"Gold: 35th Anniversary Edition" (10/11/2005) Pop Vocal Carpenters (The), A&M Records (USA)The Carpenters: Karen Carpenter (vocals); Richard Carpenter (keyboards, background vocals). Additional personnel includes: Ray Parker Jr. (guitar); Tom Scott (tenor saxophone); Hal Blaine (drums). Producers: Jack Daugherty, Richard Carpenter, Karen Carpenter. Compilation producer: Richard Carpenter. Recorded between 1970 & 1997. Includes liner notes by Richard Carpenter. Look no further for the definitive Carpenters collection; this two-disc, 40-song beauty tops them all. Not only do you get all of the band's hits (and they had many), but lots of equally great, lesser-known tracks sweeten the pot. Karen Carpenter's pure, gentle voice, and brother Richard's smooth-but-sophisticated arrangements and keyboards provided the signature sound of the soft-pop 1970s. You could put this collection into a time capsule for a hundred years and accurately inform subsequent generations of what AM radio sounded like in the '70s. This anthology is also a tribute the great talents of the Paul Williams/Roger Nichols songwriting team, from whose pens flowed "Rainy Days and Mondays," "We've Only Just Begun," "I Won't Last a Day Without You," and other mellow, tuneful gems--some of the classiest pure pop music of the era. Over the course of GOLD, the Carpenter's entire career is covered, and sparkling, ornately arranged melodic delights are in no short supply.

"Closer" (11/11/2003) Pop Vocal Groban, Josh, Warner Bros. Records (Record Label)Personnel includes: Josh Groban (vocals); Leo Z. (piano, keyboards, programming, background vocals); Angie Passerella (acoustic & Classical guitars); Dean Parks, Ramon Stagnaro, Michael Thompson (guitar); Joshua Bell (violin); Devis Mariotti (flute, whistle, background vocals); Eric Rigler (Uillean pipes); David Foster (piano); Mark Hammond (keyboards, programming); David Fall (drums); Raphael Padila (percussion); Jochem Van Der Saag (programming); Richard Page, Andrea Sandri (background vocals); Deep Forest. Producers: David Foster, Walter Afanasieff, Leo Z., Mauro Malavasi, Eric Mouquet. Recorded at Chartmaker Studios, Malibu, California. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Powerhouse vocalist Josh Groban may not be all things to all people, but he's certainly many things to many people. An international sensation, Groban is a Broadway-ready belter, romantic crooner, and classical/pop crossover phenomenon. Groban largely shies away from the more operatic side of his musical personality on CLOSER, leaning more towards a lush, cosmopolitan style that finds him singing in Italian, French, Spanish, and English with equal aplomb. While the album is speckled with adult-contemporary pop production touches courtesy of Groban's mentor David Foster, much of the record sports a cinematic, grandly orchestrated feel. And on the closing track "Never Let Go," his collaboration with ambient popsters Deep Forest, Groban even bucks for inclusion on a future volume of the PURE MOODS series, showing that he's always got another stylistic surprise up his sleeve.

"Miracle" (10/12/2004) Pop Vocal Dion, Celine, Epic (USA)Personnel: Celine Dion (vocals); Dean Parks (guitar); David Foster , Jochem Van Der Saag (keyboards); Rafael Padilla (percussion); Richard Page (background vocals). Recording information: Chartmaker Studios, Malibu, California; Digital Insights Recording, Las Vegas, Nevada. Inspired by the birth of her son Rene-Charles, Celine Dion reached out to famed baby photographer Anne Geddes to collaborate on MIRACLE, a collection of lush songs performed by Dion, accompanied by the charming infant photographs of Geddes. The French-Canadian songbird pours herself into a bilingual rendition of "Brahms' Lullaby," along with a gentle version of "What a Wonderful World," and a lighter-than-air take on John Lennon's "Beautiful Boy." As precious as the babies presented in the artwork are Dion's cover of Ewan MacColl's timeless "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (best known as a Roberta Flack staple) and a sprightly interpretation of Henri Salvador's "Le Loup, La Biche et le Chevalier (Une Chanson Douce)." The Geddes-designed booklet is as sumptuous as the music, and amid its 19 pages are images of Dion posing with newborns in costumes made up to look like various flowers, including roses, lotuses, and orchids. Those wishing to indulge in a more expansive version of this project are directed to a separate set made up of the album, a "making of" DVD, and a coffee-table book.

