(2 Customer Reviews)
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD was originally released as a two-CD set of spirituals and inspirational pop songs in 1999. The 2008 edition cuts the selection from 26 to 14 songs, eliminating most of the classic gospel hymns and focusing primarily on Anne Murray's sweet-toned easy-listening versions of stalwart pop tunes like the Beatles' "Let It Be," Jackie DeShannon's "Put A Little Love In Your Heart," and Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water." The elimination of most of the straight gospel material (cut down to a handful of songs in the disc's second half, including "Amazing Grace," "The Old Rugged Cross," and "How Great Thou Art") brings the set more in line with Murray's usual secular releases, which have a similar focus on well-known pop covers.

What A Wonderful World album
$38.49 DREAMS is a 4-CD box set compiling in chronological order tracks by the Allman Brothers Band, as well as tracks by bands featuring one or more member of the Allman Brothers Band and solo performances by Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts.
Recorded between 1966 & 1988. Includes a 32-page illustrated booklet and liner notes by John Swenson.
Like nearly all box sets, DREAMS has plenty to recommend it-and a few nagging drawbacks. The set's chief shortcoming is its two conflicting goals: providing an overview of the Allmans' history, thus attracting buyers seeking the ultimate hits package, and including enough unreleased tracks and rarities to appeal to the band's most devoted fans. As a result, DREAMS is neither the definitive Allman Brothers collection nor the gift to hardcore fans that, say, THE BOOTLEG SERIES is to Dylan-philes.
DREAMS' strengths are considerable. First and foremost, the box contains nearly five wall-to-wall hours of great music. By including everything from early demos to Gregg Allman and Dickie Betts' solo material, DREAMS does a great job of tracing the group's musical evolution from hippie blues band to kings of Southern rock. And, while the unreleased studio version of "Statesboro Blues" included here isn't definitive, it's still mighty good-as are the set's other rarities. ...

What A Wonderful World CD music
$14.39 CROONIN' is Murray's a tribute to the most celebrated vocalists of the 1950's. This release contains 18 cover versions of the songs made famous originally by singers such as Rosemary Clooney, Doris Day, Bing Crosby and Perry Como.
Murray drops any pretense of singing pure country and steps into a Patti Page/Peggy Lee guise instead. The whole set consists of her taking on chestnuts like "The Wayward Wind," "Secret ...

What A Wonderful World songs
$16.05 Anne Murray's two-disc companion CD to 1999's WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD and follow-up to her 1995 MY XMAS FAVORITES album features the hardy Canadian singer in top form on a collection of popular Christmas classics with full orchestral accompaniment. Her clear, pure voice is well-suited to a set that embraces both "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and "Hark the Herald Angels Sing." She conjures traditional visions of good cheer with her "Santa Medley" which takes us through a plethora of Santa-related material, including "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus," and of course, "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town."
There's a jazzy version of "Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow," and several nice renditions of "The Coventry Carol" (the best is by a brass quintet). Of course, the highlight is the bittersweet "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," a song which conjures both the joy and sadness of ...
| | Anne Murray Country Croonin' CDs (2002)
What A Wonderful World album
$17.15 Serving as a companion to Anne Murray's 1993 collection CROONIN', (a tribute to pre-rock & roll artists of the '50s), COUNTRY CROONIN' more than lives up its equally intriguing predecessor. For an artist whose spent her career straddling the worlds of pop and country music, this two-CD set brings the Canuck siren full circle. In her quest for material, Murray is fairly forthright about her biases. The Everly Brothers, Kris Kristofferson, and Don Gibson all rate highly with multiple selections. Murray's impeccable taste also finds her digging up plenty of other classics including the 1963 Skeeter Davis smash "End Of The World," the Volunteer State official anthem "Tennessee Waltz," and the Hank Williams nugget "Take These Chains From My Heart."
Other artists getting a tip of the hat include fellow Canadian legend Hank Snow ("A Fool Such As I"), Patsy Cline ("I Fall To Pieces"), and Elvis Presley ("Can't Help Falling In Love With You," "Always On My Mind"). Best of all is "Let It Be Me," a sweet-sounding Vince Gill duet that was originally a 1960 Top 10 hit for The Everly Brothers. Stellar liner notes by noted Nashville music ...

| | Zimbabwe: Shona Mbira Music CD (2002)
What A Wonderful World music CDs
$9.65 Recorded in Zimbabwe between 1971 & 1974. Originally released on Nonesuch (72077). Includes liner notes by Paul Berliner.
One of three wonderful collections centered around the mbira (thumb piano), Shona Mbira Music provides a superb overview of this branch of African Music. The gorgeous melody of the first track, "Nhemamusasa" (attractive enough to be filched later on by the Penguin Café Orchestra) is presented both in a bare-bones, instrumental format and then again with the appropriate accompanying vocals. It has the sort of percolating rhythm and general infectiousness that make one wish it would continue forever. The vocals on this and other pieces, rough by Western standards, are ...
