The line between evangelist and entertainer has always been somewhat indistinct. But as showcased on this 43-track, double-disc collection culled from his '87-'96 recordings for Elektra/Nonesuch/Atlantic, Michael Feinstein's dedication to spreading the gospel of the American song often blurs it beyond recognition. While the singer's pedigree for the task is impeccable (a long-term stint as Ira Gershwin's assistant and early career sponsorship by Liza Minnelli), his interpretations often succeed by playing off a tense axis of fervent emotionalism and a joyous sense of irreverence.

If his readings of romantic standards can sometimes tend toward the precious, they're often balanced here by sheer dramatic power and telling insights ("Isn't It Romantic" fairly bristles with ironic chauvinism) and a few loopy curves ("The Mole People," the Sherman Brothers' "The Ugly Bug Ball," and the previously unreleased "Rhode Island Is Famous for You"). Feinstein's dedicated song archaeology is also showcased on several gems: "Violin," a duet with Liza Minnelli; "My Favorite Year," a rejected ballad for the film of that name; the sublime "lost" Gershwin classic "Ask Me Again."

Sprinkled with live performances (the forum where Feinstein's talents seem most energized) and studio outtakes and featuring a lengthy print interview with the singer, the set chronicles both the pioneering efforts of one of pop music's most successful revivalists and, crucially, the cream of his beloved American songwriters, from stalwarts Gershwin, Berlin, and Porter to later legends like Herman, Styne, Lane, Martin, and Mercer. --Jerry McCulley

Mixed feelings.......2005-10-05

This album has some GREAT songs on it; sophisticated swing being one of my favorites. However many of the other songs are too operatic and lame. I give three stars but this album is definatly worth it just for some of the better songs.

Your love for this superb collection will be here to stay..........2002-07-18

The magnificently talented Michael Feinstein has made one wonderful album after another for nearly two decades. Now that Elektra and Rhino have put together this anthology, I am blown away by the versatility and diversity in Feinstein's recorded output. Such amazing rare gems, combined with the most beloved favorites in the history of American Popular Song. Assembled with wit, intelligence, and obvious affection on the part of the record company, this set is a keeper. You'll love it!

He's done it again.......2002-07-15

Is there anything this man can't sing? This collection is so varied as to be the definitive collection of songs for any occassion.

This is perfect background music for a dinner party for a whole group but especially for two. Light, romantic and just gorgeous. You just can't go wrong when Michael Feinstein is your musical choice.

Way to go Michael, you've done it again!

Absolutely 'S WONDERFUL!.......2002-06-10

There are very few contemporary performers who can hold their own with the truly great interpreters of American popular song. Michael Feinstein is truly the ONLY performer of the "younger" generation who really understands what these songs are all about. His incredible knowledge of this music, and his enthusiasm and passion for it have fueled his career. Rhino Records has done a truly outstanding job of putting together an anthology that exemplifies why Mr. Feinstein has become so beloved by audiences around the world. The packaging is excellent, and filled with interesting photos and background information about many of the selections.

This collection not only contains all the favorites one would expect, but a neat group of surprises too. I especially love the duets with people like Liza Minnelli and Rosemary Clooney, and the various collaborative efforts with songwriters like Jule Styne and Burton Lane accompanying Michael at the piano.

This collection is a classic to be treasured. Bravo Michael!
Bravo Rhino!

A beautiful 2 disc CD-another hit for Michael.......2002-06-09

I have every CD Michael has ever made and this is by far one of the best ones because of Michael's range in singing and his wonderful singing voice. I love his duets with Rosemary Clooney and Liza Minelli. He is a wonderful performer on this double CD and am looking foward to the next CD.

Superb Bing Crosby Music!.......2006-04-23

This is a perfect compilation of Bing Crosby songs. The two CDs showcase 50 of Bing's most popular hits, including Out of Nowhere, Just One More Chance, Dinah, Love In Bloom, I'll Be Seeing You and White Christmas. The sound quality also is superb with ASV Living Era once again capturing the warmth and richness of Bing's exquisite voice while also rendering it crystal clear. As a child, Bing first developed a love for Irish music, then later became a drummer and singer in college and soon after joined the famous Whiteman orchestra. He crooned his way through over 150 popular songs in the 1930s, with 22 of them becoming #1 hits. I don't recall any other singer who could so equally master a romantic love song, a jazz creation or an Irish ballad with such passion, style and ease. I highly recommend this album as an absolute must for everyone of any age!

Excellent vocals, traditional Broadway at it's best........1998-10-20

As a musical theatre performer who has made it a point to listen to all new musicals, this show is a perfect example of what brought Broadway to the top. With superb voices, an eclectic mix of styles and a unique flair for comedy, this show is worth buying for even the most novice of audiences.

Claire Daly's distinction as a baritone saxophonist owes less to her being one of the few women to play the instrument than to the lyricism and subtle oomph she brings to the music. No Mulligan come lately, though she was featured in a band that paid tribute to the great Gerry M, she draws more upon the streamlined bop of baritonist Leo Parker and the soulful thrusts of Ronnie Cuber. Her second solo album finds her in a more mellow and refined state than she reveals in live performance. But in gathering up goodbye songs, this onetime member of the all-female Diva big band (and a regular in pianist Joel Forrester's People Like Us) livens up the set with a decisive melodic quality that bypasses sentimentality for sturdier emotions. Whether engaging in the rhythm trickery of Thelonious Monk's "Bye-Ya," the loose spirits of "After You've Gone," or the Broadway nostalgia of "If Ever I Would Leave You" (one of two tracks featuring trumpeter James Zollar), she imparts a winning freshness. Her two vocals are workmanlike, but they add personality, as does the fine playing of regular cohorts, including pianist Eli Yamin and bassist Dave Hofstra. --Lloyd Sachs
