About the Artist
One may ask how you could possibly kick things up a notch for the sophomore release... How about teaming up with Canadian rock legend Randy Bachman?

On Not Today (released September 28th, 2004) Bachman played an instrumental role as co-writer, guitarist and producer. On being involved on this album Bachman says: "I've always considered myself first and foremost a songwriter. So for years I've had my ears open, looking for the perfect voice to sing some of the more rocking songs I've had the music for. I'm so glad I found Maren to work with. She has the most perfect voice. She has absolutely perfect intonation and control."

With Not Today Ord takes a musical step forward from her Juno nominated debut. Not Today proves that Ord has grown as a writer and performer, delivering rock influenced pop songs without letting go of the skilled songwriting that has gotten her this far.

Product Description
Maren's sophomore release is a step forward from her roots as a pop based singer songwriter. For this album she drew from her life experiences and and put them to a rock back beat with the help of her producer, rock legend Randy Bachman. It's a release that was 4 years in the making but well worth the wait. Finely crafted songs that aren't afraid to soar with Bachman influenced guitar licks and that trademark Maren Ord voice keeping it all together.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2006-08-06

This is a wonderful double CD of fabulous musical numbers performed by theatre greats and directed by a legandary musical director.

5 out of 5 stars Simply the Best.......2005-06-29

First, to the person who criticizes the recording b/c of "Broadway Baby." Daisy Egan (who sings in in this recording) sounds like she's 10 becuase she IS young. She had just appeared on Braodway in Secret Garden and won a Tony for it. It's a joke...Broadway BABY...hello, it's a joke.

In a compilation of songs like this you're always going to have tracks that you prefer over others, but the majority of the renditions in this CD are great. This is simply one of the best collections of Sondheim out there. You get interpretations that span from "classical" (Green Finch), to bordering on insane (Anything Twice). This is to demonstrate how versatile this composer really is.

In my opinion, some of the best renditions are "Not a Day Goes By," "Anyone Can Whistle", "Girls Upstairs Medley," "Losing My Mind/Drive a Person Crazy," and "Weekend inthe Country." Makes me wish I had been there to witness it first hand.

If you love Sondheim and enjoy hearing Broadway performers, get this CD. A great recording.

4 out of 5 stars Inconsistent, but mostly excellent.......2004-03-21

I am sure no knowledgeable person would deny how absolutely perfect all these songs are. However, the performances on this album are extremely inconsistent. It will go from an excellent rendition (Waiting for the Girls medley, Sunday, With So Little To Be Sure Of, Sooner or Later, Green Finch, Send in the Clowns, Pretty Lady) to the weird (I never Do Anything Twice), to the bad (Broadway Baby, Our Time). I still have absolutely no idea how they managed to butcher one of the best songs ever written--Good Thing Going--and turn it into smooth jazz elevator music. Why would they give Broadway Baby to someone who sounds like she's 10? That said, Liza Minelli, Glenn Close, Karen Ziemba, Dorothy Laudon and the "Waiting for the Girls" performers are all very good. And ending with Bernadette Peters and "Sunday" ends the set on a absolutley fabulous note.

5 out of 5 stars "Celebration" is not strong enough a word.......2003-04-30

This review is by Crosley.

I have been a major Sondheim fan for quite some time, and I finally obtained a copy of this album. I was blown away by the excellent cast and phenomenal selection of music. It is obvious how much work went into this production, considering that this is the live recording of a one time show, and it's flawless. The songs cover all of his shows with the exception of "Passion," which was released 3 years after this show. Also, the shows for which he wrote only lyrics are ommited, like West Side Story, Gypsy, etc. Thus, you can find material from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Anyone can Whistle, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Pacific Overtures, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Merrily we Roll Along, Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods, and Assassins.

