Lockdown Listen Day 28 (10/08/2021)
Day 28 of Lockdown Listen yesterday saw us digesting a whole bunch of CDs:
54. Jason Mraz - Beautiful Mess: Live on Earth (Atlantic)
55. The Best of Roberta Flack (Atlantic)
56. Songbirds: The Essential Album (Manteca)
57. F. R. David - Songbook (EQ Music)
Jason Mraz's 2009 release "Beautiful Mess: Live on Earth" is one of the best concert CD plus DVD sets you could ever own. It was recorded on August 13, 2009, at the Charter One Pavilion in Chicago. This is as close as you can get to his outstanding live concerts without being physically there. Even more so now while we're are under lockdown. Every track on this album is a gem whether you are watching the DVD or just listening to the CD. Nothing messy about it, it's just beautiful, whether you are on earth or are flying around in space.
The most beautiful thing about Roberta Flack is her tenderness and restraint on every track on this more than perfect compilation. This is a must have for all music lovers and also upcoming singers or even experienced singers who want to learn a thing or two. Enough said.
The nearly 20 year old "Songbirds: The Essential Album" which was released in 2002 is a 2-disc compilation of some of the finest female singer-songwriters of the last fifty years. Among the many notables are Emylou Harris, Sinead O Connor, Sara Mclachlan, Lisa Loeb, Joan Armatrading, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Shawn Colvin. The youngest among them, Lene Marlin from Norway is 41 currently while the oldest, Norma Waterston from England is 82. "Songbirds" with its diverse selection of stellar tracks is definitely an excellent addition to your music collection.
Middle-aged listeners may be familiar with Tunisian French singer-songwriter F. R. David's 1983 hit song "Words" but probably with nothing else. The song sold 8 million copies worldwide and reached #2 on the UK charts. David's "Songbook" here is a soothing 2-disc synth-pop compilation of his original and also cover songs which is presented in his unique high pitched but gentle singing style. It's easy on the ear, melodic and instantly relaxing.
Find them all at all popular streaming services.
