The Movie Album [2 CD] by Neil Diamond

The Movie Album As Time Goes By [2 CD] by Neil Diamond Neil Diamond.

His music was always familiar and comforting. His voice always happily recognizable, and his style unique. On "The Movie Album", he gives us six decades of films most memorable songs. His still same comforting familiar voice combined with an 80 piece Orchestra, led by Elmer Bernstein, who knows a thing or two about movie music (Remeber "The Magnificent Seven") puts Diamond in a new class. In a switch from his regular upbeat soft rock, he dares to do new renditions of songs done magnifcently by The Beatles, Elton John, Doris Day, Elvis Presley, and even Sinatra. Just to mention a few,theres "As Time Goes By","My Heart Will Go On",and"The Way You Look Tonight".(For a Complete list of songs, see the buying info).He and the orchestra are wonderful together. He pays homage to all these greats. I am a big film fan(most of my reviews are DVDs), and these songs bring back some great memories.If you need something to put you, (or someone you know), "in the mood", or just want to hear Neil's great voice to some familiar tunes,to help get you through the humdrum of the day...This is it! It is a two disc album, 20 songs in all, and comes with a booklet,with all the credits, pictures of the recording sessions,and a short letter from Neil Diamond.Sounds Great!
