Free Music Notes for Broadway, My Way
Free Music Review: The Linda I Love!
Hit: 5 Stars
This album presents the best of Linda's Broadawy voice. When artists have big, beautiful voices, I love it when they actually USE them, and in this album, Linda does. She hits some of those extraordinarily high notes in songs like "Unusual Way" and "Man of la Mancha". She uses her big Broadway-style voice for most of the songs. I listened to this album with headphones, and boy oh boy, did it get loud at points. This artist can BELT IT OUT. Some of the songs (especially the better-known) are changed around a bit to fit Linda's style. "On the Street Where You Live" is slower with a jazzy/blues sort of feel. "Edelweiss" has a slow tempo, and Linda uses her breathy voice for part of it (but also hits some of those high notes).
I didn't recognize a lot of these songs, and I listen to a lot of Broadway. "On the Street Where You Live", "Some People", "Don't Rain on My Parade", "The Impossible Dream", and "Edelweiss" are some of the more well known songs. But even though I had never heard a lot of the songs, I enjoyed them immensely. Linda's absolutely beautiful, perfect, clear voice makes all of them worthwhile listening.
Overall, if you like Broadway, you will probably enjoy this album, which takes some well known Broadway songs and "re-does" them a bit, but still creates an enjoyable listen.

Once in a while an artist will put out an album that can make you stop dead in your tracks and say, "WOW!" With Linda Eder's latest album, Broadaway My Way, she has done exactly that... and then some! Linda's taken some of Broadway's best known, and some of the lesser known tunes and turned them into the compilation of a lifetime. She tackles such showstoppers as Some People, I Am What I Am and has even boldly gone where no one has gone before. Her nothing short of AMAZING rendition of Don't Rain on My Parade will have even die hard Streisand fans saying, "Barbra who?!?!" But Linda doesn't stop there. In keeping with the "Broadway HER Way" theme, Linda goes off into a whirlwind of songs usually done by men. The Impossible Dream, Anthem, and What Kind of Fool Am I? are just some of the songs in this album that Linda sings in her own inimitable style. Of course Eder does not neglect the songs created by her Husband/Composer, Frank Wildhorn. A New Life from Jekyll & Hyde which marked her Broadway debut, and Gold from the upcoming production of Camille Claudel are the songs that best demonstrate her incredible vocal talents. With this album, Linda Eder proves that Broadway can be done in many different ways, especially hers!Free Music Review: A return to form, bears up to repeated listening...

I've been a Linda fan for years and have everything except her first release. I introduced my wife to Linda a year or so ago, and she bought this one last month. We both like it much better than "Gold", although that one does not stink either. Frankly, I was afraid Linda would "belt" these songs beyond my liking, but I think she restrained herself and went up to that line, but did not cross it. Comparisons to Streisand are inevitable, but Linda and Barbra are not clones. I like them both. I enjoy "Anthem" and "On the Street Where You Live" and "A New Life" the most, but each listener will have his/her own favorites. We paid full price, we don't regret it, we'll play it a lot and we're glad to have it. Perhaps next time out she'll find a dozen or so new and unfamiliar songs to interpret, but she did not waste her talent or my money on "Broadway My Way." It was time to do it, and she can have pride in the result. And if, like me, you find Linda's looks appealing, note that the front cover has a sexy, elegant pose in color, but the final black and white photo inside the booklet, the pensive and non-sexy pose, is dynamite. The beauty within AND on the outside are both revealed in that one.Free Music Review: Broadway's Best - Linda Eder-style

Linda Eder - Broadway; She is what she Is! - Pure "Gold", the "Impossible Dream" comes true... Incredible as ever, fantastic, you HAVE to listen to, experience and feel the passion - there aren't words enough to do justice to what Linda Eder has done with this music and her incredibly gifted voice! She soars! There's no more comparing to Babs or Judy or anyone else - Linda Eder is in with the best of the best in her class. A review of Linda's second album, years ago was written up in the Streisand Fan Mag - "Like Butter" and it noted, can't get enough Babs - turn onto Linda Eder and her incredible voice. Well the time has come and people will say that of Linda. There has to be a follow up "Broadway - Volume II". The clearest voice, beautiful and sustained singing. Fantastic tribute to the composers and knock your socks-off orchestra! One minute powerful and over the top, the next, emotional, gentle and poetic - sentimental. Some old classics and standards, some original and new - ALL done as the very best! There is no comparison! Buy this one - you'll be glad you did. Linda Eder is intoxicating! Bravo! Encore! and, thank you Linda and Frank!Free Music Review: She's the best

I figure, Linda Eder must be at that level of creeping fame now where she is not only calling most of her own shots, but is also threatening all the fans out there worried about the relinquishing of Barbra's crown. Firstly, the album is incredible. Forget the criticisms (and if you're going to criticize publicly people, please check your spelling so that you don't come off the critic buffoon!). Linda can do just about anything with her voice, and this album exemplifies that. The arrangements are mostly breathtaking, appropriate, and originative when changes are made from the standard. Linda takes them to places that Barbra never could have. Linda Eder is not a one-dimensional singer: she creatively takes each song and charts a new course for it. She does not always belt, she does not always sound the same. She carves out just how she wants the song to be expressed- and she never misses (and no nasal- what a gift!!). If the existing fans of Ms. Streisand would stop feeling so threatened, perhaps they could move on and find another superordinate singer to slam on another web site. But I guess that would be tough, as there is no other Linda Eder.
