Free Music Review: Vikki's performances = great; the disc = something else
Hit: 3 Stars
First, the good: Vikki Carr is a woman with an amazing voice. She can be soft and tender or can belt it out like few others. She's also got a commanding sense of rhythm and a pure joy that emerges when she handles up tempo material -- check out her infectious "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive." It sounds like she was smiling when she was in the studio cutting the track. She's never less than fine on the songs here, and the best ones have some truly clever arrangements. "Surrey with the Fringe on the Top" is slowed down to a crawl as she plays with the words, while "Tears on my Pillow" and "It's Not Unusual" are both darkly shaded, allowing Carr to shine in all her torchy glory. "Call Me" is reworked into a sultry bossa nova in which Carr pokes fun at her Mexican-American heritage: "Dime, I'll make enchiladas" she croons as the song fades out.Now for the bad: With her enormous discography, why do so many of the same recordings keep appearing on all compilations of her Liberty material? Her early albums are brilliant, especially "Color Her Great," "Anatomy of Love" and both volumes of "Discovery." Those albums feature daring jazz arrangements, spectacular vocals and some wise song choices, including "May I Come In," "Moanin," "When in Rome," "Invitation," "I've Got Your Number," "Never Will I Marry" and the beatnik fave "Like Love." These early '60s recordings rival Barbra Streisand's as some of the most unusual and adventurous made by a female pop vocalist at the time. Yet the lion's share of those albums has yet to make it on CD, while "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me," "Unforgettable" and, of course, "Can't Take my Eyes Off You" keep appearing. Please, dig deeper into this talented woman's catalog and let these early gems resurface. It's about time they did.