"The Very Best of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons" (01/14/2003) Pop Vocal Valli, Frankie, Rhino Records (USA)Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli (vocals); Tommy DeVito (vocals, guitar); Bob Gaudio (vocals, keyboards); Nick Massi (vocals, bass). Additional personnel includes: Joe Long (vocals, guitar, nass); Charlie Calello (bass). Producers include: Bob Crewe, Bob Guadio. Compilation producer: Gary Stewart. Recorded between 1962 & 1978. Includes liner notes by Pat Sierchio. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Released in 2002, this excellent 20-track collection, lovingly compiled by the Rhino label, features many of Frankie Valli's finest moments, both as part of the Four Seasons and on his own. While the majority of the disc focuses on the falsetto-voiced singer's string of 1960s hits with his impeccable Jersey boys that made up the Four Seasons, including the energetic, neo-doo-wopper "Sherry" and the optimistic "Let's Hang On (To What We've Got)," it also makes room for solo singles, such as the dreamy "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" and the funky theme from "Grease."

"Capitol Collectors Series" (07/23/1996) Pop Vocal Mercer, Johnny, Capitol/EMI RecordsIncludes liner notes by Steve Kolanjian. Digitally remastered by Larry Walsh (February 1989, Capitol Recording Studios, Hollywood, California). Given that composer/lyricist/vocalist Johnny Mercer co-founded Capitol Records in the early 1940s, it's very fitting that one of his finest solo releases is entitled CAPITOL COLLECTORS SERIES. Although Mercer is best known as a songwriter, the Georgia native was a fine singer who used his deep voice, deft delivery, and innate Southern charm to wonderful effect, whether performing his own songs or other contemporaneous pop hits. This 20-track compilation of '40s studio sessions finds Mercer breezing through beloved originals, including the swinging "On the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe" and the dreamy "One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)." Mercer, however, is equally at home as an interpreter, as best revealed on an exuberant rendition of Johnny Burke and Jimmy Van Heusen's "Personality." Mercer's talent as a vocalist isn't so much underrated as it is relatively unknown, but this excellent collection provides ample evidence of his legacy as a recording artist.

"The Movie Song Album" (11/08/1988) Pop Vocal Bennett, Tony, Columbia (USA)Recording information: Columbia 30th Street Studios, New York, New York (1966). Bennett (or at least his manager) may have expected that he would follow Sinatra into the world of cinema, crossing over from singer to actor in his first dramatic role for the film "The Oscar." While Bennett's film career never took off, his hit song from that film ("Maybe September," the opener here) had the unexpected side effect of providing the impetus for this recording. Aided by conductors Johnny Mandel, Quincy Jones and Neal Hefti, Bennett tackles an entire album's worth of songs from films. While some tunes, like "Girl Talk" from the film "Harlow," seem somewhat arbitrarily chosen, THE MOVIE SONG ALBUM was no money-making knockoff job. The recording took four months to complete, an exceptionally long time for that period of the music business. On most tunes, the arrangers/conductors take the helm for their own compositions, adding a personal touch. Great jazz musicians like Jimmie Rowles, Tommy Flanagan and Zoot Sims spice up the orchestral arrangements, as does Luiz Bonfa, who adds his Brazilian guitar flavor to "Samba De Orfeu" and "The Gentle Rain." As for Bennett, well, all he has to do deliver the goods is just be Bennett, and that's exactly how it works out.

