| What you're about to read is a collection of pointers to some of the music I've discovered on the iTunes Music Store, music I like enough that I want to share it. If you're an iPod owner and an iTunes fan (and if you aren't, what are you doing here?), maybe you'll find something new. Click on any of the CD covers to bounce over to the store and sample a few tracks. And then maybe stop by my other blog for a few well chosen words (and maybe a random snark or two). |

| Happening / Brenda Earle | |
|
I may have mentioned my enthusiasm for musical theatre a time or two
before. Happening doesn't belong to that genre, although my
first reaction was that it well could. There's something theatrical
about these songs, both in their composition and their arrangement;
they tell a story or set a mood in exactly the way some of my Broadway
favorites do. Most of the songs here are original, which makes me
wonder if their specialness comes more from their creation or their
performance, or if the two are inseparable.
One not-original track is a memorable version of Every Little Thing (He) Does Is Magic. And if she can't quite equal Shawn Colvin's breathtaking cover, well, second place isn't too shabby either. |
