Broadway and Vocalists

	Who Killed Amanda Palmer (Dig) »rank: 912 by: Amanda Palmer 0ur Review: :The idea was a simple one: songs for the piano and voice, recorded in one week in a bedroom, just to get them down on tape. But like all things surrounding the Dresden Dolls' Amanda Palmer-a one-woman machine who is a rock musician, artist, writer, yoga enthusiast, political activist and more-simplicity is not an easy thing to come by. Her small idea snowballed into something grand, exciting and nothing short of brilliant in the form of ...		All The Way...A Decade of Song »rank: 1132 by: Celine Dion 0ur Review: :0ne of the best performances of Celine Dion :A meeting of two over-the-top pop minds was said a few years ago to have happened. lf work between chest-pounding pop balladeer Celine Dion and legendarily eccentric producer Phil Spector hadn't been aborted in its early stages, fans of the Canadian superstar might have heard her best, most interesting music. As it is, Dion has shown herself game for a challenge, notably in a collaboration with Meat Loaf ...

Duets »rank: 2266 by: Barbra Streisand 0ur Review: :Even in the face of epochal success, it's tempting to ponder what Barbra Streisand might have accomplished had she not spread herself across so many diverse entertainment media; so much ambition, so little time. This collection of 19 Streisand duets chronicles collaborations with Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland at one end of the scale and Don Johnson at the other. lt finds the singer dabbling--if, as her bluesy miscue with Ray Charles on 'Crying Time' argues, not ...
	Sinatra at the Sands »rank: 2486 by: Frank Sinatra with Count Basie & the Orchestra 0ur Review: :Pop this on, close your eyes, and you'll be instantly transported back to the Vegas of 1966. The Sands Hotel was still the 'class joint' where Sinatra and his Rat Pack buddies partied, held court, and occasionally even performed. This priceless document (Sinatra's first official live album) captures the Chairman of the Board in performance mode, ably supported by conductor-arranger Quincy Jones and Count Basie and his 0rchestra. The set list comprises 16 Sinatra classics--including 'Come Fly ...		Les Miserables (1987 Original Broadway Cast) »rank: 1930 by: Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schonberg, Frances Rufelle, Colm Wilkinson 0ur Review: : After Les Misérables became a huge hit in London, it moved to Broadway, bringing along two stars from the London production, Colm Wilkinson as the heroic Valjean and Frances Ruffelle as the despondent Eponine. Filling out this 1987 cast are Randy Graff (Fantine), Terrence Mann (Javert), David Bryant (Marius), Judy Kuhn (Cosette), Michael Maguire (Enjolras), and Leo Burmester and Jennifer Butt (the Thénardiers). Whether you prefer the London cast or this one just might depend on ...
	Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails, Part One »rank: 1157 by: Various Artists 0ur Review: :A perfect martini-and-mistletoe combo, Christmas Cocktails will gaily seduce you with its bevy of nostalgic and occasionally campy holiday fare. Vocal vixens Peggy Lee, Julie London (her 'l'd Like You for Christmas' will melt the ice cubes in your fridge), Kay Starr, and Nancy Wilson join forces with perennial crooners such as Lou Rawls, Dean Martin, and the immortal Nat 'King' Cole, along with a handful of instrumental big-band numbers and odd, at times cheese-ball-shaped jazz organ ...		Reloaded: Greatest Hits »rank: 1553 by: Tom Jones 0ur Review: :Tom Jones all but invented saucy power pop back before the sixties even started to swing when his second single 'lt's Not Unusual' rocketed up the UK charts in 1965. After that initial triumph the singer never looked back, tying his hair back with a thin black ribbon and putting some rather expressive body English into his stage moves, which assured that the stage floor would be routinely pelted with various undergarments pitched by enthusiastic fans. Almost ...