"Ancora" (01/24/2006) Pop Vocal Il Divo, Columbia (USA)Knowing how to strike while the iron is hot, the international all-male pop-opera revue Il Divo, assembled by AMERICAN IDOL's Simon Cowell, followed up its 2005 debut (and subsequent Christmas album) with yet another outing in early 2006. Here the dashing vocal quartet--Urs Buhler (Switzerland), Sebastien Izambard (France), Carlos Marin (Spain), and David Miller (U.S.)--stays true to its multi-lingual repertoire, offering up a suitably dramatic Spanish version of Eric Carmen's "All By Myself" ("Solo Otra Vez") and an English/French rendition of "I Believe in You" (with Celine Dion), among other numbers. While the arrangements on ANCORA are lush and majestic, they never overshadow the full, passionate voices of the foursome, who have clearly become used to working together as a powerful group.

"Come Fly With Me" (03/30/2004) Pop Vocal Buble, Michael, RepriseThis release includes a bonus DVD featuring backstage and interview footage, and concert performances from New York, London, Hollywood and South Africa. As with many emerging artists, Michael Buble is still developing a distinctive style of his own on COME FLY WITH ME. Regardless of that minor detail, what Buble does know is who he is as a performer, and what he wants to do with his considerable vocal talent. Reviving tunes made famous by artists such as Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Tony Bennett, Elvis Presley, and Bobby Darin, Buble sings each melody with a fetching blend of deep respect and fresh-faced enthusiasm. And he has got the chops to back it all up--Buble is blessed with a sleek, warm tone in the tradition of the aforementioned royalty, as well as an undeniable ability to swing. Coming out backed by a full big band with punchy arrangements is one of his secret weapons--the guy surrounds himself with many like-minded musicians of an extremely high caliber. Highlights include a lightly swaying "My Funny Valentine" and a rousing yet nuanced take on "Nice 'N Easy."

"Encore" (09/24/2002) Pop Vocal Watson, Russell, Decca (USA)Personnel includes: Russell Watson (vocals); Alistair Gordon, Steve Butler, Judith Abbot (background vocals); Royal Philharmonic. Producers: Russell Watson, Nick Patrick, Alistair Gordon. Includes liner notes by Bill Borrows. In 2001 this young British tenor became an international phenomenon with his platinum-plus debut album THE VOICE. With that blockbuster recording, he defined himself as the pop-opera crossover sensation of the 21st century. The appropriately titled follow-up ENCORE will likely be regarded with suspicion by those with their feet planted firmly in either the pop or operatic world. Those whose tastes fall somewhere in between are exactly the folks who've already made him a superstar, and it is for them that ENCORE was made. Watson tackled material by Ultravox and Simon & Garfunkel amid the arias on THE VOICE, so it's no great shock to hear him taking on the Joe Cocker hit "You are So Beautiful" and Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" (which sounds like it's been out there waiting for Watson for years). The really striking thing is how comfortable and convincing he sounds both on these pop-oriented tunes and on such operatic chestnuts as "O Solo Mio" and "Ave Maria." It's important to note that Watson did begin his career as a pop singer, but no one has ever straddled the great stylistic divide quite so successfully as he does on ENCORE.

"Hot August Night [Remaster]" (08/22/2000) Pop Vocal Diamond, Neil, MCA Records (USA)Personnel: Neil Diamond (vocals, guitar); Emory Gordy, Jr. (guitar, vibraphone); Richard Bennett, Danny Nicholson (guitar); Hyman Goodman, Jay Rosen, John deVoogdt, David Turner, Tibor Zelig, Samuel Boghossian, Myron Sandler, Sven Reher, Linn Subotnick, Marilyn Baker, Philip Goldberg, Jesse Ehrlich, Giacinto Nardulli, Salvatore Crimi, Henry Ferber, Beldassare Ferlazzo, Wilbert Nuttycombe, Shari Zippert, Walter Wiemeyer, Richard Kaufman (strings); Alan Lindgren (keyboards); Reine Press (bass); Dennis St. John (drums); Jefferson Kewley (percussion). Recorded live at the Greek Theatre, Los Angeles, California on August 24, 1972. Includes liner notes Karen Shearer. All tracks have been digitally remastered. In addition to his excellent skills as a songwriter, Neil Diamond is also known for his bold, often theatrical performance style. One glance at the cover of HOT AUGUST NIGHT--Diamond clothed in denim and Native American jewelry, with his hands hovering over his body, and an expression suggesting a trance of intensity--and the listener knows he or she is in for some serious performing. The pop icon delivers as expected; HOT AUGUST NIGHT, recorded in 1972 at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, documents the epic showmanship of a Neil Diamond concert. Listeners will certainly get their money's worth. Diamond's best-loved songs stuff the two-disc, 25-track set list--the ubiquitous "Sweet Caroline," the infectious "Song Sung Blue," et al, plus versions of "Red Red Wine" and "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon," which he wrote, but were also hits for others. An energetic backing band and a full string section complement the singer's impassioned performances, and an encore medley of "Soolaimon" and "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" brings the show to a fiery close. HOT AUGUST NIGHT remains one of Diamond's best-selling albums. Give it a listen and see why.

