Tom Petty's love affair with the more pop-oriented output of the Byrds and Dylan at their mid-'60s prime continued to find an increasingly wide audience in the '80s--and damned if some people didn't persist in calling it "new wave." Go figure. If writing hook-laden, instantly memorable pop-rock songs was both a sign of genius and one of music's toughest feats, Hard Promises (and its FM evergreens, "The Waiting" and "A Woman in Love") confirmed that Petty was one skinny, little, hard-working prodigy. Picking up effortlessly where Damn the Torpedoes left off, Petty and the equally conscientious Heartbreakers took nothing about their newfound fame for granted, delivering their fourth strong effort in a row, this one increasingly seasoned with touches of their Southern roots. The title hints at the tough underbelly beneath the jangly veneer of Petty's ever-accessible songwriting, exemplified here by "Nightwatchman," "Something Big," and "The Criminal Kind." All tracks on this edition have been upgraded via digital remastering, and the album's original inner artwork and lyrics have also been restored. --Jerry McCulley

EARLY CLASSIC.......2007-07-24

TOM PETTY'S SOUND HAS EVOLVED THROUGH THE YEARS AND SUCH IS THE OVERALL QUALITY OF HIS WORK THAT HE HAS ONE OF THE BEST BACK CATALOGUES IN MUSIC.
'THE WAITING 'DEFINES HIS CLASSIC SOUND.I DISCOVERED TOM PETTY'S MUSIC THROUGH HIS ASSOCIATION WITH DEL SHANNON.HE'S A TRUE AMERICAN ORIGINAL.THIS ALBUM IS ONE OF HIS BEST.DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND INVEST IN A COPY.

Another Masterpiece From A Righteous Rocker.......2007-04-22

HARD PROMISES is yet another masterpiece by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, featuring such great FM standards as "The Waiting" and "A Woman In Love (And It's Not Me)", as well as such forgotten gems as "Letting You Go" and "King's Road." This CD features great remastering, greatly emphasizing a style whose inflences run the gamut from the Allman Brothers And The Outlaws to the Eagles and the Steve Miller Band to Springsteen, Seger, and the Band. Petty's advocacy of sanctions against Indonesia in retaliation for that country's trumped-up 2005 drug-smuggling conviction of a young Australian tourist makes HARD PROMISES an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.

HIS FINEST WORK!.......2006-07-05

I have been into Petty since day one and I can honestly say that this is the one. Every band has that one album that is brilliant. Torpedos came close, but this is it. Best song in my opinion is Kings Road. A close second is Something Big. Other noteworthy tracks (I mean classics) are

The Waiting
A Woman In Love
Letting You Go
A Thing About You
Insider

If you've heard Petty over the years and haven't purchased anything. Don't start with the best of collections. Start right here. It doesn't get any better.

A TRUE Classic !!!.......2005-12-30

This is, without a doubt, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' finest moment! I can still remember the battle he had with the record company over the pricing of this album! Due to the rise in oil prices (a main ingredient used to press vinyl albums), the record companies raised the standard list-price of an album from $7.98 to $8.98. TP fought his record company, going as far as threatening to name this album "$7.98"! Finally, the record company relented and priced the album at $7.98, thus allowing "Hard Promises" to be released to the masses! In addition to the classics "The Waiting", "Woman In Love (It's Not Me)" and "A Thing About You", also included is arguably the best TP & THB recorded song: "Something Big". BUY THIS DISC NOW!!!!!

Hard Promises (1981).......2005-10-09

While two years came between Damn the Torpedoes and Hard Promises, Hard Promises tends to be the weakest entry in Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers catalog so far. There are classic Petty tunes here like The Waiting and Insider, but much of the filler is weaker than it had been on previous albums. Songs like Nightwatchman tend to be rather goofy to me. Hard Promises is still a worthwhile edition to your Tom Petty collection, but it is just not as good as the albums that came before it.

Another great CD!!.......2007-06-08

It is always great when you hear a musician with such a unique style and beautiful voice. Highly recommended!

promises, promises.......2007-05-27

I saw this CD advertised in the windows of several record stores in Amsterdam. Bruni is a model-turned-singer, and here she's interpreting poetry as music. It comes across nicely, in chanteuse style...nice, light, and enjoyable. Great music for a dinner party, methinks.

