Music reviews of The Garland Touch
Music Review: what an exquisite gem--BRAVO, JUDY GARLAND !!!
Rating: 5 Stars
Judy Garland clearly exuded a singular talent, a type of genius found only once in a lifetime. She could dance, act faultlessly--and she sang extraordinarily well as you'll hear on this CD! Judy is in excellent form on this album and the extra tracks are a huge treat for her fans. Sure, these songs may not have been recorded all at the same time; but the songs flow together quite well and it's really a fine album in every way. The quality of the sound on this CD is excellent and the artwork is nicely done.
"Lucky Day" starts the CD with Judy swinging brightly to make this number bright! Her excellent diction combined with her sophisticated phrasing makes "Lucky Day" a very special number. That classic Vegas sounding musical arrangement enhances the number, too. "I Happen To Like New York" features Judy squarely front and center--which is quite all right by me! There's a chorus in the background although Judy scarcely needed it--her talents were much, much more than enough to carry her through on her own. "Comes Once in a Lifetime" has plenty of energy as Judy sings this to perfection--and beyond! Judy handles complex tempo and key changes like the pro she always was and still remains!
The "Judy at The Palace" medley has always been one of my favorite Garland numbers; Judy performs this with panache and the music, including the strings, fits in perfectly with her vocals. Wisely, however, the musicians never even try to steal the show from Judy; she's right there front and center and I love it. Similarly, `Happiness Is Just a Thing Called Joe" has Judy shining brighter than silver and gold combined; "Happiness Is Just a Thing Called Joe" is easily one of the major highlights of this album.
"Sweet Danger" is very well done; and listen also for the very poignant "You'll Never Walk Alone." Incredible! "Do I Love You?" sports a fine Latin beat that works wonders for this tune; and Judy sings this without ever letting go of a single superfluous note! "More Than You Know" is very easy on the ear; and I really like "It's A Great Day for the Irish" which Judy sang in the MGM movie entitled "Little Nellie Kelly."
"Why Was I Born?" is another very moving number that Judy aces as effortlessly as if it were mere breathing; and her rendition of "Stormy Weather" is one of the best bonus tracks on this album. "It's Lovely to be Back In London" has Judy singing this from the very bottom of her heart--and the arrangement makes great use of the strings, too. "Come Rain or Come Shine" has some fine percussion to accompany Judy as she performs this passionately; and there's yet another gem in the bonus track "Chicago." Judy Garland delivers "Chicago" with panache and it's terrific, to say the least. "San Francisco" is another brilliant bonus track; Judy sings this with so much energy that I'm amazed at just how well she does this every time I hear it--and it leaves me wanting more from Judy!
Judy Garland left us all too soon; but thankfully we can lovingly remember her by listening to her albums, watching her movies and her many television appearances including her weekly television show on DVD. We are so much better off for Judy having shared her talent with us; she lives on through her incredible artistry.
