You knew a trend was brewing when Concord Records scored a hit by taking newly unearthed vocal tracks from the 1970s by the late Ray Charles and adding newly recorded accompaniment by the orchestra still bearing the late Count Basie's name. Here Concord repeats the formula, doctoring outtakes by the dearly departed Ella Fitzgerald with new backing by the London Philharmonic and/or a contemporary rhythm section. As with Ray Sings, Basie Swings, Love Letters from Ella has undeniable appeal. Recorded in the 1970s, the great singer is in fine, relaxed, late-season form on a collection of ballads including "My Old Flame" and "Cry Me a River" and medium tempo tunes including "Withcraft" and "Our Love is Here to Stay." (There is also a pair of unaltered, previously unreleased performances by Ella and Basie and band and a 1983 track teaming her with Andre Previn.) The new orchestrations by Jorge Calandrelli are tasteful, and the edits are clean. But if you're going to play these archival games, you owe it to listeners to spell out what was done and why in greater track-by-track detail than is done here. Exactly what old accompaniment did the new accompaniment replace? Did a duet with guitarist Joe Pass really need to be "updated" with a rhythm section? When record companies start thinking these things don't matter, jazz is in even bigger trouble than we thought. --Lloyd Sachs

Backed by a band flush with aces--from the country side, Buddy Emmons, Albert Lee, and Roy Huskey Jr.; from rock, Howie Epstein, Benmont Tench, and David Lindley--Carter plays her strongest suit with her 1993 release. There's a commitment to her own material--fine songs like "Long Hard Fall" and the hit "Every Little Thing"--that pushes her vocals in intense, emotional directions. This is Carter's first record to adequately express her rock sensibilities in a cohesive country setting, and for that, it remains her best. --Roy Francis Kasten

Carlene Carter - Little Love Letters.......2007-07-20

I bought this album because it contained "Every Little Thing" and that is the only track I had ever heard from Carlene Carter and I thought it was fabulous. I had been looking everywhere for one of her albums but was unsuccessful here in the UK. Thank god for Amazon. That track along with the rest of the album is also excellent and I am glad I bought it.

Carlene Rocks.......2007-06-12

Little Love Letters is a great country/rock album. It's marked throughout by high energy. There are strong drums throughout the album. Carlene puts a lot into the vocals. There's no fill on this album; it's solid good songs. These are just the really good songs:

Every Little Thing - very high energy, makes listening want to jump around

Wastin Time with You - energetic, with good drums and a kind of 50s-rock-like instrumentation

Unbreakable Heart - good ballad, well sung by Carlene in a gentle voice

Sweet Meant to Be - an awesome song, one of my favs in any genre. Great soprano voice by Carlene. About a love that was "meant to be"

Nowhere Train - kinda has the rhythm of a train going across country. Nice effect

I Love You Cause I Want To - another one with 50s rock style to it. Very assertive, forward vocals about singer going for what she wants

Hallelujah in My Heart - jubilant attitude

Heart is Right - this tune just really moves along, irresistable

Great album by Carlene. It's too bad that she has since run into hard times from what I hear. Well, she made this album and that's a lot more than most of us will ever accomplish musically.

Country Rock rollercoaster that never gets old........2006-01-26

This is the best country rock recording I've ever heard.

The first Carlene Carter album I ever owned was Musical Shapes. I thought nothing could be better than that in the world of country rock. I went and bought up most all her other recordings to see if she ever did anything else like that great "country punk" album from the 80's. This was the gold nugget of the lot (although all her stuff is enjoyable to me).

Some recordings sound like projects that the musicians work hard at and are glad when they're over, and some recordings sound like everyone is having fun. This is the latter.

If you are a Carlene Carter fan at all and you don't own this album, you should. If you own this and don't own Musical Shapes, then by all means get that one too. And, if you've heard of Carlene Carter and you're wondering which one of her discs to buy first, this is it!