Poetry in music for folk guitars and smoky, sultry voice........2007-03-03

Auden and Yeats are among the finest English-language poets of the 19th and 20th centuries, endowed with rare insight and sensitivity.
Now W. H. Auden, W. B. Yeats and several others have taken on an unlikely new guise.
Their poems -- along with those by two other Britons, Walter de la Mare and Christina Rossetti, and two Americans, Dorothy Parker and Emily Dickinson -- are likely to enter the Top Ten in Europe.
Four years after her debut album after her first album, "Quelqu'un m'a dit" (Someone told me), which sold two million copies, Carla Bruni, the Italian former fashion supermodel offers a collection of music and poetry : 11 beautiful poems set to Carla Bruni's inspired melodies.
She gives a real personal interpretation of these poems with romanticism, melancholy which form a feeling of loneliness.
The album, "No Promises", has divided music critics between supporters hailing a new departure for Europop and detractors perplexed by haunting English verse half-sung and half-spoken in a sensual voice accompanied by folk guitars.
Although the writers have been set to music before -- the composer Benjamin Britten collaborated with Auden, and the singer Joni Mitchell has drawn on Yeats's verse, for example -- Bruni's work is a novelty.
In France , some newspapers wrote rave revues.
I personally like it.
It's different,it's delicate, it's elegant.
Have your say !

Can't Get Enough Norah Jones? Try Some Carla Bruni.......2007-03-01

This popular French/Italian singer delivers her first English language CD and it is a beauty, setting some American and British poetry to music in a manner in which the most accurate description is "simply lovely." With a honey-smoked voice like a young Marianne Faithfull, the songs exude a peaceful mood like being the last couple on the dancefloor in the backyard of a Southern mansion on a magnolia-scented sultry summer's night. The soulful, languid vocals build up a momentum as the CD moves along and, as a whole, are a lot less sleepy than Norah's latest effort. Try "I Felt My Life with Both My Hands," "Promises Like Pie-Crust," "If You Were Coming In The Fall," "Ballade at the Thirty-Five" and "At Last The Secret Is Out" and taste the musical delicacy that is Carla Bruni.

Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

His best!.......2007-04-12

Delightful, insightful, a pure joy to listen to and sing along with. Pay close attention to the lyrics of the title song. It is prophetic and he didn't even realize it. "When the cities start to crumble, and the towers fall around us"

Poems, Prayers and Promises.......2007-04-11

Catching up on what I missed when he was alive, still beautiful music!

A Classic.......2006-04-13

My exposure to this album came "back in the day;" in my boyhood, somewhere around 1973, when a second-hand vinyl LP came into my possession. By this time John Denver had become quite popular, so some of the songs were already familiar. It was the lessr-knowns that grabbed my heartstrings then, and still hold onto them today.

The cover of James Taylor's "Fire and Rain" leaves the original standing in the shade. The stripped down arrangement and pregnant pauses invest the tune with a raw emotional power that the original's production job seemed to lack in comparison. The song has stayed with me and held me all of these years. As a musician myself, I revisit it from time to time, usually when I'm feeling down, for the second verse is a prayer. Certainly, there aer other highlights to this album, but this one's the high-water mark for me.

Denver's original songs, whether solo or accompanied by group arrangements, reflect a generational idealism in song, and may be seen as inspiraton for the outdoor lifestyle and conservation movements; "Guess He'd Rather Be in Colorado" would be my case-in-point. The pacifist movement was also represented on this album in a rather unusual fashion with the spoken-word, "The Box," a powerful anti-war poem that is all-too-applicable in today's times. The acoustic cover of the Beatles' "Let It Be" also stands out. While not eclipsing the original, it is nonetheless a testament to what John Denver was all about, and it fits perfectly with the rest of the material.

"My Sweet Lady" is one of the most tender love songs you'll ever hear. The title track deserved more than it got, in terms of being a hit. Its words perhaps sum up what John Denver really meant to a generation, depite becoming somewhat of an un-hip cliche to many in his later years:

talk of poems and prayers and promises
And things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone
How right it is to care
How long it's been since yesterday
What about tomorrow
What about our dreams
And all the memories we share


Thanks for what you've given us, John. The world needs more like you.

As for those who would consider this album for purchase, I can assert that it's likely the most definitive original album by this artist, and if you only buy one of his albums, this is THE one to get.

