 Anne Murray Duets: Friends Legends August 9, 2008

The first five songs work OK, but the rest of the CD is blank. I am very disappointed in this item.

OK duets singing Anne's songs. Nothing new, but if you are a fan of Anne, then you will want to get this one.
 Anne Murray Duets -- One of the best CDs Ever July 15, 2008

If you're an Anne Murray fan, as I am, you're sure to love this CD. It truly exceeds my expectations. When I read the description, I thought it sounded really good, but Wow!! It is much better than just "good". It has to be one of THE BEST collections of beautiful music all in one place that I've ever heard!!!! The ladies Anne selected to sing with her here are awesome! I have several favorites--too many to name them all. I MUST, however, mention the duets with her daughter (Dawn Langstroth), with Celine Dion, and with the French Canadian singer Isabelle Boulay (in French). It doesn't get any better than that!!!! Please enjoy!!
Glad to hear her voice again. June 2, 2008
It was great to hear this wonderful lady again. She sounds as good as ever and those accompanying her add to the pleasure. If you like her, you'll want to get - no you should get - this CD.br /br /And if you're not familiar with her singing, you don't know what you're missing.br /Georgebr /br /br /br /br /br /br /br /br /br /br /br /s

As a lifelong fan, this album was a bit of a shocker the first time around. When you've heard these songs a thousand times, it takes a while to acclimate yourself to the re-makes. I might not have given it another listen if it hadn't been for my better half who loved this CD on first listening.br /br /Some of these duets are better than the originals. First of all, there's the enthusiastic pairing with Nelly Furtado on Daydream Believer. In the liner notes, Furtado confesses she sounds like a wailing cat, and she does, but it works. Then there's Another pot o' tea with Emmylou - beautifully arranged and executed. Jann Arden inspires Anne to deliver a dramatic vocal on Somebody's always saying goodbye. By far the best track is the duet with Shania Twain on You needed me, never one of my favorites, but this call and response version is the definitive one; both are in great voice. And believe it or not, the Snowbird duet with Sarah Brightman is a revelation. The perfect closing track is with Isabelle Boulay on Si jamais je te revois where the choir builds to a haunting crescendo.br /br /Honorable mention goes to Anne's duet with Olivia on Cotton Jenny. Though it doesn't improve on the original, it's great fun to hear these old pros sing together. Ditto for the pairing with Dusty Springfield. It's not one of the diva's better recordings, but Anne's harmony and Ramone's arrangement lift it to a higher level.br /br /Anne's voice is rougher these days and, sad to say, has lost its soft and lyrical tone. Unfortunately, on some of these songs, she's stuck with the lower harmony (read: A love song, with k.d. lang, whose absence in the liner notes is conspicuous) where the wear and tear is beginning to show. She's actually safer in the upper range where her pitch remains secure. I've read more than a time or two that her next album should be a compilation of duets with men. That's a great idea and I hope the producer will take advantage of the grittiness on display in her self-titled CD of 1996, the most rock oriented album in her catalog. Take that sound and pair it with country's (past and present) male stars and you can't lose.br /br /br /br /
