This review is from: Second Barbra Streisand Album (Audio CD)

I have always been a huge fan of Barbra Streisand. I love anything she has ever recorded, but like most Barbra fans, I especially have a fondness for her 1960's material; "The Second Barbra Streisand Album" is one of my favorites.
Recorded in just four days in 1963, "The Second Barbra Streisand Album" did not produce a hit single, but managed to go all the way to #2 on the Billboard Album Chart. As of 2010 the record as gone Gold selling over 500,000 copies.
This CD is filled with gems such as "Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home", "Down With Love", "Lover, Come Back To Me", "Right as the Rain", and "My Coloring Book".
Like all her sixties albums, "The Second Barbra Streisand Album" consists of songs that are known as standards, songs that were made famous on Broadway.
If you enjoy this CD you will also love "The First Barbra Streisand Album", "People", "Color Me Barbra", and "Simply Sreisand".

This review is from: Second Barbra Streisand Album (Audio CD)

There is a certain feeling some of the great artists give. It is a joy one feels they have at doing what they are doing. Streisand is in any case an especially 'live' singer. Her voice is always moving and changing, bringing out time and time again unexpected nuances of feeling. Its beauty is unquestionable but it is given an extra dimension by the dramatic character of her singing. She acts the songs in her singing of them.
The album includes the following songs:
1)Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home
2. Right as the Rain
3. Down With Love
4. Who Will Buy?
5. When the Sun Comes Out
6. Gotta Move
7. My Coloring Book
8. I Don't Care Much
9. Lover, Come Back to Me
10. I Stayed Too Long at the Fair
11. Like a Straw in the Wind

In general this is a very upbeat album, but I especially enjoyed the lamenting, longing inspirational quality of 'I stayed too long at the fair'.
I first listened to this album close to the time of its original production over forty years ago. It is still wonderful today. A classic.
