Free Music Notes for Hummin' to MyselfFree Music Review: SEXY, JAZZY, AND I CAN'T STOP HUMMIN' Hit: 5 StarsThis is a MUST HAVE for the Linda Ronstadt fan. As time goes on she keeps re-inventing herself, and I love it! If I was a rich man I would tell you to buy this CD, and if you did not like it I would pay for it, but you will just have to trust me. Thank you Linda.
Free Music Review: What do Ronstadt, Feinstein, Stewarat, Manilow, Midler, & Tenille have in common Hit: 1 StarsThey all tried to save dying pop/rock careers by singing jazz standards, and beleive you me, none of them are up to standard, fot singing standards. You 1st need a atural sense of swing ehich of all of them only Midler has somewhat naturally. Manilow and Feinstein are the worst, for thier lack of rhythm and imagination. Stewart is the flat out worst all around,Tenille just stinks, Ronstadt is second best after Midler, even though she sounds nothing like a pro at lest while singing classics like the title song. She propablty should do another album of mariachis, for gringos who won't know the difference between her and Ana Gabriel. Skip any of her standard albums, and buy the original 50's artists.
Free Music Review: Keep hummin' standards instead of recording them Hit: 1 StarsHonestly Ronstadt was ok in her 60's rock genere singing Blue Bayou, and Your No Good(which was harmless to thoise of us who don't give a hoot about rock), but that last song sums up what she is at singing jazz standards NO GOOD. However when Ronstadt decided to try the stuff Ella, Frank, and Billie once recorded, it just made her sound immature and ametuerish. I am not influenced by but a respected and a NO BS jazz critic by the nbame of Will Friedwald shares my views and so does any serious jazz listener. So please stop buying Rod Stewart albums, pop singers were meant to sing pop and jazz is not a last career saving option but an art that is meant for true talant not pure commercialism.
Free Music Review: Linda -- what have you done? Hit: 2 StarsThis is definately NOT the Linda Ronstadt that I have loved listening to for the past 30 years! I have been a Ronstadt fan since the early 70s. Loved her Nelson Riddle big band stuff, her Tucson Sessions album with Emmylou Harris, and just picked up her "Frenesi" album and love it too. But this... This is definately not the album to showcase her vocal talents. I could not even finish listening to it. The last CD I will buy without previewing the songs first. Skip it.
Free Music Review: More like Keep to Yourself Hit: 2 StarsI have been a Ronstadt fan since the early 70's, and although the Nelson Riddle stage and the Mexican stage were not my style, I still loved her vocal perfection. This is truly the only album I haven't played more than twice (I didn't like it the first time, which surprised me, so I tried it again). It doesn't showcase her voice or her talents. The songs are very ho hum. Linda, put out a Christmas album (been waiting for years), and try to get sweetness back for this old fan.
