Angel Of The American Stage Music Review Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars)  If It's Live, SAY It's Live!
The cover makes no mention about the fact that all but four tracks on this compilation, are live performances. I'm a young man who is just getting into Della, and I feel a little deceived by this album, but at least the art work is beautiful, and the live songs aren't actually bad. Della's voice shines through the sloppy quality, and she melts your heart with old favorites such as "Don't You Know" and "Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey?"
But... IT'S LIVE, FOLKS! Remember, most of these compilations by this label, are sloppy live performances, and they make no mention of it, so beware.

Musically, the album finds Dylan once again mining the stately traditionalist sound first heard on LOVE AND THEFT. Lazy blues numbers, piano-based songbook pop, and jumpin' country swing provide the backdrop for Dylan's continuing study of the vicissitudes of life, love, and death. Although he is certainly world-weary, a lot of life is lived in the verses of these songs and there is a dogged spirituality that provides, if not hope (a rather prosaic notion for Dylan by this point, to be sure), at least a means to finding contentment. Finally, a word about Dylan's voice here: while his singing has always been unconventional and never pretty in any traditional sense, in its raspy magnificence it is simply perfect for this timeless music.

| | Carole Bayer-Sager Carole Bayer Sager CD (1977) England
Angel Of The American Stage songs
$12.05
In the 1960s and 1970s Carole Bayer Sager wrote such hits as "A Groovy Kind of Love" for Wayne Fontana and "I'd Rather Leave While I'm In Love" for Rita Coolidge. Pushed and promoted by Clive Davis, and produced by Brooks Arthur, Sager debuted her first solo album in 1977 with cameos by Peter Allen, Bette Midler, Tony Orlando, Nicky Hopkins, Brena Russell, Marvin Hamlisch, Madeline Kahn, and others.
This is actually an extraordinary album by the veteran songwriter who hit as far back as 1966 with "A Groovy Kind of Love." The little granny voice of Carole Bayer Sager is full of soul and passion -- so pure and fragile, it is a shame it never got to dominate the charts. The title track of Melissa Manchester's Home to Myself album is a total delight here, closing out this set; it was released four years after Manchester's version. It's a home run on a ten-song Brooks Arthur production that is full of big moments. Sager co-wrote Midnight Blue, Manchester's breakthrough hit on Arista, but "Home to Myself" was on the Bell imprint, presumably when Larry Uttall ran the label prior to Clive Davis coming onboard. With that in mind, these compact gems seem all the more precious, be it a lesser-known title like "Steal Away Again," co-written by Bette Midler and Bruce Roberts, or one of the many covers of her more popular titles: "I'd Rather Leave While I'm in Love," which Rita Coolidge brought to the Top 40 in 1980, three years after this incarnation; or "Come in From the Rain" and "You're Moving Out Today," two songs that were minor adult contemporary hits. It is amazing the 5th Dimension or Peaches & Herb couldn't take "Steal Away Again" to the masses, or that Helen Reddy let something so good slip through her fingers. The stellar cast makes this collection a keeper beyond the solid songwriting. Peter Allen co-writes "Shy ...