The Box.......2006-02-11

I dont know about any one else but I have been trying to find this for a very very long time. I had it once on tape and didnt realize it. I was listening to a john denver tape one day and THE BOX came on. oh my god its so moving. I lost it over the years while moving accross country. and now I have found it again. I thought maybe it was just someting he put on a recorded tape never to be heard again. I just wanted to share with you all this is the best thing on this entire alblum.

John Denver takes the Country Road to his big breakout album in 1971.......2005-08-22

I have been listening to the first John Denver hits collection for so long, the one where he went back into the studio and re-recorded some of his older songs, that listening to the original version of "Poems, Prayers & Promises" was rather strange. But it serves as a reminder of the simple start of his career before he became the most popular singer-songwriter in the country. In fact, the first concert I ever went to was a John Denver concert and to this day whenever I drive in the mountains I put on his music as my soundtrack while driving.

This 1971 album was John Denver's big breakthrough because of the single "Take Me Home, Country Roads" (co-written with Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert), but it is clearly the other original Denver songs that give this album substance. I think the title track is one of Denver's two best original songs ("Rhymes And Reasons" is the other, mainly because I can never really think of "Leaving on a Jet Plane" as being a John Denver song rather than a Peter, Paul & Mary song), and he also wrote "My Sweet Lady," "Wooden Indian," "I Guess He'd Rather Be in Colorado," "Sunshine on My Shoulders," and "Around and Around." So it was interesting to me in retrospect that when "Take Me Home, Country Roads" climbed all the way to #2 on the Billboard singles chart, that what we think of now as the John Denver persona was fully established. He might have been a country singer, but he was singing of the high country of Colorado's mountains and that made him standout.

The other thing that surprises me about these early John Denver albums is how often he covered Beatles songs. On previous albums he covered "When I'm Sixty-Four," "Eleanor Rigby," and even "Golden Slumbers." On this one he not only does "Let It Be" but Paul McCartney's "Junk." Some of these work better than others, with the two on this album would be in that camp, and I cannot help but look at such efforts as indicative of Denver's ambitions as a songwriter. He also does an excellent cover of James Taylor's "Fire and Rain." However, the most surprising track has to be the last one, where Denver recites Abercrombie Lascelles's anti-war poem, "The Box." Such sentiments seem almost out of place on this album given the rest of these songs, but clearly Denver wanted to end with those words in the mind of his audience. Then again, as an example of protest "The Box" is a generic anti-war song and is not specific to the War in Vietnam. So the selection was not an impediment at that time to Denver becoming the most popular singer in the country.

In the late '90s, Burt Bacharach--thanks to a boxed set, new collaborations, and numerous reissues--just keeps popping up. And for good reason: his music is nostalgic, filled with great melodies, and instantly recognizable. For many, he's the essence of pop. Promises, Promises, the composer's 1968 Broadway collaboration with lyricist Hal David, is based on the 1960 Billy Wilder film, The Apartment, written by Neil Simon. Jerry Orbach's performance as Chuck Baxter is powerful (it also won him a Tony Award), and though some of the music in Promises, Promises is dated, it's simply infectious. As Fran Kubelik, Jill O'Hara (Hair) performs reflective numbers such as "Whoever You Are" and "I'll Never Fall in Love Again." Bacharach's title theme (a hit for Dionne Warwick) sounds better than ever here--both performed instrumentally and sung by Orbach. At 45 minutes, it's a short listen, but for fans of Bacharach or Broadway, it's highly recommended. --Jason Verlinde

Ton of Fun.......2007-03-06

This musical is unique in the Broadway literature, having been written by Burt Bachrach and Hal David. Bachrach was the king of pop composers in his time, and he assembled a score that still is infectious and listenable. Almost all of the songs in this score truly advance the plot and help to further define the characters.

I'm sorry that I can't be as generous in my assessment of the singing, particularly that of the late Jerry Orbach. Don't get me wrong...he sings with great energy and characterization, but his intonation is quite sketchy in several numbers. He does shine in "Half as Big as Life", but sort of goes downhill from there. Jill O'Hara has a voice that may be polarizing to several listeners. Her style and aesthetic fit very well with the aesthetic of the late 60's and early 70's. It's sort of a Joni Mitchell meets Minnie Mouse sound. She has her own intonation issues.

But, there are several great moments. The pit orchestra was just fabulous, as were the offstage female voices. The production was very well conducted. The ensemble plays in a very relaxed, jazzy style, but they are always on top of the beat. The solo trumpet was worth whatever they payed. The music in general is outstanding, particularly the overture.

