5.0 out of 5 stars The Definitive Linda Eder Collection..., February 1, 2000

...and one of the best pop albums EVER. A lesser artist would be spreading herself too thin with the wide variety of styles on this album, but not this singer. From the Sinatra-esque "It's Time" to the zany novelty of "Don't Ask Me Why" or the simple, heartbreaking "Candle in the Window", Eder has the pipes and the actor's instinct to make it all work. All of the above were penned by LE's husband, composer Frank Wildhorn and lyricist Jack Murphy and are instant standards, great melodies wedded to ingenious words. Although their later works have started to sound oddly similar to one another, this is Wildhorn-Murphy at their most inspired, anyone saying otherwise must be impossible to please. And fortunately, they also had the good sense to round this CD out with material from other sources: a perfect "Over the Rainbow" that reveres Judy Garland without imitating her and an utterly amazing rendition of "Unusual Way" which starts out in a mournful mezzo and soars up into some uncharted soprano heaven. "How DOES she DO that?" a classical voice teacher once asked me. Her voice is that miraculous. I don't know what criteria or push the Grammy's would have needed to have considered this for a best album nomination when it came out, but it definitely deserved it. It easily ranks with the best of Streisand and surpasses everybody else. I could go on and on, so just be smart and BUY IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Move over Streisand!, February 23, 2000

If you thought Streisand was good, get prepared to hear great! I had the privilege of seeing and hearing Linda Eder in Jekyll and Hyde before it hit Broadway. Wow! I was amazed at this absolutely beautiful voice and talent. I became an instant fan. I own all of her CDs and this is my favorite, other than the soundtrack of Jekyll and Hyde. You will be blown away by her performance of Man of La Mancha. That song plus Over the Rainbow and Someone Like You is enough to buy this CD, but being the special entertainer she is, Linda Eder delivers on every song. If you are a Linda Eder fan or just getting to know her, this is the CD you should own!

It's Time gives Linda Eder the opportunity to show her amazing octave range. The title song alone is worth the purchase price.
