Music reviews of Got No Strings

Music Review: Less than I expected.
Rating: 3 Stars

I've enjoyed Michelle's music for many years, and I knew she would put a twist to these Disney classics.

She has, but I find the whole CD rather flat--though I cannot put my finger on what's missing or what might make it better.

Die hard Shocked fans will probably like it, newcomers should be wary.

Description of Got No Strings

The most kid-friendly of Michelle Shocked's three simultaneous June 2005 releases, Got No Strings brings the spirit of swing--from western to supper-club--to a collection of Disney soundtrack tunes. The steel guitar of Greg Leisz helps transform the familiar "A Dream Is a Wish" into a honky-tonk waltz, until the sprightly fiddle of Gabe Witcher takes a break that recalls the 1930s' Hot Club of France. Shocked imbues "When You Wish upon a Star" with a breathy sophistication, gives "Spoonful of Sugar" a bluesy tinge, and has never sounded more tender than she does on the lullaby "Baby Mine." Producer/guitarist Nick Forster of Hot Rize and band provide sprightly support throughout. From the hipster scat of "To Be a Cat" to the concluding yodel of "Spoonful of Sugar," Shocked and her musicians sound like they're having fun. --Don McLeese
