Editorial Reviews

This was the very essence of the baddest, sexiest, flamboyant lady of all time, on and off the stage and screen. She was a man-teaser, a witty, larger-than-life personality who became a legend in her own life-time. No publicity agent, no movie mogul or theatrical impresario created this exotic image - it was achieved entirely by the lady herself, through her own natural talents, by dogged persistence and hard work laced with just a small measure of good luck. The little that hindered her determination to get exactly what she wanted, she turned to her own advantage. She thought and cared only about herself. "My ego is breakin' records," she once declared. About the public love affair she carried on with herself, she was once heard to remark, "I see myself as a classic. Who else can do what I'm doin' and look the way I look?" Who else, indeed? Sex and men were dominant factors in her life, on the stage and screen, and off. When off, she spent a considerable amount of time making her men 'comfortable', and there were plenty of them. They were drawn to her like moths to a flame.

This review is from: I'm No Angel [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED] (Audio CD)

This CD is one of the few recordings currently in print which contains Mae West's music and it certainly does not disappoint.

The first six or so tracks are commercial recordings of the songs featured in Mae's 1930s films (they are longer and slightly different than what's on the movie soundtrack). But from then on, all the songs are taken directly from the soundtracks of those films, so if you are a fan of Mae West movies and enjoy the music she sings in them, the songs are here on CD just as they are in the movies and you will be delighted with them.

People who only know Mae West from the 'Myra Breckinridge' phase of her career (not only the movie but Mae's "comeback" albums of the 60s and 70s) should know that the music from that era is not on this CD. This CD is Mae West at her commercial and artistic peak, the 1930s and early 1940s.

My favorite tracks include "They Call Me Sister Honky Tonk," "Easy Rider," "When a St. Louis Woman Comes Down to New Orleans," and especially "I Found a New Way to Go to Town." All great honky tonk numbers, all pure Mae West.

This CD is a must for all Mae West fans. Get it before it becomes unavailable.