"The Very Best of Nat King Cole [Remaster]" (05/02/2006) Pop Vocal Cole, Nat "King", Capitol/EMI RecordsPersonnel: Nat "King" Cole; Harry "Sweets" Edison, The King Cole Trio. A single-disc anthology can't truly do justice to the many facets of Nat King Cole's career, but the superlative 28-track THE VERY BEST OF NAT KING COLE makes an air-tight case for the crooner as one of the greatest pop singers of the pre-rock-&-roll era. All of his hits are here, including his signature songs "Unforgettable," "Mona Lisa," and the truly mysterious yet lovely "Nature Boy," along with perhaps the definitive readings of the pop standard "Stardust" and the swing classic "Straighten Up and Fly Right." It's impossible to go wrong here.

"Judy at Carnegie Hall [Remaster]" (02/27/2001) Pop Vocal Garland, Judy, Capitol/EMI RecordsThis was first released as a single CD in 1987 with more than half of the original album edited off. Capitol has now restored the full 2-LP set on 2 CDs with some on-stage dialogue that was not included on the original album. Personnel includes: Judy Garland (vocals); Mort Lindsey (conductor). Producer: Andy Wiswell. Reissue producer: Paul Atkinson. Recorded live at Carnegie Hall, New York, New York on April 23, 1961. Includes liner notes by Scott Schechter. Digitally remastered by Bob Norberg. The sleeve note begins: 'On the evening of April 23, 1961, 3,165 privileged people packed the world famous Carnegie Hall beyond its capacity, and witnessed what was to be probably the greatest evening in show business history.' This souvenir of that remarkable occasion includes the complete concert, during which Judy Garland sang 26 songs and mesmerized the audience with her sensational all-round performance. The album won Grammys for album of the year, best female vocal performance, best engineering and best cover. It was in the US chart for 73 weeks, 13 of them at number 1.

"Definitive All-Time Greatest Hits" (10/05/2004) Pop Vocal Denver, John, BMG HeritageInitials pressings include bonus disc. Personnel include: John Denver (vocals, guitar); Emmylou Harris, Pl cido Domingo (vocals). Liner Note Authors: Milt Okun; David Wild; Milton Okun. Recording information: 1969 - 1983. Arranger: Lee Holdridge. The title of this collection by the Jesus of 1970s soft pop makes no bones about its intentions. Fortunately, it delivers what it promises in spades. DEFINITIVE ALL-TIME GREATEST HITS chronicles the hit-packed career of John Denver without missing a trick. From his earliest, most folk-oriented material ("Leaving on a Jet Plane," a hit for Peter, Paul & Mary) to his more country-flavored compositions ("Take Me Home, Country Roads," the stomp-along "Thank God I'm a Country Boy"), we're given a full picture of Denver's abilities. Early-'80s duets with Placido Domingo ("Perhaps Love") and Emmylou Harris ("Wild Montana Skies") underscore both the far-reaching ripples Denver made in the music world and the full range of his own gifts. Such gentle, melodic ballads as "Annie's Song" and "Sunshine on My Shoulders" are the distilled essence of what made '70s AM radio tick, and will elicit instant nostalgia for the era when Denver's brand of quiet, graceful songcraft reigned supreme. For the hardcore fan, a bonus disc includes previously unreleased versions of some of Denver's classic tunes.

