Music reviews of Love Songs & Lullabies
Music Review: Can't always have perfection: 3-1/2 stars
Rating: 3 Stars
Several days ago, I was excited to find that Jim had a new CD out: Love Songs & Lullabies. Woo-hoo! My first play in the car, rather than coming home, was like opening the door and finding that I had gone to someone else's house. Where is the passion? I've listened to it a bunch of times since then, and I'm growing to like this CD, but it's not Destiny. It plays much better on a stereo than in the car. Love Never Fails is...nice, but flat compared to It Must Be You (Simple Things). I See the Moon (traditional lyrics)gave me nightmares, running endlessly through my head in my dreams (when was the last time THAT happened?). I was hoping that A Mother's Day was a freak accident, but it's b-a-c-k, even if it is slightly more tolerable. This time as Beautiful, which All-4-One is unable to save. I like sappy lyrics, but these are really heavy-handed: "...I've seen rainbows that could take your breath away The beauty of the setting sun on any given day And when it comes to shooting stars I have seen a few, but I've never seen anything as beautiful as you" Cough! Ack! Get that fur-ball up! Jim Brickman has crossed the line from sweet and romantic to saccharine. I guess it was bound to happen. Look what happened to George Winston. The best vocal on this CD is the last: You. This song has the feel of the songs on Simple Things, and I imagine it would be great in a Disney movie. The lyrics are sweet, not sickly...or is it the great performance by Jane Krakowski? The best songs on this CD are the instrumentals, which do hearken back to his earlier effort, By Heart (go Jim!). Simple instrumentation. They make the CD worth having, but they are not Brickman's heart-wrenching best work. Maybe I need to listen a few more times. If you are new to Jim Brickman, get Destiny instead.For only 38 minutes of music, unless you are a die-hard Jim Brickman fan, I'd say to wait until you can get a used copy for cheap. That said, I'm still going to his show when he's in town. Love-ya, Brick', but a bit more next time, okay? Can't wait.
Description of Love Songs & Lullabies
Japanese version featuring 5 bonus tracks: "Valentine", "Gift", "Destiny", "Love Of My Life", & one new recording.Created, it would seem, as a special-occasion soundtrack for love-struck dreamers, the eighth career recording from Jim Brickman is a rewarding collection of eight instrumentals and four vocal tracks--one that will especially be appreciated by the pianist's longer-term fans. Beyond the sentimental excess of a couple of vocal tracks, the disc's affecting piano solos (most with minimal or no accompaniment) compare favorably with works found on Brickman's esteemed early-career releases, No Words, By Heart, and Picture This. At his best, Brickman composes touching, mentally engaging sonic essays that articulate the fragility and deeper complexities of interpersonal relations. He's working at a high level throughout Love Songs and Lullabies, shading his solo compositions with moods that shift subtly from reverence to romance to (as on the gems "Night Prayer" and "Safe and Sound") appreciative contemplation. On "Little Stars," Brickman revisits "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" (first explored on By Heart), intertwines it with "Rock-a-Bye Baby," and elevates the simple melodies into something regally refined. Noteworthy vocal tracks include a tender interpretation of 1 Corinthians 13 ("Love Never Fails," with Canadian vocalist Amy Sky) and "You," a gently upbeat charmer sung beautifully by Ally McBeal alumna Jane Krakowski (Elaine). Downside: The disc, released less than a year after Simple Things, has a run time of less than 38 minutes. Upside: Brickman's splendid piano solos more than compensate. --Terry Wood
