Music reviews of The Best Of Judy Garland: 20th Century Masters (Millennium Collection)
Music Review: some of "the best of" Judy Garland
Rating: 4 Stars
First of all, I'd like to tip my hat to the reviewer who writes that so many of Judy's songs are not on this album--they entitled their review "Judy Was Never Geared Toward The Singles Market." It's true that while this CD offers nothing but exceptionally wonderful songs performed by the immortal Judy Garland, there's not enough music here for any record label to call this a "best of" type of album. What a shame, too! Judy and her fans deserve better than this. However, as I said this material is completely terrific (as far as it goes) and so that's pretty much that. In addition, the quality of the sound id very good and the artwork is nice even if it is somewhat standard for this CD series.
Naturally, this being Judy, there isn't a dud in the bunch on this album. I love every song! "Over The Rainbow" from "The Wizard of Oz" is a Decca Records recording; it's not the movie soundtrack recording but it's still quite pretty and Judy never sounded better! "I Got Rhythm" charms me and Judy sings this with tons of positive energy; and listen for another gem in "Dear Mr. Gable: You Made Me Love You" from "Broadway Melody of 1938." Judy sings this with her voice as clear as a bell and that's grand.
"Meet Me in St. Louis" comes from the film of the same name; Judy sings this faultlessly. "Embraceable You" is a fine Gershwin tune that only Judy Garland could sing so very well as she does here; and the musical arrangement fits in perfectly with her vocals. "Yah-Ta-Ta- Yah-Ta-Ta (Talk, Talk, Talk)" has Judy with Bing Crosby for this sweet and playful duet; they really sound terrific together! I love it. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" also comes from the film "Meet Me in St. Louis;" Judy sings this beautifully with genuine emotion and you can hear it in her voice.
"For Me and My Gal" is a brilliant gem that Judy loved to sing with many other songs in the years when she gave us so her wonderful concerts; and "But Not for Me" is another Gershwin ballad that showcases Judy Garland's talent. "The Trolley Song" is pure bliss to hear; I thoroughly enjoy this number which is classic in every way. "Swanee" is a song Al Jolson often sang but I think he definitely would have approved of Judy's rendition of this song. The CD ends with "On The Atchison, Topeka And The Santa Fe" from "The Harvey Girls;" it's wonderful in every way and I like how they gave us a part of the track that includes a few others singing as well.
Judy may have left us all too soon; but she obviously lives on through her CDs and her movies both on DVD and VHS. This is a must-have for fans of Judy; but please keep in mind that this is early Judy only and a great deal of her best work is not included here. I will give this four stars, however, because even though this CD is far from complete, Judy's singing and that music are sublime and that's truly very special.

Description of The Best Of Judy Garland: 20th Century Masters (Millennium Collection)
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.If Judy Garland had been born in the '80s instead of the '20s, she'd have followed the usual path taken by today's teens on their way to stardom, if not exactly legend: she'd have been on Star Search; joined the new Mickey Mouse Club; gigged around Orlando, Florida; and then been drafted to lip-synch to Swedish-produced pop songs. Luckily for us, she came around at a time when genuine talent was not just discovered and then packaged, but was given material to work with that was worthy of it. Garland was still a teenager when she recorded some of the songs included on this collection, including a number of tunes by George and Ira Gershwin ("I Got Rhythm," "Embraceable You," "Swanee"), duets with Bing Crosby and Gene Kelly, and several immortal tunes from her films, including "Over the Rainbow," "On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe," and "Meet Me in St. Louis." Her personal troubles came later, so everything on this set is bright and upbeat. --Daniel Durchholz
