3 out of 5 stars Anne's Coming Out?   January 15, 2008
  33 out of 51 found this review helpful

A long-time fan of Anne Murray's (much to the bemusement of friends), I find this album somewhat of a curiosity. While the voices of Anne's partners generally mesh well with hers, it is odd that most of the songs are love duets between women. Hey, don't get me wrong, I believe you should live your life and be happy, but I do find some of the material simply doesn't work well with two women. Additionally, the arrangements lack freshness or any hint of surprise; songs adhere pretty much to their original style. I wish Ms. Murray would have produced an album of original tunes instead of this.


5 out of 5 stars This is an excellent disc of duets   January 15, 2008

I have been an Anne Murray fan all my life. I grew up listening to her music. I know most of the songs on here but not all of them. My favorite track is "You Needed Me". Anne and Shania Twain sing so well together. I also love her duet with KD Lang. They harmonize great so well on "A Little Love Song". Amother gem is the duet with the late great Dusty Springfield. "I Just Fall In Love Again" is a classic love song. "Snowbird" is a track that makes me feel happy. Sarah Brightman has such a pretty voice. Other tracks that stand out here are "Danny's Song" with Martina McBride and "Another Pot O' Tea" with Emmylou Harris. I never heard of the singer Isabelle Boulay, but she sings beautifully with Anne on the French song "Si Je Te Revois". The piano playing is lovely on this track. I have never heard the song "You Won't See Me", but it is very upbeat. I like the guitar playing here. I love the music of Anne Murray.


5 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece   January 15, 2008

This album was released in Canada in November, 2007. It's been selling quite well here. 'Croonin' has been my favorite Murray album since it's release, but this one has knocked it down a notch. I'm not sure who choses duet partners (if it's the artist or the label) but regardless, they've made a great choice here from the late Dusty Springfield to Shania Twain to Martina McBride etc etc. The greatest contrast is 'You Needed Me' with Shania. I believe this is Anne's 35th album and it's truly a great one. Some nice one on one liner notes with k d lang conspicuously absent. This disc sounds better every time you listen to it. Enjoy!
