Free Music Notes for Hair (The New Broadway Cast Recording)
Free Music Review: Terrific Revival
Hit: 5 Stars
This first major revival of 1968's "Hair", since the short-lived bow in 1977, was absolutely terrific. A great cast. Full of energy. Really brings the audience into the show ... and feels very timely today.
The rock score, by MacDermot/Rado/Ragni, is chocked full of songs covered by major artists and were HUGE radio hits in 1968 & 1969. You just don't see that from a Broadway score these days. There are parts of the score, especially in Act II, which are not particularly strong, but terrific overall.
Best Tracks include:
Aquarius (The Fifth Dimension combined with "Let The Sunshine In" for #1 hit)
Donna
I Got Life
Going Down
Hair (The Cowsills took this to #2)
Easy To Be Hard (Three Dog Night took this to #4)
Where Do I Go?
Electric Blues
Black Boys - White Boys
Good Morning Starshine (Oliver took to #3)
The Flesh Failures/Let The Sunshine In (part of the Aquarius medley mentioned above)
Free Music Review: BETTER THAN ORIGINAL !!
Hit: 5 Stars
After experiencing the joy and energy of the show on Broadway in May, I was pleased to find that the album does an excellent job of capturing that excitement! I saw the original cast in 1969, but find this production and the CD to better capture the mood of 2009. Timeless it remains! Check out the cast performance at the Tony Awards on YouTube, especially Gavin Creel and Will Swenson. Buy the album and run to Broadway to see HAIR live!!Free Music Review: BE ENLIGHTENED, BE INSPIRED, "BE-IN!!!" AMAZING!!!

It's like words can't express how much this musical means to me! You must get it! You will never regret it! PEACE! LET THE SUNSHINE IN!Free Music Review: I love singing along with (most of) these songs!

After seeing Hair on Broadway in April, I couldn't wait for the official recording to come out. Listening to this CD takes me back to that fun, moving, memorable night in the theatre. I love singing along with (most of) these songs!Free Music Review: GREAT CD!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I was a little hesitant to buy the CD at first because I already had the older versions. However, the new Broadway cast changed the music so much and it is still just as AMAZING and worth hearing!!!! Great Buy! Buy it NOW!
