Advantages: Includes the most famous songs recorded by her Disadvantages: Only for classic jazz/blues fans.
..., I believe, still had the best years of her recording career to come.
We find the very best range of blues, jazz and rhythm and blues on this album. The haunting 'Smoke Gets In Your Eye's' opens this unique album closely followed by two Cole Porter classic's 'Every time We Say Goodbye' and 'I Get A Kick Out Of You,' which was a bigger hit for Frank Sinatra. We will find just about all the songs on this album recognisable from somewhere, either from other artists or from films, musicals and soundtracks of old and new. The timeless, 'MadAbout The Boy,' has become a track that has captured the true spirit of DinahWashington in many ways. Her ability to create a mood of a song just by tuning her own mood into the lyrics. Her vocal, dropped and the diva becomes translucent as she appears to blend in with the accompaniment...

...I bought this album the soundtrack for about a boy by badly drawn boy after watching the film as the music was catchy.
I had never really taken notice of BDB (Badly drawn boy) before, maybe because his music style is really of the norm.
Although this album is very enjoyable indeed the songs seem to be a mixture of country rock and really anything else that goes you may be surprised a few songs into the album.
Track 12 exit stage right" is a small piano introduction to set the unusual but great tone of this album.
Track 2 "a peak you reach" is an upbeat funky number that you can easily jig to while driving or reading, its a Beatty number with a good guitar sound entwined.
Track 3 "something to talk about" to is the diamond of the album and very original, it is catchy for a slower song and the words are thoughtful, if you have...

Advantages: Some great catchy tracks Disadvantages: The inevitable short tracks that come with a soundtrack
...Firstly, can I please ask people not to be disappointed by the tracks such as Exit Stage Right and Dead Duck and the likes because this is the unaviodable downside of a soundtrack- there are bound to be "pointless" very short pieces. The soundtrack is still well worth owning because of the meaningful tracks such as A Peak You Reach, Something To Talk About and Above You, Below Me. Not only did Badly Drawn Boy achieve his probably aim to write songs perfectly for the film but at the same time these songs are great to listen to whether you have seen the film or not. This was my introduction to Badly Drawn Boy and based on it I would not only encourage others to buy it but also to get some of Badly Drawn Boy's other work.
In conclusion, for a usual album this would be very good, for a soundtrack it is the best I've heard :)...
