General Info:
Amanda McBroom first came to the attention of the music public when Bette Midler's version of Amanda's song THE ROSE hit number one all over the world in 1979. But it was Amanda's performance of her own song on the Golden Globes (she won), Grammys (she didn't) and The Tonight Show that launched her career as a singer as well as songwriter.
Musical Critique:
While this CD is very hard to catalogue it belongs in the Female Jazz Vocal genre more than anything. And it happens to be probably the most luscious recording of its kind! Terrific songwriting and Amanda's perfect phrasing come to life on any worthwhile system. In my system this CD has become a must play whenever anyone visits. I dare anyone NOT to like this album. I have bought 6 to send out for Christmas gifts this year - It is that good!
Sound Quality:
When I put on the disc and press play... Wow !!! So natural... the recording was so smooth and live-like...So Dimensional and Musical. Previously all my discs were treated with Auric illuminator and JSMR CD upgrade, but this disc does not even need treatment to sound a million bucks. Very impressive recording. More natural than my Amanda XRCD24 FIM disc... This one is 'tonality' correct, the XRCD24 version wanted to sound analogue.
