4.0 out of 5 stars Another Almost Great Collection!!, July 28, 2003

For the life of me, I can't figure out why collections like these always seem to have a "lemon" in the soup. There are, of course, lots of surprises in this collection, and it's definitely worth keeping if you love this kind of music. But the inclusion of Bryan Ferry to sing "These Foolish Things" was next to criminal. He really doesn't understand the composer's intent, and the style he uses to sing the tune is not supposed to be "pop" by contemporary standards. It's an "old classic" with a supposedly "old classic style." Who knows, maybe they wanted to give this guy a break into this collection. It didn't work for me, though.

Then there are the very nice surprises - Jimmy Durante, Carly Simon, Sinead O'Connor, who, by the way, sings an incredibly sultry version of "I Want to be Loved By You." Maybe she missed her calling and should've recorded other tunes of this genre. Jimmy Buffett did "Stars Fell on Alabama" justice, and it was a refreshing change from his popular style.

A nice display of talent. Just skip over Bryan Ferry!!!

Norah Ephron and her colleagues did a first class job with the original soundtrack of "Sleepless in Seattle" and have kept up the same high standard with the current release of "More Songs for Sleepless Nights"
An excellent selection for easy listening.
