 Something different from a legend Dec 05, 2009
I've been a fan of Betty Buckley since the 1980s. In my opinion, her voice is unparalled. I've seen her in concert a few times and she is AMAZING. I bought this CD recently after hearing her sing Dindi/How Insensitive. Her interpretation of this song was absolutely beautiful. I had to have it. The rest of the CD is just as magnificent. It's not the usual Broadway standards belted out with full voice. It's quiet and contemplative. But, she adds new life and meaning to some of my favorite old classics ("Stardust" and "Cry Me A River"), as well as songs by some of my favorite singer/songerwriter songs ("The Man I Use to Love" and "Get Here"). The sparse arrangements are perfect for her interpretations, and serve only to highlight that incredible voice. The only song I could do with out is the old standby, "Surrey with the Fringe On Top." But even that, she makes sound new. I highly recommend this CD if you love Betty Buckley, or love jazz.

 Betty Tries Too Hard on this one Sep 11, 2009
I am a true Betty Buckley fan but this CD was a disappointment. She tries too hard to be "cool jazz cabaret" and , at least for me , it doesn't work.

Please No More Dissonant Piano Backup! Jul 08, 2009
One of the very few less than perfect Betty Buckley albums. With a miraculous instrument and an ability to produce the definitive version of just about anything she sings, I am so disappointed that she chooses the dissonant backup arrangements (if that's the word- sounds more random than arranged) of Mr. Werner on a number of the songs. It's just irritating and I want to skip to the next track. She should stick to arrangements that will allow us to simply get lost in her interpretation of a song and not jar us with a discordant back up. She's better than this.

Betty Is Still The Cats Meow ! Apr 05, 2008
Whether Betty Buckley is singing Broadway tunes like "Something's Coming" from Westside Story and "The Surrey with The Fringe On Top" from Oklahoma or putting her own spin on such songs like "Cry Me A River", her voice truly remains one of the great wonders of the world! I would,personally, listen to her sing the alphabet. I love her that much! Betty and her arranger and pianist of almost 18 years,Kenny Werner, bring out the best in each other. She uses her rich,strong voice on each song to paint a very vivid picture. I highly recommend this cd. It is a very worthy listening experience.
