Just a lot of fun. William Finn's writing style is deep and pulls at your emotions (including humor!) without manipulating you. Even though you may already own different versions of the songs in this collection, it's worth it to hear them assembled and performed as they are in this collection.

This review is from: Make Me A Song-The Music of William Finn (Audio CD)

Under the dark clouds of the theatre strike in 2007, this show was put on off-Broadway and served as a silver lining to everybody having audience withdrawal. The selection of Finn's songs overlooks some more obvious successes and concentrates on the rich lyrics of less well-known pieces. The singers are syncopated and spirited and just right.

This recording captures the energy of the live show exactly. I think it actually sounds better than the night I saw it. The more I listen to this CD the more I love the songs. William Finn's writing makes great musical theatre. We find here that each song is crafted so well it can stand on it's own apart from it's show. There are also songs on here that haven't been recorded anywhere else, and I love the new combo of Sailing/Set Those Sails.

If you like any of William Finn's music or if you're new to his songs and looking for something to introduce you, Pick this up. It's well worth it!
