Free Music Notes for Surrender (Expanded Edition)
Free Music Review: Gold from the diva archives
Hit: 4 Stars
After years of rehashed greatest hits, here's a reminder of why this woman has been a star for half a century. She sings with soul, abandon, and sounds like she's having a ball. The slow burn of "Reach Out, I'll Be There" is classic Diana and three cheers for the alternate take on "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"-the unedited version, thank you.Free Music Review: Remastered???
Hit: 3 Stars
Love most of the songs on this "grab bag" CD...some interesting bonus tracks from the vaults...but don't tell me the tracks were "remastered"! Sounds like the music was recorded in a shoe box; dull, one dimensional, muffled.
I'd give this another star if not for the horrible sound quality.
IMO, many of the songs on this LP deserved more attention and praise at the time. I was just starting to hit the clubs in 1971 and I remember "Surrender" being a crowd favorite. Many consider it a seminal disco record ("pre-disco" disco)... it should have been stretched to 4:30 minimum play time!
"Reach Out" was a decent follow-on to "Ain't No Mountain.." -- same lush arrangements, very dramatic build up...but just not as tight as its predecessor. Sort of builds to a "so what?" point...still, it's a classic IMO.
Free Music Review: can't say there's one song i really like on it
Hit: 1 Stars
I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with this album. Usually there's at least 8 out of the 10 songs that I love or at least like a bit. But I can't say that about any of them. The best thing about this album is the cover Ms. Ross looks fabulous. But I would pass on this album purchase.
