Music reviews of Miss Show Business / Judy
Music Review: The brilliance of Judy Garland: She is STILL one of the standout belters to this very day!
Rating: 5 Stars
To write that Judy garland was in excellent form here on this CD would be a gross understatement. Her voice is as close to perfection on these tracks as any performer could ever hope to achieve. Although Judy worked hard at MGM and sang in many MGM movies, after she left MGM Judy made several record albums for Capitol Records between the years 1955 and 1965. The two record albums recorded onto this CD are clearly the penultimate Garland, with the only possible exception being Judy at Carnegie Hall. Her voice is emotionally beautiful and powerfully charged. Indeed, if all you do is close your eyes and just listen to Judy sing with such honesty and complete emotional involvement, her voice itself leads you wherever Judy wishes you to go. When she sings "Over The Rainbow," for example, the way her voice quivers, the ever so slight sound of her crying and the style with which she enunciates each word sends shivers up and down my spine and really, truly makes me believe that not only does she want to be over the rainbow-but now I do, too.
Some people would call this CD as a "two-fer." The word "two-fer" simply means that two record albums are presented here on one single CD. A great value! The two record albums are entitled Miss Show Business and Judy. You really only pay two or three dollars more to get both albums on one CD; it is not overpriced. The liner notes included tell the story of how the albums came to be: Judy signing with Capitol Records, how Judy worked for the first time with Nelson Riddle to produce the album entitled Judy, how each album won shining reviews and hit the charts, and how her personal emotional involvement with each song made for the extraordinary performances recorded here.
The liner notes include excerpts from the original liner notes from the record albums with a few color photos of Judy. There is also a black and white picture of the front cover of the record album entitled Miss Show Business.
If you haven't experienced Judy Garland, you simply can't go wrong if you start with this CD of her two record albums entitled Miss Show Business and Judy. You'll be amazed at the simultaneous power, softness, and even vulnerability in her voice--all displayed at the same time on many tracks such as, of course, "Over The Rainbow." Then there are other songs that have a distinct vaudeville flavor to them that can even be interpreted as playful. I personally like "Maybe I'll Come Back," which was a favorite song of Judy's father Frank Gumm. The song "Lucky Day" displays an ecstasy that few singers can emote with their voices. "After You've Gone" is also brilliantly performed.
In short, this is a great starter album for people who want to get more familiar with Judy's work after she left MGM and produced art her own way. It is obviously a must have for Judy fans everywhere, fans of pop vocals, vaudeville and nostalgia. True, the CD lacks the song "I'm Old Fashioned" which will disappoint Judy fans, but this flaw can definitely be overlooked by the incredibly high quality control of every single second of the rest of all the songs here. Get this CD and enjoy the lady who has often been called "America's greatest entertainer!"