There are two striking things about this CD (besides the music and performers themselves). First of all, some of the songs are completely stylistically reworked. The most obvious are "Good Thing Going" and "I Never do Anything Twice." Both are traditionally very ballady with a piano accompaniment, but here they have been redone as jazzy tunes. The result is excellent. Such reworkings demonstrate that Sondheim writes music for virtually any style, and in these cases, across several styles. It's a great example of his variety. The other interesting thing is how many songs have overlapping melodies of songs from different shows. Case in point, "Our Time" and "No one is Alone" are sung seperately by the Harlem Boys Choir and Betty Buckley (the original Grizabella in Webber's atrocious "CATS," although Buckley was excellent) respectively, and then combined. Putting these two songs together offer different meanings to each, and the music is only enhanced. Another example, the trio of "Waiting for the Girls Upstairs," "Love, I Hear," and "Live Alone and Like It" are sung in that order, and then the latter two are combined. Again, the meanings of the songs change, this time in an almost narrative style, and offering different takes on love in the same montage. Lastly (at least for this review, there are more), Dorothy Laudon's (the original Ms. Hannigan in Annie) combination of "Losing my Mind" and "You Could Drive a Person Crazy" is brilliant. Those who are familiar with these songs will wonder how exactly they fit, but trust me, they do. She swtiches back and forth between melodies to create a number that starts poignant and beautiful, and soon moves to become uproariously funny. Both the song reworkings and overlapping melodies of unrelated songs are all for the better.

I recommend this recording to anyone wanting to get better acquainted with some of Sondheim's best work, or those already familiar who want to hear a tour de force of phenomenal music. It has been said that Sondheim is a masterful lyricist (which he is), but lacks real talent for music. This CD is the final proof that such critics are wrong. His music may take a few listenings to get into, contrary to Webber or Wildhorn, but unlike those two, he doesn't cater to the audience. He challenges them to think outside of traditional musical theater in a glorious repertoise of shows that reach for a smarter, more sophisticated form.

5 out of 5 stars A maginificent evening, a magnificent album.......2001-12-16

There's something to be said for the first concert you ever see at Carnegie Hall. I was fortunate enough to have this be my first. This entire evening was devoted to his genius and the performers did not disappoint.

This wonderful double CD shows off the best and brightest of the musical theatre composer and it is, as one person put it, "an embarassment of riches." With songs from his finest works done in amazing arrangements (listen to that harmony in "We Had a Good Thing Going"!) combined with fabulous performers this is a Sondheim lovers delight.

My favorite song is, without a doubt, Dorothy Louden and her wonderful medley of "Losing My Mind" into "You Could Drive a Person Crazy" followed very closely by the recently departed Madeline Kahn singing "Getting Married Today."

3 out of 5 stars Pleasant Enough.......2007-02-19

A pleasant score. Fine singing, especially the wonderful Liz Callaway. The score, however, doesn't have those one or two numbers that stand out and stop you in your tracks. I haven't seen the show, and perhaps when integrated with the text.....

5 out of 5 stars Pure joy.......2005-03-08

I have bought this CD with Wild party and each of them was amazing. Fist I have heard Wild party and after that I haven't thought that I would enjoy the second one but Brownstone was simply so amazing. I didn't skip songs, because all of them are beautiful sung by actors who's singing voice are pure, strong and wonderful.
As you can see, I'm a true Brian D'arcy James fan but each singer amazed me, really.
Buy this Cd if you want to hear a fantastic musical.

4 out of 5 stars A Different Type of Musical.......2004-03-09

I bought BROWNSTONE at the recommendation of a friend and have mixed feelings. I know this show has quite a history as far as transfer from off-Broadway to Broadway and the controversy surrounding its revamping for its journey to the Great White Way. I think the songs are catchy and clever, I just am sort of turned off by the orchestrations. The instruments sound like they are coming from a computer built in 1990. They sound too fake and I think there could be better orchestration, though the melodies are nice. Some songs are just corny like The Cell Phone Song, added only recently. Certain songs are great like The opening, Fiction Writer, Camouflage, and Babies on the Brain.

I would say that if you are looking for a musical CD to add to your collection that is a little different from what you're used to, BROWNSTONE is for you. And also, it features an amazing cast of seasoned veterans and new comers as well.

All in all, a nice CD.

