Free Music Notes for Jonathan Sings LarsonFree Music Review: I Loved it! Hit: 4 Stars
I bought this CD for my son (even though we are both Rentheads) and I absolutely love it. I haven't watched the DVD yet but the CD is great.
Free Music Review: Unfortunately Lacking Hit: 2 Stars
I don't want to be a hater here but this CD is not great. I am huge fan of Jonathan's song-writing abilities and I've seen RENT over a dozen times in NYC and also got the chance to see tick, tick...boom off-Broadway. I was really anticipating this CD very much since I obviously have the other cast recordings and I was anxious to hear Larson's interpretations of his own work. Sadly, as brilliant as he was a composer, it just didn't carry over vocally. The songs that are unknown--like most composers--are not great. However, I think a compilation album of his work, including the unknown and never-before-heard tunes, would be a great idea and feature some of today's top singers doing their own interpretations (please, no Seasons of Love...it's quickly becoming the "Memory" of the 90s!).
This is indeed a must-have for Rent heads to be sure.
