Abba - In Concert 1979

CD-Charts > Music > General
starring: Abba, Benny Andersson

Release Date June 08, 2004
My only complaint about the CD is the duration. Songs are incomplete and some just play in the background, like Eagle. A lot of footage showing the members preparing, rehearsing etc are shown. If only more songs had been recorded it would only have satisfied more discerning ABBA fans like me. ABBA is truly a great live act. They sold out Wembley on consecutive nights, something that even seasoned rock acts weren't capable of. I don't listen (or watch them) like I do with other bands but they have certainly stood the test of time as their fan base keeps growing even to this very day.

When I started listening to pop and rock in the early 80's ABBA was my favorite. Only The Beegees could make a better impression. The other band was ... Read More:

A Christmas Celebration

CD-Charts > Music > General
starring: Celtic Woman

Release Date October 02, 2007
This is a great concert!! Not as wonderful as the previous two, but because its Christmas, its different. The energy is different with the women, though. Knowing it was the last time Maev performed with the group was sad, but if you are a fan of Celtic Woman, this is worth it to have in the collection, as the music is WONDERFUL, any time of year.....!!

The Definitive Collection

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Louis Armstrong

Release Date January 24, 2006
Even though I given this a Five Star rating, I know that not everyone has the capacity to like Satchmo. However, for those music lovers who love the blues, love classics, and love pioneers of great music, this is an awesome collection from a great artist.

The majority of adults that I know have heard "What a Wonderful World". Even if it was a remake version, it is a great song.

His duet with Bing Crosby, "Gone Fishin'", is one of my favorite summer songs.

Speaking of summer,"When it's Sleepytime Down South.', is a wonderfully relaxing addition as a live cut.

Classic versions of, "Ain't Misbehavin'", "Cabaret", and :Hello Dolly" add incredible excitement.

I could go through the entire ... Read More:

Songs That Got Us Through WWII

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Various Artists

Release Date March 16, 1990
This excellent album contains eighteen songs that were popular during the WW2 years. The album starts with that well-known hit Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (performed by The Andrews Sisters), and then moves between jazzy hits (such as G.I. Jive and Yours). I really enjoyed hearing again some of the songs that used to be so close to my father's heart, including Long Ago (And Far Away) and The White Cliffs of Dover.

I must say that I found this to be a very good album. I miss my GI father, who passed away a year ago, and I felt like I captured a little piece of him when I listened to the music he loved all those years ago. So, if you like that great Big Band sound, or want to get a glimpse into the world of WW2, then get this album. I highly recommend it!

Italian Love Songs

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Dean Martin

Release Date August 28, 2001
Dean Martin was always eager to be a Pop Star, have radio hits, and be beloved. He sang with a Bing Crosby croon, a European angst, and a grin a wink that others still try to emulate. Elvis Presley, the so-called rebel, took Dean's deep throated swing to tenor and lows and made his ballads a fine copy..just listen to Elvis's early attempts. Pure Dean.
This is a compendium of Dean's Italian songs. Dean always sounded comfortable with the dramatic lyrics of an Italian love song, even more than contempory compadre Frank. + Dean had humor that others couldn't match. Frank Sinatra may have been the consummate saloon singer, but Dean was the best at making people at ease.
This CD gathers bunches of his Italian amore signatores. There are the hits, "That's ... Read More:

Judy At Carnegie Hall: Fortieth Anniversary Edition

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Judy Garland

Release Date February 27, 2001
I had long ignored Judy Garland because I unjustly assumed she only did campy show tunes. Big mistake. Yes, she does do some obligatory Broadway hits (e.g. "That's Entertainment"); but her performance here is much more versatile than I expected. Most of my musical collection favors singers like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sara Vaughan, and Nina Simone, etc. but Garland is a comfortable fit.

Best example: on disk 2 she sings "Stormy Weather" - a song made big by the likes of Ethel Waters and Lena Horne - both phenomenal singers themselves - but their versions are easily dwarfed by Garland's performance of Mort Lindsey's* arrangement of this classic blues standard. Garland's voice is a torrent of emotion that transforms the song from one of common ... Read More:
