Title: Poor copy of real music
Product review: As in the awful "BJS" album, the singer tries to find out what all the fuss is about in the youth market. The result sounds like a parody album. On some tracks, it sounds like a bad Karaoke performance.In particular, "Free the People" is painful, especially when compared with the Delaney and Bonnie original. Bonnie Bramlett, as idiosyncratic a singer as she is, still shows much better range than the famous Barbara.Likewise, the Randy Newman covers are vapidly done, with none of the menace or energy that Randy brings to his songs.This album is basically a form of Muzak. Live high energy music filtered and sanitized for the housefrau set.Barbra sounds much better when she sticks to corn and schmaltz.Fer cryin out loud, this piece of crap was in stores RIGHT NEXT TO THE ORIGINALS!Do yourself a favor and listen to the originals. If you can stand her versions, you might find something new to enjoy as well!
