Free Music Notes for Broadway, My Way
Free Music Review: Essential Eder
Hit: 4 Stars
Linda Eder comes through once again with her wonderful Broadway ablum. The songs she has chosen fully highlight her fantastic range from alto to soprano and her beautiful vocal abilities. One plus to her repetoire on this album is that she has chosen some well-known songs and some not so well-known. I especially like "Anthem" from Chess, her interpretation of "Edelweiss" from The Sound of Music, "Unusual Way" from Nine and "The Man of La Mancha".
Fantastic recording and essential for any Eder fan, new and old!
Free Music Review: Amazing singer, amazing voice!
Hit: 5 Stars
I know that this almost sounds like a Josh Groban review, but my first introduction to Linda Eder was when I saw her live on a PBS special. She was incredible! Then a few months later a friend gave me a CD with a couple songs of her singing on there! WOW!!!!! I don't know if Ms. Eder will be the next Streisand, but she's got talent and plenty of it! Linda, please do a duet with Josh sometime!!!!

You have to wonder what Linda Eder thinks of the inevitable comparisons to Barbra Streisand that are made every time somebody hears her sing for the first time. The answer to that implicit question would be found when Eder belts out "Don't Rain on My Parade" from "Funny Girl" in the middle of her "Broadway, My Way" album, and you can draw your own conclusions. With only two songs by her husband Frank Wildhorn (a much, much better song writer than James Brolin, by the way), "Gold" from the work-in-progress "Camille Claudel" and "A New Life" from "Jekyll & Hyde," Eder explores other Broadway standards this time around.On this particular album I ended up liking the songs she did that were originally performed by male singers on Broadway, although I think that has more to do with how much I like "Anthem" from the often forgotten "Chess," "What Kind of Fool I Am" from "Stop the World I Want to Get Off," and pretty much anything from "Man of La Mancha." This is not a carte blanche liking, since I did not care for the production approaches on "I Am What I Am" from "La Cage Aux Folles" or "Eldewiss" from "The Sound of Music." Obviously, when Eder powers up and starts belting a song that is what I like the best. But that is not something she does on every song and I can still enjoy her more mellow, jazzy version of "The Street Where You Live" from "My Fair Lady."
I was actually thinking that there was a song she should have done instead of "A New Life," given what she was doing with so many of the other songs, and that was to do "This is the Moment" from "Jekyll & Hyde" instead. I still remember Sarah Brightman doing "Music of the Night" at a concert honoring Andrew Lloyd Webber, and so that idea fuels by thoughts as much as just wanting to hear Eder sing that song. "Broadway, My Way" has some of the best things Eder has done and while not everything will strike the mark with you when you listen to it, there should be more than enough here for even fans of Broadway who are not overly familiar with her work to justify picking this one up.
Free Music Review: Great singer, lousy engineering
Hit: 1 Stars
I love Linda Eder, but on this CD she is hidden behind the orchestra. I tried it on several machines. I even used an equalizer to help bring out her voice. What a waste of money. And, hey! what a waste of Linda!!!Free Music Review: Linda Eder is a True Broadway Singer
Hit: 5 Stars
This is my second Linda Eder album, and it ranks the best. What drew me to this album in particular is the fact that I love broadway. I knew Linda has/had an extraordinary talent(my first album was "Storybook") and she sings with the voice of an angel. I have never heard anyone sing broadway like Linda can. She sings each song with intense passion, emotion, and feeling. "I Am What I Am" is enough reason to buy this album. My favorite songs are "I Am What I Am", "Anthem", "Some People", "Don't Rain On My Parade", and "Man Of La Mancha." Take it from me, buy this album. Broadway lovers, you won't be dissipointed. After listening to her mesmerizing voice, you'll be left wondering, "Why is it that this woman has the most beautiful voice in the world, and she wasn't in most of these musicals?" Don't believe me? Then you will miss out on one of this era's most beautiful and talented singer's. Still don't believe me? Then check out the reviews. And if you still don't believe me, then I am forced to believe that you have no taste in good music.
