 (4 Customer Reviews)
This 2004 release from Bonnie Tyler includes French-language versions of two of her greatest hits, as well as 13 additional English-language tracks.
Though she's removed from her glory years of pop superstardom, Bonnie Tyler is still in fine form two decades later, and starts off this album with a French rendition of her most popular song, "Total Eclipse of the Heart," retitled as "Si Demain." And it's not the only re-recording found here, as she also does French honors to "It's a Heartache" and "Holding Out for a Hero." Her raspy, signature voice is an interesting contrast against a bed of well-polished and overly chorused music, but unfortunately this cold production is jarring given the warmth of the original tunes and her bluesy delivery. Nevertheless, it's a nice return to form that will satisfy die-hard fans, although newcomers to her sound would be better off with a greatest-hits collection instead. ~ Rob Theakston

This is a great Cd with great songs.My favs are Si demain, When i close my eyes,All night to know you (what a song!), Open your eyes and It's in the back of my mind. I don't care much for 2004 version of holding out for a hero and if you were a woman and i was a man. I stick with the originals but they are listenable.

Following the success (in France) of "Si Demain" (a remake of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" sung in both English and French lyrics) Bonnie was quickly ushered into the studio to keep the momentum going. However, the result is an absolute mess of an album. Half of the tracks here are remakes of her older songs, none of which are close to being as interesting as her originals. The worst has to be "Here She Comes", where she manages to destroy with it's poor production (somewhere Giorgio Moroder is frowning). Even the remakes of two lesser known tracks from her brilliant, very overlooked 1995 album "Free Spirit" lack the fire of the originals. The album sounds superficial and quickly thrown together but after a series of albums that sold poorly, one no longer expects greatness. Poor managing decisions and lack of promotion have haunted her for years, now her work is suffering from it.

MORE THAN PHYSICAL comes in a box consisting of the CD HAVE YOU NEVER BEEN MELLOW and a 150-page book: OLIVIA--MORE THAN PHYSICAL: A COLLECTOR'S GUIDE. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN MELLOW is also available separately on CD on Griffin (373-2).
This early release from singer Olivia Newton-John showcases her country-pop mode, with "Have You Ever Been Mellow," "Goodbye Again," and others showing off her refined vocal grace.
The hit single "Have You Never Been Mellow" carried Olivia Newton-John right back to number one, six months after "I Honestly Love You" brought the singer to that coveted position for the first time. The title track is a masterpiece of songwriting by her producer, John Farrar, an exquisitely pleasant melody with a sunny and peaceful theme. Having covered John Denver's "Take Me Home Country Roads" on the Let Me Be There album in 1973, Newton-John goes ...

Issued in late 2007, BLACKOUT is the much-touted comeback album that was designed to pull Britney Spears out from under the considerably large personal and professional shadows that had crept into her life. From Spears's bizarre head-shaving incident to her parental custody struggles to her critically reviled MTV Video Music Awards performance, most of the year was an exceedingly long train wreck for the pop superstar, and those events, to some degree, inform BLACKOUT, which stands out as a defiantly bold dance-pop offering.

Simply Believe
$8.85
Grant Green recorded so much high-quality music for Blue Note during the first half of the '60s that a number of excellent sessions went unissued at the time. Even so, it's still hard to figure out why 1964's Matador was only released in Japan in 1979, prior to its U.S. CD reissue in 1990 -- it's a classic and easily one of Green's finest albums. In contrast to the soul-jazz and jazz-funk for which Green is chiefly remembered, Matador is a cool-toned, straight-ahead modal workout that features some of Green's most advanced improvisation, even more so than his sessions with Larry Young. Part of the reason for that is that Green is really pushed by his stellar backing unit: pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist ...