"In the Wee Small Hours [Remaster]" (05/26/1998) Pop Vocal Sinatra, Frank, EMI-Capitol Entertainment Prop.Originally issued on CD without the song "Last Night When We Were Young." Personnel includes: Frank Sinatra (vocals); Nelson Riddle (arranger). Includes liner notes by Pete Welding. Digitally remastered by Larry Walsh (Capitol Recording Studios). Recorded in 1955, this superbly arranged and sung set of slow ballads can lay claim to being the world's first "concept album." Of course, in classical music, song cycles had been around since Schubert, but a whole set of pop tunes arranged around a central theme or mood was something new in popular music. With the advent of the LP in 1953, commercial pop music was beginning to take itself seriously. As to be expected, Frank Sinatra did it first and best. Sinatra is in utter command of this material--vocally relaxed yet focused on conveying what these hand-picked "torch" songs still have to say to the modern listener. Throughout he projects his signature manly vulnerability without seeming maudlin or even sentimental. The singer is helped immeasurably in this task by Nelson Riddle's deftly scored chamber arrangements which include brilliant use of celeste and guitar on several tracks (cf. Alec Wilder's "I'll Be Around", Kay Swift's "Can't We Be Friends".) A must for any listener even remotely interested in the Great American Songbook.

"Greatest Love Songs" (01/13/2004) Pop Vocal Humperdinck, Engelbert (Pop), Hip-O RecordsProducers: Dick Rowe, Peter Sullivan. Compilation producers: Bill Levenson. Recorded between 1967 & 1970. Despite this 2004 compilation's relatively general title, GREATEST LOVE SONGS is surprisingly sharply focused, zooming in simultaneously on both Engelbert Humperdinck's most romance-obsessed tunes and his 1967-'70 heyday. While the set features a number of the British-raised pop singer's hits, including the pleading "Release Me (And Let Me Love Again)," it also presents other lush, swooning, and lesser-known tunes by the beloved crooner ("The Shadow of Your Smile" is a particular stand-out). Although it doesn't top the more comprehensive ULTIMATE COLLECTION, GREATEST LOVE SONGS remains one of the finer Humperdinck anthologies available.

Studio Orchestra, The MGM Studio Chorus & Orchestra, The Mellomen, The Norman Luboff Choir. The Page Cavanaugh Trio: Page Cavanaugh (piano); Robert Morgan (guitar); Charles Parnell (bass). The Buddy Cole Quartet: Edwin Cole (piano); Vincent Terri (guitar); Phil Stephens (bass); Alvin Stoller (drums). Compilation producer: Didier C. Deutsch. Recorded between 1944 & 1966. Includes liner notes by Andrew Velez. Digitally remastered using 20-bit technology by Dawn Frank (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York). This two-CD set covers 22 years of Doris Day's work. It reveals a picture of a wide-ranging talent. Throughout the decades Doris Day has bestowed an unfaltering sensitivity on her recordings as she applied this talent to the wide range of material. One thinks of the sweet, nice girl she was typically cast as in film musicals and comedies of the '50s and '60s, but her singing provides a portrait of greater depth than her film work. From the outset of her career her vocals cast spells on the listener, as in "Sentimental Journey," where she amplifies the tune with dead-on definition. On light, fluffy novelties like "Pillow Talk" she belts out the material with cheer, while "Tacos, Enchiladas and Beans" is a perfect humorous synthesis of power and coyness.

"Back Home Again (RCA) [Remaster]" (06/07/2005) Pop Vocal Denver, John, BMG HeritageIncludes two bonus tracks. Personnel include: John Denver (vocals, 6-string guitar); Steve Weisberg (guitar, dobro, dulcimer); Jim Connor (banjo, harmonica, background vocals); John Sommers (banjo); Dave Jackson, Dick Kniss (bass instrument); Hal Blaine (percussion, background vocals); Jim Gordon (percussion); Julie Connor, Denny Brooks (background vocals). Liner Note Author: Barry Alfonso. Recording information: 1974. As the 1970s progressed, John Denver slowly moved away from the melancholy folk-singer mode that characterized his early albums and towards a brighter, more country-inflected sound. BACK HOME AGAIN crystallizes the latter phase, and consequently proved one of Denver's most commercially successful albums. In large part, this has to do with the fine batch of songs here, which includes the warm, comforting title track; the lazy, lilting "Cool an' Green an' Shady;" and the sprightly "Grandma's Feather Bed," which almost demands a group sing-along. As usual, however, Denver slips in some affectingly pensive unaccompanied moments. The tender "Sweet Surrender" and "This Old Guitar," a heartfelt tribute to his primary instrument, are among the finest tunes on BACK HOME AGAIN. But the record also contains the knee-slapping, full-band hoedown "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" and the highly romantic, string-sweetened ballad "Annie's Song," which became one of Denver's biggest hits. With its balance of fun, joyful tunes and lovely, introspective numbers, BACK HOME AGAIN elevated Denver to the height of his mid-'70s popularity.

"The Capitol Years [Box]" (11/06/1990) Pop Vocal Sinatra, Frank, Capitol/EMI RecordsCapitol Records, the label for which Sinatra recorded many of his greatest albums in the 1950's, commemorates the singer's 75th birthday with this 3-disc set. Of the 75 chronologically-arranged tracks, about half appear on CD for the first time. The set includes a 36-page booklet with full color photos. Reprise, the label which Sinatra founded in 1960 and still records for, has also released a 4-disc box set anthology. In millennia to come, if evidence is required to substantiate the claim that Frank Sinatra was the finest singer of the 20th century, the three-disc CAPITOL YEARS set should settle the case. For the countless listeners to whom Sinatra spoke so eloquently, he was confidante, drinking buddy, philosopher, confessor, therapist, and more, as both his voice and his interpretive artistry reached their full maturation during his mid-1950s-to-early-'60s tenure at Capitol Records. It's almost difficult to believe that the man voicing the assured elan of "I've Got the World on a String" is the same harried soul who takes himself to task in the haunting welcome-to-my-nightmare ballad "I'm a Fool to Want You." Nevertheless, both the sensual intimations of "Embraceable You" and the sassy invitation of "Come Dance with Me" are equally powerful, not least on account of the growing simpatico of the arrangements, courtesy of giants such as Billy May and Nelson Riddle. As overwhelming as the artistic heft of THE CAPITOL YEARS box may be, the fact that many of these tracks are previously unreleased alternate takes makes Sinatra's gift seem just that much more sui generis.

"Greatest Love Songs" (01/14/2003) Pop Vocal Jones, Tom, Hip-O RecordsPersonnel: Tom Jones (vocals); Les Reed, Johnny Scott, Charles Blackwell, Johnny Harris, Ken Woodman, Johnnie Spence, Gordon Mills (conductor). Producers: Peter Sullivan, Gordon Mills. Compilation producer: Bill Levenson. Recorded between 1965 & 1970. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Playing GREATEST LOVE SONGS on a romantic evening might be a good litmus test for prospective paramours. Whether they melt or run screaming will determine either a) their inability to resist the swaggering, dramatic vocals of Tom Jones or b) their inability to stand the swaggering, dramatic vocals of Tom Jones. This will, consequently, provide guidance for how to proceed with the prospective paramour. If said paramour goes gooey at the first swinging strains of "It's Not Unusual," a showcase for Jones's generous baritone and one of his first and best-loved hits, you can probably uncork the wine. Equally, if said paramour gets weak in the knees at Jones's stirring performance on slow burners like "My Foolish Heart" and "When I Fall in Love," light some candles. The sprightly feel of tunes like "Help Yourself" will provide a welcomed respite from tension, but if the paramour asks to be kissed during the passionate groove of "Love Me Tonight" (complete with mariachi horns) or the swelling orchestrations of "Can't Stop Loving You," you're in. Of course, if said prospective paramour runs screaming when you play GREATEST LOVE SONGS, good riddance. You've still got Tom Jones.

"Rocky Mountain High (RCA)" (02/17/1988) Pop Vocal Denver, John, RCA Records (USA)Recording information: 1972. Arrangers: Dick Kniss; Mike Taylor. ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH heightened John Denver's profile as one of the key folk singers of the 1970s. The record became the artist's first to hit the Top 10 on the strength of its expansive, memorable title track and an overall sound distinguished by a more fully fleshed band, including backing vocals, fiddle, and lap steel. As opposed to ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH's predecessor POEM, PRAYERS AND PROMISES, there is some percussion here as well. The album is suffused, in lyrical content and its earthy, folky sound, with a feel for open, outdoor spaces (which reflected the singer's growing environmental activism). Even Denver's choices of cover songs, which includes the Beatles' "Mother Nature's Son" and John Prine's "Paradise," feature pastoral imagery, as do his originals "For Baby (For Bobbie)" and the lovely, melancholic "Goodbye Again." The album's closing suite takes the listener on a musical journey from "Summer" to "Spring," and puts a cap on this '70s folk classic.

"Il Divo" (04/19/2005) Pop Vocal Il Divo, Columbia (USA)Il Divo: Carlos Marin, David Miller , Sebastien Izambard, Urs Buhler (vocals). Additional personnel: Mathis Venge (guitar, programming); Fridrick "Frizzy" Karlsson, Esbjorn Ohwall (guitar); Jannika Gustafsson (violin); Gavyn Wright (strings); Jan Bengtson (flute); Bengt Rosengren (oboe); Maj Widding (bassoon); Hans Larsson, Rolf Nyquist (French horn); Per Magnusson (piano, keyboards); Dave Arch, Kristofer Nergardh (piano); Steve Mac (keyboards, synthesizer); Andy Hill (keyboards); Tomas Lindberg (bass instrument); Chris Laws (drums); Frank Ricotti, Karl Thorsson (percussion); David Kreuger, Andreas Romdhane, Josef Larossi (programming); Emil Heiling, Anders Von Hofsten, Maria Diephuis, Linda Norrgard (background vocals). Recording information: Stockholm, Sweden; London, England (2004). Ensemble: Stockholm Session Strings. IL DIVO gives the classical/pop crossover a twist, via a quartet of singers whose vocal chops and model-like looks make them four times the heartthrob threat of predecessor Andrea Bocelli. Masterminded by AMERICAN IDOL's Simon Cowell, Il Divo resonates with an international appeal, thanks to the disparate backgrounds of Sebastien Izambard (France), Urs Buhler (Switzerland), Carlos Marin (Spain), and David Miller (United States). Further solidifying the pop quotient is the involvement of Britney Spears/Backstreet Boys producers Per Magnusson and David Krueger. Lush orchestral arrangements are applied to Spanish-language readings of Toni Braxton's "Unbreak My Heart (Regresa a Mi)" and Frank Sinatra's signature "My Way (A Mi Manera)," enhancing the romantic sweep of the originals. Although much of Il Divo's repertoire is performed in Spanish or Italian, the group also offers up the English-language tunes "Mama," "The Man You Love," and "Every Time I Look at You," which features swelling strings and light piano. As a bonus, the album includes a hidden track--an Italian version of "Unchained Melody," which is tailor-made for Il Divo's bold, dramatic phrasing.

"Live at the Greek" (11/30/2004) Pop Vocal Groban, Josh, ReprisePackage includes bonus DVD. Personnel: Bela Fleck. Recording information: 2004. LIVE AT THE GREEK should dispel any doubts about Josh Groban's enormous appeal. The CD/DVD combo documents the young singer's final stop of his 2004 tour at the historic Los Angeles venue, and demonstrates why he's earned the ear-splitting screams of adoring fans. Groban is a charismatic performer who wraps a powerful baritone voice in boyish charm, and shows keen instincts in selecting material that's ideally suited to his talents. This performance focuses mainly on selections from Groban's multi-platinum CLOSER album, including powerful accounts of "Oceano," "Remember When It Rained," and "Never Let Go," among others. But LIVE AT THE GREEK also showcases his range and versatility as in his versions of Paul Simon's "America" and Don McLean's "Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)," as well as a surprising cover of Linkin Park's "My December." (The latter two songs are available on the DVD portion only.) Groban contributes an exuberant drum solo (yes, drum solo) to "Canto Alla Vita," and the fine violin work of Lucia Micarelli is featured on "Mi Mancherai (Il Postino)." Fans will enjoy the DVD extras including a bonus performance of "Believe" (from the film THE POLAR EXPRESS) and a guest appearance by superstar banjoist Bela Fleck on "Alla Luce Del Sole."

