Free Music Review: What's not to love
Hit: 4 Stars

Bette Midler reminds me of Jerry Garcia. They both seem charming and lovable; both are talented interpreters of the American popular canon with good musical taste; both have a way of making amiable, comfortable records; and both are given to annoying excess and self-indulgent missteps. Happily, this is a Bette Midler album that emphasizes her strengths. Perhaps the ever-reliable Don Was as producer can be thanked for this. This album is chock full of good to excellent material (Teddy Pendergrass's Love TKO, Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello's God Give Me Strength, Baby Washington's That's How Heartaches Are Made, the Temptations' Just My Imagination, Kirsty MacColl's In These Shoes, the theme song Nobody Else But You from her TV show, etc.) that she treats with humor and affection. She is in great voice throughout and the arrangements are intelligent and tasteful. She's not going to win any awards for producing definitive performances of these songs; almost all of them are better in their original versions. But she creates a coherent and highly enjoyable album, nonetheless. The only weak points are the rather bland ballad Color of Roses and the throw away Euro Disco of Bless the Child. If only she and Jerry had worked together...

Bette Poster

Like its predecessor Bathhouse Betty, Bette Midler's Bette spends a good deal of its playing time on ambitious, smartly chosen songs. Even the biggest pop-ballad success here is a Dionne Warwick-style take on the Elvis Costello/Burt Bacharach weeper "God Give Me Strength," rather than a dire work of schlock such as "The Wind Beneath My Wings." Elsewhere, Midler continues to indulge her cheeky side (the album's working title was Bette, Bath and Beyond) with Kirsty MacColl's Cuban-influenced "In These Shoes," and revives Teddy Pendergrass's classic "Love TKO" with an impressively throaty vocal. The handful of Hallmark-esque tunes near the disc's end doesn't diminish the subtlety and tastefulness of the rest of it. --Park Slope
