Music reviews of Olivia's Live Hits
Music Review: A Very Suitable Album
Rating: 3 Stars
This CD release is a selection of performances compiled from a full-length concert which is available on DVD. Having seen the video, it's my opinion that listening to this CD is a better experience. The entire concert will seem overlong to all but the most diehard fans, while this CD entertains without wearing out it's welcome too soon.
A major plus concerning this release, is that the tracks are not continuous- they have fade-ins and fade-outs. Considering that most fans might never listen to the entire album in one sitting, the tracks are suitable for adding into compilations with other artists. Perhaps the CD was planned this way, now that we are in the age of the iPod and regarding the fact that most listeners might prefer only one Olivia track at a time, dropped into a compilation with other singers.
The sound quality is smooth, detailed and mixes the perfect amount of audience-sound ambience with the performance. On the DVD release, it was sometimes painful to see Olivia's face as she strained with some of the more demanding notes. Listening to the CD is a better experience for the consumer in this aspect. Olivia deserves a great deal of admiration for braving the unforgiving exposure of a live performance, this late in her career, and holds up better than expected under the pressure.
I'd advise anyone who might enjoy a taste of what a treasured 1970's hitmaker sounds like in the year 2007 to order this CD at once. It is perhaps her most worthwhile effort in some time, after many troubled years embroiled in personal problems, health issues, and botched album projects ranging from self-help mantras,holiday carols,and poorly recieved country and standards offerings. It's wonderful to find Olivia returning to her old standby hit singles. Right along with her, may we all re-live a little bit of our youth!
