A CD WITH TWO GREAT SONGS, August 22, 2004
This review is from: Anne Murray/Glen Campbell/Danny's Song (Audio CD)
IN MY OPINION, "CANADIAN SUNSET" WAS THE GREATEST SONG OF THE ENTIRE TWENTIETH CENTURY. AND THE BEST VOCAL VERSION OF THAT SONG IS THE ONE DONE BY ANNE MURRAY AND GLEN CAMPBELL. THEY ARE ACCOMPANIED BY A GREAT SOUNDING ORCHESTRA AND BOTH OF THEIR VOICES BLEND WELL TOGETHER. THE OTHER GREAT SONG ON THIS CD IS THE MEDLEY "I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER / BY THE TIME I GET TO PHOENIX". THESE TWO LOVE SONGS BLEND SO WELL TOGETHER. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CD TO ANYONE.

Duets album plus Danny's song album, December 23, 2003
This review is from: Anne Murray/Glen Campbell/Danny's Song (Audio CD)
The first album is a collection of duets with Glen Campbell (a particularly interesting combination of voices) and features several interesting songs. The medley of By the time I get to Phoenix (sung by Glen) and I say a little prayer (sung by Anne) is clever, but it doesn't quite work for me. The remainder of the album is much better, including fine versions of Canadian sunset, United we stand, Ease your pain and Let me be the one.
The second album, Danny's song, contains five studio tracks followed by five live tracks. To my ears, the five studio tracks are the best on this entire CD. They include Danny's song (one of Anne's own classics), Killing me softly with his song (a song that was written after it's writer had seen a Don McLean concert) and He thinks I still care (a cover of the old George Jones country classic, She thinks I still care, adapted for Anne). The live cuts include versions of songs that Anne had already recorded studio versions of. One of them, Ease your pain, also appears on the Glen Campbell duets album that makes up the other half of this CD.
There is plenty of great music to listen to here, though these are not among the strongest albums that Anne recorded during her long and distinguished career.

Simply Great, November 25, 2007
This review is from: Anne Murray/Glen Campbell/Danny's Song (Audio CD)
The signature series of Anne Murray and Glen Campbell is simply delightful.
I remember first listening to this album on tape way back in 1989 and fell in love with the recording. The intertwining of two great artists when they were much younger, is evident in the kind of music that was of a different genre altogether.
It is great that Amazon reissued the CD combined with two albums, making this pick really worth it.
