This review is from: Cybill Does It.... to Cole Porter (Audio Cassette)

This recording is very well done. I never listened to Cybill Shepherd's music before and I was surprised by how much I liked it. After the rush of celebrity that came with "The Last Picture Show," Cybill (as well as her former boyfriend, director Peter Bogdanovich) could do no right after that. It's a fact of human nature that we like to build our icons up and then take terrible delight in knocking them down. When the dust settled, what we're left with is a great album. As far as this Cole Porter collection is concerned, Cybill is a talent of the first rate.

Backed by a terrific, spirited orchestra, Cybill is also joined by a talented, though uncredited, male vocalist on the "But In the Morning, No" segments. Bogdanovich "directed and produced" the album, and veteran pop producer and arranger Artie Butler arranged and conducted the orchestra. Cybill does true justice to the flirtatious number "Let's Do It" and radically re-interprets "Anything Goes" as a ballad as opposed to the up-tempo theatrical piece we all know it as.

Program:

"Let's Do It"
"But In the Morning, No (Riding)"
"My Heart Belongs To Daddy"
"But In the Morning, No (Figures)"
"Kate the Great"
"But In the Morning, No (Football)"
"Anything Goes"
"Give Him the Oo'la'la"
"But In the Morning, No (Poker)"
"Always True To You In My Fashion"
"Let's Misbehave"
"But In the Morning, No (Market)"
"Brush Up Your Shakespeare"
