Free Music Notes for Tina (Eco)
Free Music Review: Tina! Not just a greatest hits CD
Hit: 4 Stars
I just saw Tina Turner in concert last night. It was an amazing performance! She sounded better than any recording of her music and at 68 years old, she can still shake a tail feather :) But the purpose of my post is to relay that the playlist of the CD follows the order of the songs she performs in her current concert tour. My only complaint is that they are the "same old" releases and not redone to show off her (still) great vocals.Free Music Review: Tina Turner For Beginners
Hit: 3 Stars
When it comes down the greats in the Diva Hall Of Fame, there are very few that really have withstood the test of time. Most of us really right now think of recent divas like the wannabes like Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, and The Pussycat Dolls. But with all those, it is such a shame that those legends are right now forgotten about like Cher, and Linda Rondstadt. But, that is sadly the case with Tina Turner too. Nevertheless, she still shows that her voice is a defying knockout that makes it worth while. Her songs for over 50 years have still kept fans buzzing, whether it has been on her own, or with her ex-husband Ike, many have enjoyed Tina's everywoman spirit. Now that she is also heading back on the touring to celebrate her golden anniversary, another greatest hits collection has been released, but is it worth the value of her sex appeal.
Tina!, the 2008 Tina Turner greatest hits collection, is a single disc collection that tries to highlight Tina Turner through her 6 decades of making great music. While the collection doesn't really offer much worth while to hard core fans, but fairs as a simple reintroduction to her music to a new generation. The collection of songs have all been remastered nicely, and includes Tina's biggest hits including her 1984 anthem What's Love Got To Do With It, Private Dancer, and I Don't Wanna Fight, as well as her hits from her era with Ike Turner on Proud Mary. The collection also includes a few new tracks, I'm Ready and Is It A Crime, that feel a bit weak, compared to Tina's distinctive classics. Not only that, but the collection overshadow music from Tina's last 2 albums, 2000's Twenty-Four Seven and 1995's Wildest Dreams. So, die hard fans might feel a bit dissapointed that great songs like Missing you, When The Heartache Is Over and Whatever You Want aren't here. Not only that, but I was also shocked that her big hit duet with Bryan Adams from 1985, It's Only Love also was overlooked on this collection too.
All in all, despite a few overlooked songs, Tina! isn't a bad collection for anyone who hasn't yet heard a great Tina Turner song, but doesn't stand out to be completely as definitive to hard core fans, as was the case with 2005's All The Best (double album edition). If you are new to Tina's music, this is a welcomed sampler that fairs well to your CD library and your MP3 Player.

Free Music Review: ANOTHER Greatest Hits CD Needs More Rarities.
Hit: 2 Stars
When I saw that Tina was set to tour again, my hope was that there would be a new album of songs. My fear was that Capitol would do yet another greatest hits CD. That's what we got here. It's good for the 2 new songs, I'M READY , which rocks, and IT WOULD BE A CRIME, which is good too. As for the other added bonus type tracks not on any other Tina CD, there are 2 nicely rearranged live in concert versions from 1999 of LET'S STAY TOGETHER and I CAN'T STAND THE RAIN that are a pleasant surprise to hear this way. And lo and behold, they dug up a real rarity, the soundtrack version from the film " TOMMY " of Tina's version of THE ACID QUEEN, which is something new to have on a Tina hits CD [ and a different version than on her " ACID QUEEN " 1975 solo album ].
But overall, I wish that this was a RARITIES release. What's the point with dragging up the hits yet again? It was done just a couple years ago with the far superior ALL THE BEST, then the one disc ALL THE BEST-THE HITS. And don't forget her best-selling SIMPLY THE BEST from 1991, the McDonalds promotion CD , GREATEST HITS from 1994, and the box set SIXTIES TO NINETIES. Geez, the greatest hits have been done to death! And still ONE OF THE LIVING from " MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME " has not made any of these greatest hits CD's. It charted at #15, the video was shown all over the place, and yet it's only on the soundtrack CD, and the scarce promotional 1993 Tina hits compilation PLAY THIS IN STORE. Tina must really hate ONE OF THE LIVING as it has not been on any CD since it's original release. Too bad, as it's a great recording that won her a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance, Female.
I would have loved a RARITIES CD, and it would have collected the many non-LP tracks, B-sides, and soundtrack songs. Here's what I would have loved to have seen : THE GAME OF LOVE [ with Santana ], TAKE ME TO THE RIVER, HAVIN' A PARTY, STRONGER THAN THE WIND, BOLD AND RECKLESS, HE LIVES IN YOU, BABY I'M A STAR, LOVE IS A BEAUTIFUL THING, DO SOMETHING, SHAKE A TAIL FEATHER, TINA'S WISH, BREAK EVERY RULE [ Single Remix ], and AFTERGLOW [ Remix ]. Such a selection of songs would have been new to many people, and would have collected all of these odds and ends into a really nice collection. If we couldn't have had a whole new album of songs, that would have been the next best thing. Oh well, just my view that's it's the hits yet again, with 2 new songs, and a few rarities. This could have been a much better CD with more research and some ideas than recycling the hits again. I read that Tina's set list for the new tour basically follows the order of the tracks on this CD. So, it's like a " souvenir " of the concert.
Free Music Review: AGAIN !?!?!?!?
Hit: 2 Stars
Again a greatest hits??? How many compilations does EMI and Roger Davies Management expect us to buy. It's time to release new material or retire gracefully. How many times more do we have to see "What's Love got to do with it?" released on CD. It has appeared until now on 8 Capitol Records releases!!!
2 stars for the two new songs... "I'm ready" is great!
Don't buy the album, just buy the 2 new tracks.
Free Music Review: A bit Disappointed
Hit: 2 Stars
I did not attend her most recent concert, and I usually feel that adds to the flavor of the CD. As such, I was a bit disappointed with this CD. Her voice wasn't in best form, but she is 68, and looks so amazing! The songs did not have interesting background and I thought little was added to prior renditions of her music.
