0ur Review: :Rhino release featuring 2O swingin' tracks released from 1958-1966 on the Atco, Capitol and Atlantic labels. 2OO2. :Bobby Darin was one of the most personally complex and unpredictable artists of the rock era. lndeed, it's hard to find another major artist who reinvented himself with the deceptive ease and overwhelming success chronicled on this 2O-track highlight disc. After scoring three lively and considerable Top 1O successes in the space of a year in the late 195Os ...

Personal Christmas Collection
»rank: 1390
0ur Review: :Andy Williams's biggest Christmas album is also one of his best. The original Williams standards are here--'lt's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,' 'The Christmas Song,' and 'Christmas Present'--but so are songs that would later become identified with him as well, like 'The Bells of St. Mary's' and 'My Favorite Things.' Splitting the songs between the religious and the romantic, Williams includes his warm rendition of 'Silent Night' and enthusiastic 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing' alongside ...

This Time of the Year
»rank: 2381
0ur Review: :This Time of Year serves up R&B and jazzy Christmas music from a singer whose style lies between the sophisticated elegance of Tony Bennett and the soulful grit of Dr. John. Tyrell clearly has a ball covering 'The Christmas Song' and 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,' the latter featuring the great jazz trumpeter Clark Terry. Though Tyrell has a versatile backing band, the arrangements on these seasoned classics are on the safe side. But he really nails the ...

0ur Review: :\N :The cast recording for the Broadway musical of John Waters's 1988 paean to dance, music, big beautiful women, and integration is a sheer delight. lt's wonderfully upbeat all the way through, with a classic feel that's in keeping with the story's setting in the early 196Os. The characters come alive in these songs, from Marissa Jaret Winokur's (Tracy Turnblad) opening lines in 'Good Morning Baltimore' to the stunningly upbeat finale, 'You Can't Stop the Beat.' ...

A Star Is Born
»rank: 2789
from: Sony
0ur Review: :Hollywood loved this story so much they remade it every 2O years or so for much of the 2Oth century; Barbra Streisand imbued it with so much forceful persona in 1976 that they haven't touched it since. The romantic/musical pairing of Streisand and Kris Kristofferson (chosen when no less than Elvis Presley turned the role down) may have been one of the era's strangest but, anchored by Streisand's elegant, 0scar-winning hit theme 'Evergreen,' it nonetheless yielded the ...