Despite the intonation issues, the cast does bring great energy to the production numbers. Jill O'Hara's ballads ("Knowing When to Leave" and "Whoever You Are") are showstoppers. Orbach's "Half as Big as Life" and "She Likes Basketball" were energetic and fun. His duet with Marian Mercer ("A Fact Can Be a Beautiful Thing") will make you smile. Edward Winter's ballad ("Wanting Things") was poignant and well-sung. "Where Can You Take a Girl?", sung by the four Coastal Life execs, was snappy, brisk, and funny. I would have liked to have seen it done live.

In the end, music is not about perfect. It is about performances that touch you, and that are genuine. That's why this CD is a good addition to your collection.

Highly recommended.

Burt : Please return to Broadway.......2007-01-03

One of the better scores from a 60's musical.

Promises, Promises Original Cast CD.......2006-11-10

It's nice to have this lively Burt Bacharach score on a CD. I was the show back in 1969, and listening to the CD brought back memories of a good time in the theatre.

a stunner of a score.......2006-10-13

PROMISES PROMISES was based on the popular Billy Wilder film "The Apartment", jazzed up with an energetic score from Burt Bacharach and Hal David (their sole musical theatre effort).

The story concerns a meek young man called Chuck Baxter (played by Jerry Orbach), whose working relationship with his boss, J.D. Sheldrake, is tempered by his infatuation with J.D.'s mistress, Fran Kubelik (Jill O'Hara). The story was quite grim and pessimistic in "The Apartment" with a bittersweet Wilder/I.A.L. Diamond screenplay, but the subsequent PROMISES PROMISES featured a new book from Neil Simon (still riding high on his successful and long-running "Barefoot in the Park" and "The Odd Couple"), and the story was prettied-up for the Broadway musical stage. The overall tone and shape of the original story remained but certain areas were streamlined and adapted around the Bacharach/David score.

And what a score it is! It's almost criminal that a score can be so enjoyable. PROMISES PROMISES is filled to the rafters with memorable melodies, and performed so perfectly by a company headed by Jerry Orbach and Jill O'Hara. O'Hara definitely has the classic 'Bacharach voice', an instrument ideally suited to his jangling melodies and inward ballads. "Knowing When to Leave" and the wrenching 11 o'clocker "Whoever You Are", are given definitive readings. Orbach joins Marian Mercer for the fun "A Fact Can Be a Beautiful Thing". Edward Winter, playing Chuck's conflicted boss J.D. Sheldrake, scores heavily with "Wanting Things". Bacharach's dance arrangement for the "Grapes of Roth" sequence is inspired. Which brings us to the choreography...

PROMISES PROMISES featured routines from the then up-and-coming choreographer extraordinaire Michael Bennett; and his future "Chorus Line" stars Donna McKechnie and Baayork Lee lead the manic dance number "Turkey Lurkey Time". McKechnie (playing Vivien Della Hoya) would be the only cast member to reprise her role in the subsequent London production starring Betty Buckley and Tony Roberts. Incidentally (and quite controversially), PROMISES PROMISES was the first Broadway musical to employ the use of body-microphones (at the request of Bacharach who wanted the vocals and orchestra mixed perfectly). Right or wrong, a new era was dawning for musical theatre, and PROMISES PROMISES was at the very forefront. The show opened and ran for 1,281 performances at the Shubert Theatre.

Following a brief CD release from Rykodisc, the good people at Varese Sarabande have reissued the original 1968 Broadway cast album (in beautiful remastered sound) for a new generation to savour.

Great '60s sound!.......2005-09-23

It's really great to have this cast recording available again! And so appropriate, given the passing of Jerry Orbach, that one of his best performances can again be purchased.

When I think of the sounds of the 1960s, the Beatles and the Beach Boys come immediately to mind. BUT - the music of Bert Bacharach (often with the wonderfully honest and unsentimental lyrics of Hal David) is almost the "official" soundtrack for the period of the second half of that decade. Promises, Promises is a snapshot of that time, when corporate life was almost exclusively dominated by men, sexual liberation was coming on fast, and New York was (or thought it was) the cultural center of America. With this outstanding Broadway cast recording, you can't go wrong! Great to be able to stop playing my sadly worn vinyl LP!