Elaine Stritch is a legend and she knows it. And so she came up with a whole one-woman show about the best topic she could think of: her life in the theater. And what a trip it's been. From Ethel Merman to Noel Coward, Stritch has worked with some of the greatest names to grace the American stage, and she has anecdotes about all of them (most are included on this recording). In this show, she hits all the marks with the acuity of a seasoned pro who's seen it all and whose love for the theater remains undiluted. Stritch is not a traditionally pretty singer (those gravelly pipes!), but she absolutely knows how to give life to a song, extracting the last drop of meaning, dropping pauses for effect with deadly accuracy. Sondheim's "Ladies Who Lunch" and "Broadway Baby" will be hers forever, and a case could be made for the hilarious "Zip" (from Pal Joey) and the obscure, spectacularly politically incorrect "Civilization" (from the revue Angel in the Wings) as well. Fittingly, this two-CD set includes "I'm Still Here," which may well be Stritch's motto. If you're looking for a concise yet bewitching history of the musical, this is it. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A National Treasure.......2007-07-05

This double CD is stuffed full of great songs and amazing stories. My favorite stories are of Elaine's date with Marlon Brando, what she thought some lyric are/meant, and her time in Compant. The total honesty that she brings it all together is touching and inspiring.

Very few people have the length or variety of a career that Elaine Stritch has had. I am sure that she has enough stories to do ten more shows.

If you love Broadway then you must buy this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Stritch is superb.......2007-06-27

The only disappointment is that I missed the show live. This is a terrific honest performance by an actor who has a deep well of experience from which to draw. From her early childhood memories, through acting school, her loves, her struggles and more, Ms Stritch weaves a fascinating and completely enthralling story. Ultimately, she lives the songs, rather than just performs and this is what really marks her out.
I am so glad, she's still here!

3 out of 5 stars Entertaining but grating on the ears.......2007-05-11

I've never been able to understand what is so great about Elaine Stritch's singing. It's simple: she can't sing. I've tried and tried to like her, and I do, as an actress, but NOT as a singer. Listening to these CDs, all I hear is a grouchy old lady voice with no vibrato, no range, and no ability to hold notes. If she were to try out for American Idol she would get cringes! I love her humor and honesty, and that's why I bought this, but the voice...ugh.

5 out of 5 stars Great Broadway Review.......2007-04-11

I thoroughly enjoy this collection of stories from her experiences from a teenage girl in Michigan through her career, very funny, some sad and great entertainment.

4 out of 5 stars Elaine Stritch at Liberty.......2007-01-19

Album Description

Revelation: 59 Unavailable for years "We're Not In This Alone" was the ultimate record for the straight edge hardcore powerhouse, Youth Of Today. Originally released on Caroline in 1988 this album featured one of the most impressive line-ups in hardcore history; Ray Cappo (Shelter, Better Than A Thousand) on vocals, Porcell (Shelter, Judge, Gorilla Biscuits) on guitar, Walter (Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits) on bass and Sammy (CIV, Judge, Side By Side, Gorilla Biscuits) on drums.

The songs on "We're Not In This Alone" are born from the band's dedication to straight edge, positive living and the strength of the both the individual and of a generation. Full of energy and inspiration this record was an essential step in the development of hardcore. Completely remastered and designed with tons of rare, previously unissued photos and complete lyrics.

5 out of 5 stars take..a......stannnnnnnddddddddddddddddd!!!!.......2007-04-04

Well we all know where we can rank this record. Defiently a landmark in the straight edge revolution, which ranks at the very top since the post Minor threat era. If you are into the " class of 88" bands, this is the one to pick up. Angry, motivated, and determined were YOT. Their agenda did not sit well with everyone, but to each his own. This is a classic that shouldnt be without in any collection.

5 out of 5 stars Greatest Record in Existance .......2007-03-16

Yes you heard me, none can match the greatness of said album. This is the blueprint of except it is more exciting than any ordinary blueprint my friend, this is rad in full real life color homie. Anyway, it's hard to explain why this is so great, it's self evident honestly. This is where your favorite sing alongs were birthed from, intense lyrics (some say preachy and I say "ha" to that) and a voice that is like no other. Everyone wants Ray Cappo, I know I do. Anyways, this is the archetype of records, the pinacle the first classic full length. break Down the Walls is hyped to , it's decent but it's not solid or consistent. Honestly kid if your like, I need to have the greatest record ever recorded, you'd be a full not to include this in your collection.

