Title: listen before you leap
Product review: I bought this after hearing Diana Krall's version of Crazy on NPR. There are some good renditions by Amy Grant "Back in Baby's Arms", of course K. D. Lang "Leavin on your mind" Terri Clark especially good at "Walkin After Midnight" and a pretty good "Faded Love" by Patty Griffin. Norah Jones is still terrific even if not a perfect match for her style. But, the first song by Natalie Cole is so poor that it unfortunately sets the tone for the whole album. Cole's voice is hoarse and otherwise dreadful. How could she lead off the album? Wrong choice for a Patsy Cline song. Martina McBride's attempt at "Sweet Dreams of you" is painful to listen to and the background music is a real turn off. What a shame, this could have been a great album with other artists.
