5.0 out of 5 stars This old broad can sing rings around the rest!, August 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Now & Then (Audio CD)

Having seen Clairborne Cary do her cabaret act in L.A. twice, I became an instant fan. She can by turns sound a bit like Doris Day or Barbra Streisand or Julie Wilson. Listening to this album of songs recorded but stored under her bed until the 90s, and the new songs she recorded in 95 it is interesting to hear the change in her voice from young Broadway ingenue to the husky, smoky sound of a dame who's been around the block. NOBODY CAN SING "RIBBONS DOWN MY BACK" or "I DON'T WANT TO PLAY IN YOUR YARD/MEAN TO ME" BETTER, AND HER "MUSIC MACHINE" IS A RIOT! For the time being I will enjoy hearing this album for the 6th or 7th time this week!

5.0 out of 5 stars Underrated and oh so wonderful!, July 29, 2002

This review is from: Now & Then (Audio CD)

I only recently discovered Claiborne Cary. If Diana Krall is overrated, Claiborne Cary is truly underrated. Her style and phrasing are perfect. A great album. I recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clay's brilliant recording, July 3, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Now & Then (Audio CD)

Claiborne Cary's Now and Then recording should be considered a classic. The mix of songs sung in her younger years, along with, more contemporary recordings, indicate brilliance of an artist and two stages of life. Of course, seeing her live is a real treat and spectacle. Totally underappreciated by the masses, Ms Claiborne Cary remains a favorite of those in the know. Let's spread the word... Trolley Song and Come Rain or Come Shine are Grammy-worthy recordings!
