The Gershwin Songbook
Ella FitzgeraldOne of the greatest jazz vocalists of all time with some really great material. This album was SO warm and comforting. Kept it playing non-stop.

Love Sarah Vaughan but did not care much for this live album. Not a lot of her best standards and the sound quality was not the best.
I've never listened to a Dolly Parton album before. But this album was thoroughly enjoyable. Not a big country music fan but the sound is that of the "old Country" music from the 70's that I remember. Love her voice and love many of the songs such as "Coat of Many Colors", "She Never Met a Man", and "A Better Place to Live". Great listen!!!!
Some good songs on this album.
Sometimes you just aren't in the mood. Unfortunately for this album, I just wasn't in the right head space to have much appreciation for a full 60+ minutes of jazz piano.
This was a 90's album and band that I missed out on. After the first listen to this album I was not impressed. Was opening up to it after a second listen. Boy am I glad that I gave it a couple more spins because each listen had me feeling it more and more!! For some reason they remind me of Arcade Fire but not quite. Really enjoyed this album and will keep in my rotation..
Was not feeling this album at all. Not a single song...

Really enjoyed this album. Not a bad song. Jack and Meg have an almost minimalistic sound that is somehow funky and full-bodied at the same time.
This album totally snuck up on me!! After the first listen I was somewhat interested. But, like most of the albums that have become sacrosanct to my soul, the more I listened to this album, the more I HAD to listen to it. Again and again. Melodic and soulful. Moody and poignant. It almost shames me that I did not know who this guy was. Absolutely love this!!
This album is the epitome of the R&B/hip-hop/neo-soul sound of the very early 2000's. While it was probably enjoyable at the time, the sound is VERY dated. Just couldn't get into it.
Great album. More than a few quintessential 80's classics on here.
I know this sound. There are plenty of other 90's groups that I love that have this sound. Unfortunately for "this group" and "this album" they don't seem to do it as well. Or maybe they're falling victim to not getting me at the right moment....because in this moment I REALLY am not feeling it.....
Gave this album quite a few listens. Really wanted to like it but this album did not do much for me. There was some good stuff on this but it never came together for me.
Nice.
This album is that old gospel/soul sound that I used to hear on R&B dusty radio on Sunday afternoons back in the 80's. That 60's soul sound from Atlantic records that was more earthy and gritty than the Motown sound that was blowing up.
Did not hate this album. But also not really impressed. Live albums can be a tricky introduction to an artist because very rarely is a live version as good as (or captures the essence) of the original studio recording that many fans fall in love with. I have a feeling with this artist and album I would probably like the studio versions much better. Sorry Peter....
Nope.
Good album. Took a few listens to get into it.
Nope.....B side is better than the A side but that ain't saying much. Not my cup of tea...