"My Life: The Greatest Hits" (10/06/1998) Pop Vocal Iglesias, Julio, Columbia (USA)MY LIFE: THE GREATEST HITS includes several previously unreleased tracks. Producers include: Richard Perry, Ramon Arcusa, Rudy Perez, Albert Hammond, Phil Ramone. Includes liner notes by David Wild. Digitally remastered by Vlado Meller using 24-bit technology (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York). For those with a yearning to know Julio Iglesias beyond the U.S. celebrity duet hits with Willie, Diana, Dolly, Stevie et al., this two-CD retrospective makes for an excellent introduction. Throughout his career Iglesias has employed the same producer and engineer--Ramon Acusa and Carlos Alvarez respectively. For nearly two decades this team has perfected an ultra-sleek yet restrained Europop that travels extremely well. As might be expected it is the original Spanish language tracks comprising most of disc two on which Iglesias can unwind and really strut his stuff. Unlike most international singers, say Cesoria Evoria or even The Gipsy Kings, Julio is not a niche artist. And because he is a real popular singer, he can communicate genuine romanticism in a song, whether Spanish or English, that Placido Domingo, never mind the Three Tenors, can only dream of.

"Meet Me in Margaritaville: The Ultimate Collection" (04/15/2003) Pop Vocal Buffett, Jimmy, UTVThis collection contains 12 previously unreleased tracks including, 2 new songs, 6 alternate versions and 4 live recordings. Personnel: Jimmy Buffett (vocals, guitar); Peter Mayer, Mac McNally (vocals, gutiar); Jim Mayer (vocals, bass); Nadirah Shakoor, Tina Gullickson (vocals); Doyle Grisham (pedal steel guitar); Amy Lee, Tom Mitchell (saxophone); John Lovell (trumpet); Michael Utley (keyboards); Roger Guth (drums); Ralph McDonald (percussion). Producers include: Norbert Putnam, Don Grant, Jimmy Buffet, Michael Utley, Russ Kunkel. Compilation producers: Jimmy Buffet, Michael Utley. Recorded at Shrimp Boat Sound Studio, Key West, Florida; Seventeen Grand Recording, Nashville, Tennessee; Jupiter Recording, Jupiter, Florida. Includes a 32-page booklet with liner notes by Tom Corcoran. Jimmy Buffett had one gigantic pop hit back in 1977 with his ode to brain-drain, "Margaritaville." Buffett's laid-back combination of country, folk, and calypso also garnered him an huge cult following; his fans, dubbed Parrotheads, have helped him remain one of the top touring acts and a platinum-album creator for 25 years following his Top 10 hit. While many massively successful artists whose catalogue is overshadowed by one hit have been known to curse their fate, no one has embraced their hit with quite the zeal of the mellow Buffett, and indeed his latest double-CD collection is entitled MEET ME IN MARGARITAVILLE. Of course, the titular song is featured, as are Buffett's other minor hits (including underrated classics like "Come Monday"), many beloved fan favorites, and most importantly 10 brand new recordings. Eight of these revisit familiar Buffett songs, best of which is a rousing live version of "A Pirate Looks At 40." The remaining two are covers of the Fred Neil-penned "Everybody's Talking" and the Beach Boys' "Sail On Sailor," each perfectly suited to Buffett's voice and trademark island-flavored sound. MEET ME IN MARGARITAVILLE contains something for both Buffett's longtime fans and casual listeners who want a good collection of all the man's music in one place.
