Music reviews of Somebody Loves Me
Music Review: Rare Betty Hutton Capitol and RCA Records Beautifully Remastered
Rating: 5 Stars
The ups and downs of Betty Hutton's career and private life would well serve a biography or musical film (if Hollywood was indeed still making those bio-musicals of the fifties). Certainly time has not been kind to the type of boisterous characters she played on the big screen nor to her general approach to her songs. Therefore, it is a pleasure to write that Sepia Records' Somebody Loves Me, is a collection of Betty Hutton songs sure to please anyone interested in film musicals or pop music of the forties and fifties, as well as the more hardcore Hutton fans. First and foremost, there is the long overdue CD release of her RCA recordings from Somebody Loves Me, a 1952 Paramount film based on the life of Blossom Seeley. Hutton approaches this material with a softness and subtlety that is rare in her other recordings. In particular, "Rose Room", "Dixie Dreams", "Jealous", and "That Teasin' Rag" benefit greatly from her beautifully restrained performances. For fans of her more frenetic style, the CD includes several Capitol and RCA hits including "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief", "Murder He Said", and "It's Oh So Quiet". And then there are wonderful gems never before issued on LP or CD: "The More I Go Out With Somebody Else", "The Musicians", and "How D'Ye Do and Shake Hands" (an opportunity to hear this entire song which is only fleetingly heard in Disney's Alice in Wonderland). Dinah Shore, Tony Martin and Phil Harris join Hutton on the latter two. The last six songs on the CD have never been re-released since their 45 and 78 rpm days on Capitol records. While Hutton's voice is deeper and huskier on these recordings they benefit greatly from Nelson Riddle's orchestrations. Finally, we are treated to Hutton's haunting version of "It Had to Be You" and the rare "Don't Tell Me That Story" each of which she delicately treats with a lovely subdued verse and/or chorus followed by a more "swing" tempo.
The sound quality of this CD (as it seems with all of Sepia's releases) is generally excellent with only "Don't Tell Me That Story" actually revealing its 78 rpm source. But then, the sound quality of that original 78 record was dubious to begin with. If you are deciding which Betty Hutton CDs to buy (as there are several available now) I would strongly suggest purchasing Somebody Loves Me, generous with its rare photos and recording dates, followed by DRG's Satins and Spurs (which also includes all of Hutton's early Capitol recordings), The Best of the RCA Years, and the Rhino soundtrack of the MGM film, Annie Get Your Gun.