It's no coincidence that UB40's biggest hits and most pleasurable songs have been their reggae-rock remakes of other acts' songs--Neil Diamond's "Red Red Wine," Sonny and Cher's "I Got You Babe," the Chi- Lites' "Homely Girl," Bob Dylan's "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight," and so on. Only 1 of the 11 numbers on Promises and Lies is a cover tune, but the band's remake of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love" is a real treat. Featured in the film Sliver, the ballad gets a new momentum from UB40's horns and rhythm section and finds its obsessive quality reinforced by the reggae-dub echoes. The album also includes "Reggae Music," a delightful dancehall workout which neatly balances Astro's reggae toasting against Ali and Robin Campbell's sweetly sung pop-soul hook. Unfortunately, the other 9 songs are full of steady grooves and admirable sentiments but little in the way of melody or fresh ideas that might separate them from hundreds of similar reggae exercises. --Geoffrey Himes

Customer Reviews:

Must own UB40 album.......2007-03-16

This is a 5 star UB40 album and all the songs are good, but also catchy. Unlike most or previous UB40 albums this is not a cover album, which means they wrote all the songs themselves accept for "I can't Stop Falling in love with you." My favorite song is "Bring me a Cup". This album never gets old and is totally feel good reggae music the way only UB40 can produce. Buy now you won't be disappointed.

A Couple Of Really Good Tracks.......2005-08-07

I don't like some of the songs on this album. I bought it for Can't Help Falling In Love. Now you can get Red Red Wine AND Can't Help Falling In Love on UB40's new The Very Best of UB40 album. Go figure.

Great music.......2002-02-23

I saw UB40 at the Greek Theatre about the time this CD was first released. Listening to this CD brings back the memories of those times. "Higher Ground" and "Can't Help Falling in Love" are the hits that bring back the most memories. This is one of those CDs I play time and time again.

UB40's best studio effort (ever).......2001-03-04

I'm a big UB40 fan and I can easily say this album represents the best of their studio work. The band has been haunted by the commercial success of their cover hits but this album clearly demonstrates that they can write and arrange great original work. "Things ain't like they used to be" is one of the best UB40 singles never released. Other standouts include "Promises and Lies", C'est Levie", "Higher Ground" and the two last tracks. Overall, one of the 90's most underrated classics.

UB40 and Regaee....Regaee and UB40, what a combination!!!!.......1998-12-01

Well well, here is one more great album from UB40. They have been rocking since the 80's, and they're still giving regaee a powerful new meaning. Most brilliant lyrics I've come across since Bob Marley and Ziggy Marley.

Two classics of her late 60s pop era!.......2007-05-23

Dionne, one of the greatest singers, ever. She makes a piece of easy-listening fluff into an emotional experience, finding the grit and soul of the lyrics and interpreting in her inimitable style, her flawless timing and phrasing.

These are two of my fave Dionne LPs ever, and to find them remastered and paired on a limited edition.... I thought I was dreaming. Rhino has gone all out, packaging, sound, everything.

I know a lot of people prefer the earlier Bacharach stuff, or her later 70s stuff, citing this as easy listening. Nonsense. It's great stuff, and she does Bacharach like no one else could or ever will.

A shame there will be no more in this series.... I was praying for a double-set of Here Where There Is Love and Her I Am.

Splendorous Dionne in two of her best albums.......2007-01-03

One of the most original voices and smartest phrasings I have ever heard on popular music. Her repertoire takes the best and the worst from Bacharach & David team along with some other authors.

'Promises, Promises' is the real pearl in this package, the title song is simply brilliant Bacharach-David at their best, and Bacharach's arrangement is pure fire. Also Bacharach-David's originals 'Who Is Gonna Love Me', and 'Whoever You Are I Love You' and pure gems with beautiful Bacharach's arrangements.

There are also some pearls from the original 'I'll Never Fall in Love Again' album and these include the title song as arranged in a collaboration of Burt Bacharach with Larry Wilcox and the single version of the pretty song 'Paper Maché'.

Great arrangers are also present in the package along with Burt Bacharach. Features Peter Matz arranging 'Little Green Apples', the sensational 'Where Am I Going', and the great Armando Manzanero's song 'Yesterday I Heard The Rain' (English version to 'Esta Tarde Vi Llover').

Also features arrangements by the great Don Sebesky on' This Guy's in Love With You', 'Where is Love' and the great Bacharach-David original 'Wanting Things'.

