 Jackpot !!!

Judy Garland fans are bound to enjoy this fine two CD set of her hits recorded during her ten year contract with Capitol Records. Judy's voice is in excellent form throughout the two CDs; and the two CDs have tracks from all of Judy's record albums on the Capitol label.
Whether Judy is singing her signature song "Over The Rainbow;" songs from her usual repertoire such as "Swanee;" "You Made Me Love You;" "Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart" or less usual numbers like "Purple People Eater" and "Don't Rain On My Parade," Judy never misses a beat. Her strong, beautiful voice belts out every tune on these two CDs; and the listener will not be disappointed.
In particular, listen for a grand studio recording of "Over The Rainbow" with an elegant musical arrangement; a fine Judy's Olio medley; tracks from her two record album/two CD set entitled Judy at Carnegie Hall and an exceptional rendition of "Last Night When We Were Young." Actually, if truth be told, there's not a dud in the bunch. Judy makes every song into a type of symphony with a singular and unmistakable beauty.
The liner notes by Scott Schechter spell out which tracks come from which Judy Garland Capitol Records album; and the artwork is nicely presented as well.
Overall, Judy fans can't go wrong with this fine two CD set. If you like this I would also strongly suggest the three CD set entitled Very Best of Judy Garland: The Capitol Recordings 1955-1965.

 a fine overview from Garland's years with Capitol

Judy Garland recorded for the Capitol label between 1955 and 1965. During that period she made several wonderful albums (including "Miss Show Business" in 1955, "Judy" in 1956, and "That's Entertainment" in 1959). She also recorded several unreleased singles and demos, many of which are making their CD debut with this double-disc release.
Aside from her moviemaking days with M-G-M, this was probably her most fruitful creative partnership. The producers at Capitol perfectly understood her unique talents and assigned projects to her that were in keeping with what she was interested in at the time.
Garland was a great supporter of the little-known Broadway musicals. Only Garland would record "Sweet Danger" from the notorious flop KEAN. "The Worst Kind of Man" and "The Red Balloon" both come from her super-rare album The Letter.
Garland also performs the ultimate apologist ballad, "As Long As He Needs Me", from OLIVER! The role of Nancy was one that Garland displayed interest in playing on the stage, although with her hectic schedule it never quite happened. Kurt Weill's "It Never Was You" is another gorgeous ballad which Garland nails perfectly (and was later recycled for her final movie, I Could Go On Singing).
This disc is filled with the classic Judy numbers we all love, plus a handful of tantalising unreleased tracks. A very fine album indeed.

Judy's Back!!

Judy Garland, 1922 to 1969 - she is well known for her role as Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz.
This 2 CD set shows her in a new, to some, light: a mature song seller. Indeed she displays an extraordinary range of emoitions on this CD set from big belting numbers, Come Rain or Come Shine, What Now My Love?, When The Sun Comes Out to emoitonal ballads with heartache, Last Night When We Were Young, It Never Was You, with everything in-between. She tackles fun throwaway numbers such as Purple Eater and Don't Rain On My Parade, and very 60's type songs, How Long Has This Been Going On, and The Worst Kind of Man.
Each and every number sounds wonderful, as if she recorded them very recently. That ritch, wonderful voice fills each and every song as only she can. You can hear the change in her voice from the middle 50's to middle 60's. In the 50's tracks it is very full, round and powerful.
Towards the middle 60's some of that fullness is gone, but it's still Judy Garland. It's intresting to hear her on a few selections when she had thorat probelms such as the selections from Garland at The Grove - having heard about her voice not being great I was susprised to hear how wonderful it still was. Likewise her aborted Judy Takes Boradway album, the selections here show her to be still in wonderful voice, albeit husky.
The included booklet provides details on every song and what orginal album it is from. WIth a wonderful selection of songs, from classic Judy to different Judy this CD belongs in every Judy Garland fan's collection.
(On a side note The Letter is making it's CD debut THIS April) |

| Judy Garland- the Capitol Years, has become one of my favorite CDs. From obvious favorites like "Over the Rainbow", "Rock-a-Bye Your Baby", and "Swanne" to the more obscure "Sweet Danger", and the songs from "The Letter" and "Maggie May", this is a perfect Garland compilation. Perfect for long time fans of Judy and better yet, perfect for those who have never heard her sing before; you are in for a treat! |
