Free Music Notes for Hair - Actors' Fund of America Benefit Recording
Free Music Review: Great reinterpretation of a Broadway classic.
Hit: 5 Stars
I approached this recording with trepidation.
Everyone has grown up with HAIR. Everyone knows HAIR. Even if you think you don't, you do. So many of these songs have wormed their ways into pop culture that you'll be finding yourself wondering aloud (as I did the first time I heard the OBCR), woah, you mean that song is from a musical?
And, to be honest, after Broadway's hit-or-miss track record with revivals and "reinterpretations" lately, I was suspicious of a HAIR re-doing. Would the new arrangements sound too plastic? Would the cast even be able to recapture the hurt, anger and passion of the younger generation of 30 years ago?
Well, thankfully, my reservations went completely unrealized. This recording is a wonderful and refreshing take on a rather dated Broadway show.
The recording is clear and brilliant, the ensemble is pitch perfect, and the soloists sing until their throats bleed. The arrangements, when they differ with the original, are at least as good, and in some cases, better.
Recommendable to all fans of theatre and pop crossover music.