Absolutely Timeless.......2005-05-15

I had the good fortune of making several personal travel arrangements for Carlene when she was on the Giant lable and I was living in Nashville. You felt like one of her best friends by the end of the call. She even gave me an album credit. I grew up listening to music from sunup to sundown. My mother would play a radio every night as she put me to bed. There are very few music styles that can say I don't like. I was around always Country Music, but was a little more Rock & Roll. I honestly think I would have loved as much then as I do now. It's timeless and I grow to like it the more and more everytime it's played. It's amazing to me how she combined all the music styles and made it what I consider as one of the best albums of any style in the 1990's.
I seriously feel if they were to release it again it would outsell the original release. Out of all the songs that have been mentioned in previous reviews I didn't notice any of them to have included "Hallelujah In My Heart". To me this is the song that is the "secret gem" of the CD. Bluegrass, Country and a just a enough of pop to invite you to gather round, join in and sing along.
I think of her more often lately and wish there were a way I could help her through her recent struggles, but I haven't spoken to her since I moved eight years ago. Carlene, if you should ever read this, I want to say I know you're gonna come through this.

A piece of childhood.......2004-12-06

This was the first country album I ever owned (at age 9), and I remember I just about wore out the cassette. I don't remember all of the songs, but I particularly remember Unbreakable Heart, Sweet Meant to Be, Nowhere Train, Long Hard Fall and, most of all, Every Little Thing as being my favorites. Even as young as I was, I knew this much: The girl had talent. She deserved to be known so much better than she was back then. As for the music, eleven years later I still give it 5 stars. Now thats how much a masterpiece like this sticks in my memory.

Despite racking up Tony nominations and/or box-office success with Nine, Grand Hotel, and Titanic, Maury Yeston remains a relatively unknown Broadway auteur. And yet, what a fabulous songwriter he is. Listen to "Home," for instance: This excerpt from Phantom (the other adaptation of Phantom of the Opera) has great melodic hooks, along with natural sweep and unrestrained emotion. Like every song on this CD, it also has such dramatic drive that it easily stands on its own outside of its regular narrative frame. This collection of new recordings provides an excellent overview of Yeston's talent, juxtaposing numbers from his three best-known scores (though there's only one from Titanic) with rarities and a generous selection from his 1991 song cycle December Songs. Christine Ebersole, Liz Callaway, and Betty Buckley turn in expectedly strong performances, but watch also for Laura Benanti (the star of the 2003 revival of Nine), Christine Andreas, and Foster Sutton, who completely make the material theirs. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

a wonderful surprise.......2007-07-22

Like others, I bought this CD primarily for Sutton Foster's rendition of "I Want to Go to Hollywood." And while that's wonderful, the real surprises here are the songs from Yeston's song cycle "December Songs." Christine Ebersole and Christine Andreas give absolutely lovely, technically proficient, completely heartfelt renditions of "My Grandmother's Love Letters" and "By the River", respectively. I'd heard Andrea Marcovicci's recording of "December Songs" and was seriously underwhelmed. These two tracks just prove that Yeston might have over-estimated Marcovicci's range and technical ability. "By the River" is a revelation in the right hands, and Ms. Andreas's rendition is just four minutes of wonderful. I also want to mention Howard McGillin's "No Moon". This little song from "Titanic" is just so moving. Pulled out of context, it becomes a little jewel of metaphor.

The CD as a whole is beautifully recorded, with an intimacy and clarity that makes you feel like you're in the first row of a very small theatre. If you come across this and you're on the fence, take a chance. I bet that you'll be as pleasantly surprised and deeply moved as I've been.

What!? How is this possible?.......2007-01-20

How could one put together a Maury Yeston Songbook cd without a track from Andrea Marcovicci? He wrote a song cycle for her. Granted there are some great singers here but a grave oversight to not include Ms Marcovicci.

Beauty and grace, charm and wit - Maury's got it all.......2006-11-14

Maury Yeston may be musical theatre's unsung genius to the public at large, but I've heard his praises sung many times. A friend convinced me to buy the original Broadway cast of "Nine", and while there were some fantastic songs and an undeniable melodic gift throughout, it left me lukewarm. The same with "Grand Hotel". And I couldn't stand "Titanic" - too big, too self-important, too reliant on booming low brass and bombastic orchestral swells.

"Phantom" was the only one of his scores that touched something other than distanced admiration in me. It was everything Sir Lloyd Webber's popera travesty could never quite aspire to - epic yet human, beautiful and touching, with songs that showed actual details and emotions. So it was with that in mind that I purchased this, figuring that maybe Maury could prove me wrong, shorn from the restrictions of a book musical format.

And by God, did he prove me right and then some.

