Title: A purchase for a Smith fan
Review: I concur with one of the previous reviews in that this CD features some of Kate Smith's lesser-known songs. However, for me, it was still worth it. I'm of the sort that listens to songs over and over again and likes them more and more each time--the habit persisted with this CD. Though the melodies aren't as powerful and inspiring as Smith's "God Bless America," "Danny Boy," or "My Cup Runneth Over" (my favorites), they have clever and ringing lyrics. For example, I found "Imagination" to be particularly spot-on to some of my own experiences and feelings.For one who is already familiar with and a fan of Kate Smith, this is a worthy purchase. As an introductory pastiche, however, for a gift or otherwise, this CD doesn't quite make the cut. I'd recommend as a supplement only.
