Ms.McPhee is an extra ordinary talent. She brings passion to many of the songs, especially Harold Arlen's Ill Wind - and I most enjoyed her a cappella rendition of Rodgers and Hart's Isn't It Romantic.We discover a lonely woman remembering her lost childhood as she sings the Rodgers and Hart standard Little Girl Blue.She hopelessly tries to face her demons with the Arlen/Koehler lament Ill Wind.Sunlight and hope slowly enter her heart as she lifts her spirit with the immortal Who Can I Turn To? from "The Roar of the Greasepaint, The Smell of the Crowd."Three well-known love ballads comprise the scenario about the man of her dreams: The Man I Love, More Than You Know, and The More I See You.An accapella version of Isn't It Romantic? Gives a lively impression of a girl's glee club having fun.A sensual rendering of But Beautiful and All of You reveals the truly ...

| | Bruce Springsteen Born To Run CD (1975)
Haunted Melodies: Songs Of Rahsaan Roland Kirk.
$9.69   
BORN TO RUN is the album that turned Springsteen from a phenomenon into a superstar. His first couple of releases found Bruce working out his fascination with Dylan and Van Morrison on earthy, wordy, folk-rock-R&B tunes full of soul and punch. On BORN TO RUN, Springsteen became even more ambitious, synthesizing Spectorian production with Orbison-esque drama and Duane Eddy-influenced guitar work, creating something grand enough to be called rock opera but too proletarian to ever claim that title.
BORN TO RUN was also the first album where the Boss began to crystallize his recurring theme of working class America's doomed-but-passionate rage against its circumstances. With the earnestness and emotion that bursts forth from Springsteen's street poems, the album is never less than exhilarating, and songs like "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" (a tongue-in-cheek history of the E Street Band) provide humor. "She's The One" puts the Bo Diddley beat to its most effective ...