Maybe it's the singers. Maybe it's the perfect orchestrations. Maybe it's just the absence of a plot to follow. More than likely, it's all three, but this is one of the most gorgeous, enjoyable, heartbreaking albums I've ever purchased. Yeston has assembled an impressive cast to give voice to his music - such heavy Broadway hitters as Alice Ripley, Brent Barrett, Betty Buckley, Christine Ebersole and Howard McGillin mix with up-and-comers like Eden Espinosa, Sutton Foster, and Brian d'Arcy James. But the most impressive turns are given by people I'd never heard of before - Johnny Rodgers (who?) has a voice spun from gold, and he's absolutely perfect in "Danglin'", a simple and powerful song despite some odd lyric choices by Yeston. Likewise Philip Chaffin in "My True Love" and "I Am Longing", and Michael Holland displays a warm and untrained performance of "Another Day in the Modern World". These three men, who I'd never heard of before, absolutely stole the show. It doesn't hurt that they're given some of the best songs from the album.

Of course, the rest of the ensemble uniformly turns in worthwhile performances. The professionalism of Broadway is gloriously evident here, each singer making their song uniquely theirs. Brent Barrett made me hear "Only With You" as if for the first time. Betty Buckley is surprisingly vulnerable in "I Had A Dream About You". Alice Ripley is her usual bundle of raw emotion in "Please Let's Not Even Say Hello", and turns in a rare comic performance in "Call From The Vatican" to great effect (listen to that surprise high note near the end! Wow, Alice!). Christine Ebersole is heartbroken, elated, vulnerable, and tough all in the course of "Grandmother's Love Letters"' 4 minutes.

There are some weak spots - Eden Espinosa is mostly one-note during her song, and while it's certainly a high note, it's nothing you haven't heard her do better elsewhere. Laura Benanti's "Now and Then" goes by without much notice, which is a shame for this talented actress. And Betty Buckley goes back to her usual high-volume stridence in "Be On Your Own", which despite its chilling music deserves a more nuanced performance than Buckley gives here. But these songs would be standouts on any other album, and it's only the company they keep that prevent them from being excellent.

Oh, and "Unusual Way", possibly Yeston's best-known song, is so beautifully performed here by Brian d'Arcy James and a three-piece band that I nearly cried hearing it. And that's quite a feat for a song that I swore never to listen to again after the seventeenth girl in a day auditioned with it (badly). But the gender swap works perfectly, and d'Arcy James' golden Irish tenor swings through the music effortlessly.

As for the band - there are no missteps here. Each song is given exactly what it needs, from the Romantic-with-a-capital-R string section on "Home", to the jazzy saxophone on "Letter From the Vatican", to "Be On Your Own", which is given a Herrmann-esque string section. Some particular touches stand out - that lovely acoustic guitar on "Danglin'", the simple piano line on "Modern World", and the sublime cello/piano outro in "Unusual Way" really stuck with me after the album stopped playing. And the recording is without fault - crisp, encompassing, personable and expansive as the mood requires. The whole album sounds fantastic.

There is such a wide range of style and substance here that each song would deserve purchasing individually. As a collection? It's bliss. If you're a fan of theater music, appreciate great vocals, or just need something to keep you company on long nights, this is required purchase.

A perfect marriage of music and lyrics.......2006-09-07

I think Yeston must be the most underrated talent in music theatre. And not just music theatre ... for as far as I know, "Danglin'" is not from a show - a jewel of a song ... and a disarmingly honest rendition from Johnny Rogers (what a beautiful voice! Why hasn't he made more CD's?) Some other favourites are "New Words" (not enough parent-child love songs out there ... and I can't imagine it could be sung any better than this), "You're there too" (with a charming and unexpected twist), "Simple" (Callaway is superb), "Only With You" (loveable rogue!) ... to name but a few. Inspired music theatre writing. A must for any musical buff, composer or singer seeking repertoire that will help them stand out from the crowd.

The Maury Yeston Songbook.......2006-08-30

A good album sung by good singers. I have been an admirer of Maury Yeston for a number of years . I am a great fan of "Nine"
which I consider his best work.(If possible try to listen to the
Australian Cast Recording with John Diedrich) I enjoy listening to artists like Alice Ripley, Brent Barrett, Sutton Foster,and my very favourite singer Liz Callaway. All in all a great CD to just sit back ,relax and enjoy Les Breen

Solid,Passionate work from THE Singer.......2007-07-08

Love Letters demonstrates Elvis'undeniable love for music.He didn't just sing a song...he gave it energy,he let it breathe.This is clearly on display in the way he sings on Heart of Rome.When I'm Over You is another opportunity for him to grab hold of the music and make it his own.I'll Never Know and This is Our Dance are two seldom heard songs which makes this a must have for any fan.Got My Mojo Working and Cindy,Cindy allows Elvis to show-off...and he does.His ability to sing R&B still goes unnoticed except by us fans.The title track was the second time he did this song.the first was in the mid-60s.I like this version best for his voice had matured by the early 70s.This was one of many albums from his historic Nashville marathon recording sessions.A great and fun CD to have.