A FOOL!

2 out of 5 stars Energy can't save poor execution.......2005-08-08

As a huge YOT fan since the beginning, this record was a very difficult one for me. This album features some of the worst production I have ever heard. Basement tapes sound better than this. Furthermore, the instruments are often out of sync with the drums (which is odd, since I know these guys can play), and the vocals off time from the rest of the band. As I listened, I wondered if they had even bothered to listen to what they'd recorded before mixing and pressing the record, it's that bad.

Despite this, you can tell that most of these songs would be hardcore classics if only they could be realized sonically, but the production is just too disappointing. "Flame Still Burns" and "Slow Down" would have been brilliant, for example.

If you're new to YOT, pick up "Can't Close My Eyes" or "Break Down the Walls" - this one is for fans only.

5 out of 5 stars stellar.......2004-04-22

this is the greatest hardcore album ever created, period. it even beats out minor threat's complete discography for that title. every single song on the album is an anthem worth screaming along with and the lyrics are great. if you are into hardcore music it is imperative that you OWN this album.

4 out of 5 stars reissue deserved..........2001-12-06

this album is great. i'm not sXe or vegan, but i do appreciate this record a lot. y.o.t. was a great band, with cappo's distinct vocals and a somewhat revolving-door style backing that always layed down fast, hard-hitting hardcore. (...)

5 out of 5 stars What a recording!.......2000-06-29

I only wich I could have been at Carnegie Hall that night! Come on, Bernadette Peters, Liza Minnelli, Karen Ziemba, James Naughton, and so much more! After i bought this highlights album I knew I had to get the full 2-CD set. It's great cause it's live, the orchestrations are Heaven, and you will feel like your in new york in the audience. Buy it enjoy it and if you like it is much as I do buy the Video of the performance!

4 out of 5 stars Erica Wheeler's "Three Wishes" great songs + wonderful voice.......2000-11-07

From the first track "Onward from Here" to the last, "Saturday" this is one fine recording. I will now, after hearing this, go and find her earlier recorded work. She plays very well and writes really good songs. Erica wrote all the tracks on this CD except for "Angeline" (by James McMurtry) and "Casey, Illinois" (by Bill Morrissey). So far I enjoy the track "Nowhere to Go" the most. She has a clear and soaring country-flavored voice. Erica Wheeler is a fine songwriter and a wonderful singer, go get this CD and you will not be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars A musical and song-writing triumph.......1999-07-20

Erica Wheeler is the next Bonnie Raitt, and Three Wishes is her breakthrough recording. I've listened to Three Wishes dozens of times and still enjoy it tremendously. Check out Onward from Here, the story of Jack's Tavern, the lyrics and music of Angels and the quiet pleasure of Solace of a Prayer. There's Nowhere to Go but to the nearest store, on-line or otherwise, to buy this CD. Happy listening.

5 out of 5 stars A favorite for 30 years.......2006-10-05

Like the next reviewer, I had this on record, and now have the CD. I have loved this music for 30 years. If you love 20th century American music, give it a try. I wish you as much pleasure as I have received from it.

5 out of 5 stars Proof that American songs can be great.......2002-07-05

I have had the lp issue of this album for many years and have enjoyed it more with each encounter. The songs by Duke, Bowles, Citkowitz, Chanler, and Copland are based on some familiar poems, but the songs are not, themselves, well-known. I particularly have liked the witty and memorable Duke settings of E.A. Robinson's "Luke Havergal" and "Miniver Cheevy," but the real musical highlight of the disc would probably be the settings of James Joyce's "Chamber Music" by Israel Citkowitz. Donald Gramm is in fine voice for his selections and Bethany Beardslee proves again her legendary status as an interpreter of all kinds of modern music. It is definitely a good thing that this has been reissued on CD and I hope it will reach a wide audience.
