Disco de Anne Murray: “An Intimate Evening With Anne Murray...Live”

Descripción (en inglés) :

Personnel includes: Anne Murray, Jann Arden, Bryan Adams. <p>All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology. <p>In her 30-year career, Canadian superstar Anne Murray has released no fewer than seven collections of her hits, but strangely, she's never released a live album. AN INTIMATE EVENING WITH ANNE MURRAY...LIVE attempts to correct that oversight. Recorded in 1996 and 1997 in Canada and California, AN INTIMATE EVENING... provides a good overview of Murray's career, from early hits like "Snowbird," to mid-period smashes like "You Needed Me," to a medley of standards from her 1993 album "Croonin'." <p>Murray also brings out two fellow Canadians--Jann Arden and Bryan Adams--for collaborations. Her duet with Adams, "What Would It Take," is a highlight, and the most energetic moment on a CD comprised mostly of ballads. Overall, the CD does live up to its name--many of the songs are presented in stripped-down versions, and Murray's between-song manner is relaxed and joking. For true Anne Murray fans, this CD is a rare chance to hear their favorites in the warmth of a live setting.

This is, quite possibly, the best live album I have ever heard. It is just like being at the concert. The only thing that this album lacks is about 20 tracks. I wish that it was longer. Other than that, you cannot go wrong.

Being a huge fan of Anne Murray, I was excited to finally have a whole CD of nothing but live recordings from this incredible singer. Although, I was *slightly* disappointed that some of Anne's greatest Hits were absent from this CD, the songs that are here are just great. Not that there's no hits here. Far from it: From The opening song: "Time Don't Run Out On Me" to the last track "Danny's Song", there's a lot of great songs here that are a lot of fun to listen to. For anyone who has not listened to Anne Murray for a while, or has never listened at all: All I can say is you have no idea what you're missing. A voice like Anne Murray's doesn't come along every day. I would also recommend the video that is also available-It contains some additional songs that are, sadly, not found on this CD, including a great duet with Celine Dion on "When I Fall In Love". The video and CD "An Intimate Evening With Anne Murray....Live" makes for a terrific evening's worth of entertainment and fun. I highly recommend both. Its a must for any Anne Murray fan and a great introduction to this singer for those who don't know the lady.

Anne Murray rock ? She certainly does on this one. The opening version of "Time Don't Run Out On Me" proves Anne still has what it takes to deliver a powerful pop song with great emotion. Her performances of " That's the Way Love Goes" and "Shame on Me" proves she can rock with the best of them-not to mention her irresistible duet with fellow Canadian Bryan Adams "What would it Take" . There are still sweet ballads included- "Somebody's always Saying Goodbye" is a good case and point and Jann Arden's performance of "Insensitive" with Anne on backing vocals is just perfect. This is an awesome live CD-Get it now....

I bought this CD for my grandmother as a thank you. Save the Last Dance for Me was the song that my grandfather and she danced to when they renewed their vowels and in October of this year my fiance and I will be using the same song.