Ok but not great.......2007-06-24

This is an ok album; not particularly strong, but not bad. It was released in 1971 and peaked at 33 on the US album chart and 12 on the country album chart. It did better in the UK reaching 7 on the album chart. The title track, "Love Letters" was originally released as a single in 1966 and was a top 20 hit in the US and top ten in the UK. The song "Life" was a minor hit in 1971 reaching 53 on the US singles chart and 34 on the Adult Contemporary chart. It's flip side "Only Believe" was a top ten country hit. It has a couple of up-tempo tunes on it that are pretty good, "Got My Mojo Working" and "Cindy, Cindy".

In recent years, Paris, Texas-born Leslie Satcher has distinguished herself as one of Nashville's most inspired young songwriters. Since she hit town a few years ago with $100 in her pocket and dreams of stardom, her original compositions have been covered by everyone from Reba McEntire and George Jones to Vince Gill and Randy Travis. On her fine and accomplished debut album, Satcher makes the point that perhaps nobody can interpret her memorable songs better than she can herself. On exquisitely forlorn weepers like "Burn Me Down" and "Look Who's Talking Now" (the latter featuring Alison Krauss and cowritten with the great Melba Montgomery), Satcher turns in vocal performances that are emotionally persuasive, yet understated and artful. On inward-looking songs like "Every Time It Rains," "It Can't Be Good to Hurt That Bad," and "Love Letters from Old Mexico" (where she's joined by Krauss and Emmylou Harris), Satcher reveals soulfulness and insight that seem to reach well beyond her 28 years. --Bob Allen

Saw her live.......2005-03-10

At the Grand Ole Opry and she really stood out. High energy, tight harmony, star power. I didn't know who she was but asked for the CD when it came out. Always like to see people interpret their own music, over covers.

Do see her live if you can. Good production values on the CD BTW.

Leslie Satcher.......2004-01-13

I have been listening to Country Music since I was a child. In the 1970s, I loved Emmylou, Linda Ronstadt and several others, and always Merle Haggard. I will always adore these people who sing with their very souls and the new people coming up today, are great as well. I will always be a fan! Come on, Leslie, make another one! Love Letters is fantastic! I know Vince Gill is a friend, so get him on the next album too!

TRUE TEXAS--ALRIGHT!.......2003-11-07

I just heard this album on a radio station in Ft. Worth, TX and it was awesome! I love to hear true country chicks. I thought the songs and lyrics were catchy and touching. Thanks "The Ranch" for featuring fresh artists with roots. I am going to buy this album!

An ok CD.......2001-10-20

Most of the songs on this CD are drippy, or just downright dreadful. A few are catchy, but none match the energy of "Texarkana". If this extremely talented singer could harness that energy and forget the throwaway B-side stuff, she'd be a mainstay on country radio. Buy this for "Texarkana", if you don't mind paying $... for a single!!!

Horsekicked into countrymusic.......2001-06-07

It was not long ago that I discovered that I in fact liked countrymusic (still have a bit of that embaressing feeling when I tell people I do). My musicroots is more heavy or hard rock like Black Sabbath, Deep Purple I'm sure you know the rest of the story..you grow up and suddenly, there it is, a new world of music to discover. This CD is a world hit. Period. Im proud beeing horsekicked into this new musicworld by this Texaslady.

Original on Blue Velvet?.......2006-11-21

I think you will find the version in the soundtrack "Blue Velvet" to be the original, at least run time is correct, but have not listened to it...

original run time is 2:36 or 2:37 and not 2:41 for the Love Letters cd

ditto for a Time Life compilation 2 LP box set titled "The 60's - Rave On", which I do own... run time was 2:37 on this lp

you should also get the correct version by getting the 7" 45 vinyl that is still available...

original 1962 7" from ERA say 2:27, I don't think this is correct, on ebay I saw the image of 7" label with a radio station logo stamp on it that someone had penciled in 2:36

radio stations need to know correct run time.
