4.0 out of 5 stars Megan and SMP Do It Again!, January 2, 2008

By	Broadway Joe (NY, NY) - See all my reviews

Megan Mullaly and her musical cohorts just keep getting better and better! Great singing, interesting material and arrangements, and top quality recording make this a fantastic, quirky and artistically rewarding experience for anyone who is tired of over produced, heartless crap. This is the real deal. I bought it for $12.97 at CD Baby.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great story songs, lovingly rendered, June 1, 2009

By	Colleen Wainwright "the communicatrix" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I will confess to two things up front: a deep-seated weakness for great cover songs and a longtime admiration of Megan Mullally's skill at handling them. (And, in the interests of completely full disclosure, I'm not only a friend of Ms. Mullally's, I designed the CD cover under her art direction.)

Biases aside, I believe that anyone who enjoys well-wrought tunifying--and especially those who appreciate the art of the "story" song--will love this album. It's a rich and eclectic mix of songs from a variety of genres, beautifully played and produced. Mullally's strong theater chops allow her to breathe new life into old standards, while her great ear for a good song (and exacting standards in general) mean top-notch range and product.

Frankly, nothing beats hearing Megan and the band in person, especially in a small, theater or boite-like setting. But this disk comes as close as a disk could. Great fun, over and over again.
