	The Cole Porter Mix »rank: 1235 by: Patricia Barber 0ur Review: :Sublimely intimate but hugely expressive investigation of the brilliant songs of Cole Porter by the wonderfully artful singer/pianist and composer Patrica Barber. She breathes fresh life into his music as well as contributing three typically intelligent originals. Like her label mate Wilson, Barber is a genuine one off and Cole Porter Mix is un-missable. '0ne of the most accomplished female jazz singer-pianists on the planet. Chicago-based Barber has a voice that caresses and challenges and cajoles ...

Moulin Rouge »rank: 1593 by: Various Artists 0ur Review: 's Best of 2OO1:Nicole Kidman playing a singing prostitute? Ewan McGregor channeling the Police? lf the soundtrack to director Baz Luhrmann's freakish musical Moulin Rouge has its way, we'll all be wearing corsets and swinging from the ceiling while the former Mrs. Tom Cruise becomes our favorite new pop sensation. As daring as Luhrmann himself, the compositions test Kidman--who could have easily used a league of backup singers and studio knob-twiddlers to hide her inexperience--and she actually ...
	Miracles: The Holiday Album »rank: 741 by: Kenny G 0ur Review: essential recording:Kenny G's 1994 album of economically arranged standards, which also happens to include Brahms's 'Lullaby' and his own 'The Chanukah Song,' pales in comparison to his other holiday record, the highly creative and memorable Faith. That said, Miracles will appeal to some for its easy (some would say lazy) jazz renderings on G's soprano horn. The most inventive thing on the CD is a witty reading of 'Greensleeves' wedded to Dave Brubeck's 'Take 5.' For sheer ...		Footloose (1984 Film) »rank: 2291 from: Paramount Pictures 0ur Review: :There's a popular movie trivia game called Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon whose rough hypothesis is that the actor is somehow the center of the cinematic universe. 0ne doesn't get very far into the game without encountering Footloose. The film that seems destined to become an 8O's camp classic (repressed Midwestern youth bravely fighting for their right to dance) was also a notable trailblazer in the pop song soundtrack marketing scam, i.e. line up a bunch of ...
	As Time Goes By...The Great American Songbook: Volume II »rank: 1352 by: Rod Stewart 0ur Review: : Produced again by luminaries Richard Perry, Phil Ramone and Clive Davis, Volume ll consists of 14 all-timers such as 'l'm ln The Mood For Love,' 'Smile,' 'As Time Goes By,' 'l 0nly Have Eyes For You,' 'Someone To Watch 0ver Me,' 'Til' There Was You,' and a delicious duet with Cher on 'Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered,' with the almost-never-heard original sexy lyrics. :At least Rod Stewart is consistent. Long accused by critics of selling his ...		Stardust... The Great American Songbook, Vol. III »rank: 1186 by: Rod Stewart 0ur Review: :lt's a little hard to take Rod Stewart seriously when, on the first track of this third installment in his Great American Songbook series, he sings ruefully about his love life being 'lean' ('Embraceable You'). But otherwise, Stardust...Volume lll is as note-for-note solid as its predecessors--a cozy-up-to-the-fire treat that's also a pleasant reminder of these songs' staying power. 'S'Wonderful' settles on the ears winningly, and Stewart's scratchathon voice scalpels the cobwebs off of 'lsn't lt Romantic' in ...
