Advantages: Lots of excellent cover versions Disadvantages: A few mundane tracks
Vonda Shepherd is back, this time with her selection of songs (mainly cover versions) from the second series of Ally McBeal. To be fair it is a pretty decent album.
An interesting transistion from the album which accompanied the first series is that this album is geared more towards Shepherd than the show. She appears a great deal more on the album sleeve and inlay card than on the first album, although on occasion she does share space with Calista Flockhart. Again most of the songs are covers, but Shepherd has an upbeat sound all of her own.
Perhaps it serves to show that Shepherd is as vital to the show as any actor/actress now. Her songs frame the story, but they are excellent in their own right. ?Vincent?, ?Crying? and ?What Becomes of the Brokenhearted? are probably the best tracks on the album, but it is one you can listen to ...
Advantages: Original songs by Vonda Disadvantages: Too many covers
Heart and soul is the second soundtrack from the TV show Ally McBeal. And it has to be said has some better songs on it than its predecessor. They're mainly heart rending songs with beautiful lyrics written by Vonda shepherd the musical star of the show. And some cover versions of mainly older classic songs such as Starry Starry night, Someday we'll be together, To sir with love, Crying and What becomes of the broken hearted.
This album is made for fans of the show who have heard them playing in the background of the scenes or hopeless romantic who need a nice slow tune to settle down with on their sofa. I would recommend the first Ally McBeal album for them as well, because this also has some lovely songs on it. ...
Advantages: Very easy listening and signing music Disadvantages: Don`t just listen once to it
When the hit programme "Ally McBeal" was imported onto U.K. T.V. a few years ago I was stunned to hear the music and in particular the singer who featured less prominently then than she does now.I couldn`t wait for the credits to roll at the end of the show to find out her name-VondaShepard.
I am no youngster but I do have varied tastes in music and I was truly captivated by her amazing voice.I always consider it a special day when I have "discovered" another favourite singer or group and VondaShepard is now one of those few that are allowed air-time on my car cassette deck!
She has made two albums featuring tracks from the show and following these successes came out with "By 7:30" in mid 1999.I have to admit to being a little disappointed at first with a few of the tracks but it really grows on you after a while and it is now ...
