Music reviews of Stars and the Moon (Live at the Donmar)
Music Review: Very poor selection of songs
Rating: 3 Stars
I have all of Betty Buckley's c.d's (albums). This album has some good tracks, but several of he songs are tedious and unjustifiable for a singer of her caliber. Her poor judgment makes the bad songs trump the good ones.
Another "B" c.d. I wish she could have gotten Broadway out her system and gone the way of Diana Krall. Not my place to order different songs, but this album is not one of her best.
Description of Stars and the Moon (Live at the Donmar)
While Stars and the Moon does open with Sondheim's "Not a Day Goes By," followed by Jerome Kern's classic "Just the Way You Look Tonight," acclaimed singer-actress Betty Buckley here departs from the expected format of Broadway standards. She is accompanied on this live performance in 2000 at London's celebrated Donmar by a band of jazzmen, whose central voice ideally pairs Buckley with arranger-pianist Kenny Werner. Under these optimal conditions, the remarkably talented Buckley sings from inside this somewhat surprising collection of tunes, delivering them with heart, soul, and beautifully imperfect grace. The warm, craggy, emotive tones of her instrument are well preserved in the recording. "Poet's Medley" fashions the lyric from bits of Dorothy Parker, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Emily Dickinson, and Buckley's turns on James Taylor's "Fire and Rain" and the traditional "Amazing Grace" come across as invitingly fresh. --Paige La GroneClassic Vocalists CDs
