Title: Flawed Recording for a Good Cause
Review: This recording probably falls into the category of albums that are not likely to be worn out from over-listening. Recorded live, this benefit concert boasts an impressive roster including Donna Murphy, Randy Graff, the Callaway sisters, and many other popular theater performers. Unfortunately, much of the material wasn't worth recording. If that weren't bad enough, the sound quality is poor and the accompanying piano is insufficient in creating the necessary mood for each piece. Worst among the performances is Rachel York who wonders "Will It Matter that I Was?" Both the song and the singer leave much to be desired. Alix Corey's "I Know You're There" is the only stand out number from this benefit. There is genuine emotion in her signing, and the lyrics, though spotty at time as in "You needn't panic/I'm not consulting and gurus/Calling psychics, practicing with voodoo" are generally effective.
