Title: Relaxing Barbra
Product review: During most of the 60's, to the chagrin of Columbia records, Barbra challenged the way standards were sung, she sang cry me a river with rage rather than sadness, she sang broadway tunes that suited her voice, but werent songs that could ever be hits. This album is almost an example of the kind of work Columbia probably originally intended for Streisand. Middle of the road songs with generic slightly jazzy arrangements, nothing histronic and nothing dramatic. The result is a very pleasing album but none of the tracks will really knock your socks off. Its excellent background music, which is rare for Streisand most of the time her tracks make it impossible to ignore her. Probably a perfect album for a fan of jazzy music who isnt necesarily a fan of Barbra