Simply Breath Taking.......2006-07-18

Included here are two of Dionne's original LP's and what a pair they make. Although not a huge fan of the "Promises, Promises" album (with the exception of the title track, This Girl's in Love With You, and Little Green Apples)this album still a huge showcase of this lady's talent. The second album, "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" is one of my personal favorites. The lead track "The Wine is Young" is simply awe inspiring and this awe grows with each song on this second album. Simply put a MUST HAVE for any fan of Ms. Warwick or just plain GREAT music. I also congratulate the studio for their wonderful photos and liner notes which really provide the inside track on these albums. Now stop reading this and go treat yourself with this purchase!

The cream of the crop.......2004-07-23

No one but no one did (or does) Bacharach/David music like Ms. Dionne Warwick. This remastered set of albums from 1968-1969 captures the songwriters at their creative peak, and Dionne at the apex of her vocal and interpretive powers.

There are also covers of popular songs of the day such as "Where Am I Going" and "Didn't We" that are superb. If Dionne isn't the Queen of Champagne Soul, I don't know who is. This is lounge music at its finest.

In addition to the brilliant packaging and wonderful liner notes by David Nathan, there are additional bonus tracks that did not appear on the original releases and a ton of rare photos.

The remastering is beyond description -- these recordings sound brand new; crisp, clean, no air/hiss...just magnificent.

This set of music is achingly beautiful. Each song here epitomizes the classic "Dionne Warwick sound," that brand of romantic melodies and arrangements that are sweetly melancholy. Hats off to Rhino for making these classics available again, even if only for a limited time. You owe yourself a copy.

Superb!!!!!.......2004-07-14

Bravo! Rhino does it again. Excellent remastering and a fine compilation. There will be 5 thousand happy people in this world because this record is fantastic and they know that nobody else will be able to buy this record cause Rhino only printed 5000 of them. It is almost too late.

Broadway veteran Liz Callaway (most famous for her five-year stint as Grizabella in Cats on Broadway in the late '90s) fills her second solo album with lesser-known tunes, a number of them covering moments in her career. Her lovely soprano can break your heart with the ballad "Since You Stayed Here" then thrill you with the showstopper "The Story Goes On" from Baby (which earned her a Tony nomination). The emotional heart of the album is "Meadowlark," Stephen Schwartz's wondrous tale of risk and heartbreak that proves a particularly glorious marriage with Callaway's voice. In a savvy bit of programming, that peak is followed by the deliciously langorous "Sleepy Man." Callaway's sister, jazz/cabaret singer Ann Hampton Callaway, makes a guest appearance in Stephen Sondheim's powerful "Our Time," a teaser of the sisters' live collaboration. Of Varese Sarabande's many albums spotlighting Broadway singers, The Story Goes On is one of their absolute best. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews:

Y'all are crazy!.......2006-11-03

The Billy Porter duet is one of the most unique and thrilling songs on the cd. What a fantastic re-invention of that song. And their voices by themselves and together are glorious. Its all personal taste and by no means is that the only good song. Its probably THE best solo cd by a broadway artist. Incredible!

Liz Callaway Goes On..........2006-05-02

Liz Callaway has one of the most enthralling voices around. Her voice is melodious and very soothing and especially shines in soft and subdued ballads. She doesn't have a big voice but she has an amazing range and sense of melody.

She opens the album with a strong rendition of "You There in the Back Row" a song I'm not familiar with but has grown to love. The next track "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of my Hair" lacks the spunk and bite that I think the song should have, and the arrangement felt out of place in the album.

She had a touching and moving rendition of `Since You Stayed Here". I'm not familiar with the musical Brownstone but this song made me want to check out the musical. It's about someone forced to become a stronger person after a breakup or some sort, that you wouldn't recognize it's the same person. I really love this song and Liz captured the strength as well as the sadness of the song.

Another standout is her now trademark version of "Meadowlark". The story of the meadowlark was a metaphor that convinced the character to the important decision she made in leaving her husband for another man. This is a really powerful song and truly Liz Callaway soared in this song. "Sleepy Man" was another notable track. This is probably the song that fits Liz Callaway's voice most perfectly. It was very sweet and really really soothing in the ears. This is one of my favorite tracks.

