2.0 out of 5 stars A bit sirupy, funky, and just so-so!, January 2, 2007

This review is from: When Doves Cry: The Music of Prince (Audio CD)

Despite having such great vocalists as Holly Cole (Purple Rain, The Question of U)), Cassandra Wilson (When Doves Cry), Phil Perry (Diamonds and Pearls), Jimi Tunnel (Kiss, Baby I'm a Star), Tsiidi Le Loka (Nothing Compares 2 U), Loris Diran (Little Red Corvette), and jazz instrumentalists Greg Osby, Everette Harp, Benny Green, along with a host other jazz idioms, this CD just never seems to get off the ground.

This review is from: When Doves Cry: The Music of Prince (Audio CD)

Starting from the first track, this CD never seems to gain momentum and despite an all-star lineup and great musicianship, It just FAILS.... Another great ideal, with poor execution. Pass this one up...unless you are part of the Prince Cult. (definately a 1/2 star if it were possible)
