4.0 out of 5 stars Another winner for Ally or Vonda fans, November 15, 1999

This review is from: Heart And Soul: New Songs From Ally McBeal Featuring Vonda Shepard (Television Series) (Audio CD)

Though not as overly catchy as the first "Ally McBeal" soundtrack, which boasted superb remakes of "Walk Away Renee," "You Belong to Me," and "Tell Him" (the latter of which proved to be a fan favorite at Vonda concerts), "Heart and Soul: New Songs from Ally McBeal" proves to be another pleasant listening experience. Remakes of the Supremes' "Someday We'll Be Together" and Don McLean's "Vincent" are standouts, and a remake of Lulu's "To Sir With Love" (here, a duet with Al Green) is worth the price of admission all on its own. Another bonus is a complete reworking of "100 Tears Away," a song from Vonda's 1991 sophomore release. Unfortunately a couple of really great covers made for the show were overlooked (the Pointer Sisters' "Fire" and Carly Simon's "Anticipation") and three songs from Vonda's last release, "By 7:30" is a bit much for fans who already own that work. Still, after she spent years recording and performing great music to little acclaim or attention, it's great to see Vonda Shepard still riding the crest of her much-deserved popularity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of 3...., May 24, 2001

This review is from: Heart And Soul: New Songs From Ally McBeal Featuring Vonda Shepard (Television Series) (Audio CD)

I go way back with Vonda Shepard, and I started watching "Ally" when I read an early piece that talked about her music and the old pop standards favored by David Kelly. "Heart & Soul" was fine, and the 3rd CD is just starting to grow on me (Sting & Al Green on the same CD? How could it fail?). But this is my favorite and the only one I rate a 5. The "soul" of the pieces drills through the whole effort, with the key songs being "Crying" (better than Don McLean, not quite up to Roy Orbison's falsetto) and a new effort, "Baby Don't You Break My Heart Slow" with heartbreaking harmony between Vonda and Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls. Woven together well, a collection of old songs made new by Shepard, with her lush voice and excellent song backdrops. Great CD for a long trip!

Fans of Motown - particularly The Supremes - run, don't walk to buy this album. Vonda's version of "Someday We'll Be Together" totally ROCKS! You won't be disappointed.
