- A stellar collection of great standards.
It is always rewarding when a vocalist with great chops and unerring taste pays homage to her musical roots. Anne Murray has done so with her CD "Croonin'". This album is chock full of wonderful music and memorable performances. Q
"Cape Cod", "Secret Love", "Hey There", and "Make Love To Me" are highlights in this stellar collection of great standards. Anne co-produced this album with Tommy West, co-producer of her current cd, "What A Wonderful World". Together they have produced a lush, contemporary sounding record that pays tribute to the great crooners of the 50's. How refreshing it is to hear an obviously gifted vocalist at the top of her game, who doesn't feel the need to indulge in overwrought vocal pyrotechnics when performing, an annoying trait that far too many contemporary vocalists succumb to. When you listen to the reverential treatment that Anne gives these songs, you understand why she has remained so popular for over 30 years. You understand why she has won countless Grammys and Junos. And finally, you understand what musical excellence truly is. Treat yourself to one of Anne Murray's greatest recordings.

- Do you like GOOD music?
This is a group of songs that were some of Anne Murray's favorites when she was growing up in the fifties, and for my money, each is a new and improved version. As a professional musician, I am just SO impressed by the wonderful arrangements, terrific instrumental performances, and, of course, the beautiful and classy voice of Anne Murray that make this a CD you will listen to over and over. And there are so many songs on it that you won't get tired of hearing them. Most are ballads. I dare you to try to be stressed out after listening to this CD for even a short time. My cassette player ate the Croonin' tape and I was in absolute withdrawal until I purchased the CD. Enjoy. 4 personas de un total de 4 encontraron útil la siguiente opinión:
- Definitely a reference work of exceptional beauty.
I bought this CD because the songs are classics and because I thought Anne Murray had a good voice. I was wrong !! This CD is exceptional in its depth of sound and Ms. Murray's beautiful renditions. The arrangements are superb without the instrumentation overwhelming the singer. Every song is a gem. Old standards like Cape Cod and Teach Me Tonight evoke fond memories. You will not go wrong buying this CD. This one is a keeper. Oh yeah !!!.. 4 personas de un total de 4 encontraron útil la siguiente opinión:
- A must for all lovers of great music...
Anne has a gift for making any song uniquely her own. This album is smooth, unpretentious and shows off her great vocals without the annoying "Celine'-type vocal acrobatics-a true professional. Best tunes include "The Wayward Wind", "Make love to me", "Old Cape Cod", and "Cry Me a river" 2 personas de un total de 2 encontraron útil la siguiente opinión:
- Anne's wonderful tribute to the 50's.
This cd of 50's standards sung by the Legendary Anne Murray is a fantastic set of music... many have done some of the songs on this cd and basically some haven't brought anything new to them, instead of trying to do copy versions of them, the arrangements here are different and some of the songs are given a nice country tempo, and Anne's beautiful voice just shines on this cd! |