"Stop Time" is a song about the inexplicable combination of joy and sadness of watching your child grow up. It was a tender rendition that ends with a beautiful subdued last note. This woman knows how to end a song.

Once I got passed the cheesiness of the arrangement of "One Boy", I enjoyed it. It's old fashioned but it's still good. Liz then made an updated rendition of "The Story Goes On" from her show "Baby" This song was about a mother-to-be finally realizing the beauty and magic of carrying a child after she felt the child's first kick. I prefer the stronger arrangement of the song in this album compared to the Baby Cast Recording, but the innocence of that earlier rendition still resonates.

She ended the album with a beautiful rendition of "A Place Called Home". I first heard this song in one of Lea Salonga's concerts and I fell in love with this song. Her last note was very touching and melodiously and heartbreakingly romantic.

Grade= A

Liz Callaway SOARS!.......2005-06-27

Wow! I love this cd! I went to a camp in Decatur, Illinois called Showchoir Camps of America. One night, as our evening entertainment, she performed this entire album!! That afternoon Ms. Liz came for a question and answer session with Phil Reno. She is such a down to earth person and sooo very talented! At the concert, I started to cry! During one song, Ms. Liz forgot the words to a song ( actually, I forgot what the song was called!), so she just made up some words to it!! If you want a TRUELY talented performer, Liz Callaway is the one for you!

....Love this album too!.......2004-08-18

I love this album. There are a few songs I kinda skip, because it was just weird. That song being "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of my Hair", weird. I loved the duet "Where is Love" from the musical Oliver. "Stop,Time" from the musical BIG (grab your puffs!). I enjoyed the 50's sounding "One Boy!" from Bye,Bye Birdie. Liz has a wonderful range, and flattering childish tone to her voice, reaching notes that would take me years of training to ever reach again! She has complied all these exciting songs and ends the album with "A Place Called Home", from A Christmas Carol. I could never give her enough praise. If you like Strisand, and Sintra, you'll love her too! :-) Liz is always shinning when she sings! Enjoy!

Unknown Talent Sings Unknown and Known Broadway Songs.......2003-06-10

... I thought I recognized the voice but I couldn't quite place it. I finally realized that she was the singing voice of Anastacia in the animated movie. Meg Ryan was the speaking voice. Liz Callaway has one of the clearest voices I have ever heard and also a very strong voice. I love her rendition of Knowing When to Leave/Promises, Promises by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Great arrangements. Dionne Warwick, who I am also a fan of covered Promises, and the Carpenters sang a version of Knowing When to Leave. I'm also a Carpenters' fan. On this album all the songs are Broadway. Many I hadn't heard before but love now due to Liz. The first song, You There in the Backrow is a tribute to fans of shows. "Watch me sing my song for you" the words go. Liz makes you want to jump to your feet. Liz does a rendition of I' Gonna Wash that Man Right Out of My Hair from South Pacific, rock version. I can't say that's my favorite, but favorite to one of my friends. Since You Stayed Here, another unknown song to me, is quiet and hauntingly beautiful. Bette Midler does a version of this I think on her CD with From a Distance. She sings a duet with her sister, Ann Hampton Callaway who sings on Sibling Revelry with Liz. Ann wrote and sang the theme from The Nanny. The song Liz and Callaway and here sister does is Our Time. It's also on Sibling Revelry. Great duet. One of my favorites on the CD is Marry Me a Little by Stephen Sondheim. The words are a plea to marry me, a little. The song is an almost a desperate plea to marry me but you don't have to make promises you don't want to, an open marriage? Make a few demands a few that I'm able to fulfill. She sings I'm ready. We won't have to give up a thing, we'll stay who we are the words say. Someone I'm Ready. I would give this song 5 stars on its own. It makes me cry because she sounds like she will settle but at the same time she wants the love fully. The arrngements on this album are unique. She sings I've Got the Sun in the Morning from Annie Get Your Gun jazzy. Most of the other songs on the album are not known by most people. I can only say that Liz makes you want to see these shows and she pulls you in. I think I've become her biggest fan. I'm a singer too. I could see myself singing with her. I have her The Beat Goes On album too with sixties hits. I hope that people will get to know her because if you haven't heard this or her voice, you are going to be deprived of a remarkale clear strong voice. Buy this. I promise you won't be sorry! One more addition, Meadowlark. Spectacular! The story tells of someone hesitating because the time wasn't right and she learns from the story to live your life, climb every mtn.
