This review is from: Why Should I Care / I'll String Along With You (Audio CD)

I like his movies and that is how I got here. The movie, True Crime was ok as Eastwood movies go. I enjoyed it enough to buy a used copy of it. But what "made my day" was this song. As the credits rolled, a good movie became fantasmic! This subtle tune began to flow through my speakers and I found myself entranced! I searched the credit list for the song and there it was. Diana Krall. Who? I had never heard of her. I am not a real jazz fan or should I say I wasnt but that all changed when I bought a copy of the album with a bonus track... this song. As I listened and read hte liner notes, Written by Clint Eastwood... HUH? I was thrilled. It is a mainstay in my car cd collection. That is a place reserved for only the cds I play all the time. She sits with pride in the first cd sleeve. And she has a new fan. Thanks Clint for writing a fantastic song! 5 STARS!

5.0 out of 5 stars See the video at the beginning of True Crime, October 6, 1999

This review is from: Why Should I Care / I'll String Along With You (Audio CD)

I first heard Diana Krall at the beginning of the movie True Crime. Her voice was arresting. Her interpretation so masterfully controlled. Her vocal quality so finely textured, it is hard to describe. It isn't that she uses great vocal or dynamic range. She might have range, but she doesn't show off. The word subtle isn't subtle enough to describe that voice. She's clearly of the minimalist, less is more school. Maybe like Diana Ross in Good Morning Heartache, or Lauren Wood in Fallen, or Joni Mitchell in Edith and the Kingpin. If she were a wine she would be a dry sherry, neither a heavy port nor a light chablis. If she were a dessert she would be a tiramisu, not completely untextured like a pudding, nor crunchy like a cobbler. You could call her voice silky, in the sense that real silk pulls at your hand, doesn't just glide by like satin. Closer to home, if she were an operatic soprano she would be a lyric, not a dramatic. My vocal coach said that singing is all in the mind. Then, you can hear her thinking. She thinks about and extracts meaning from each phrase.

It was a pleasant surprise to learn that Clint Eastwood did the music for Why Should I Care. It is a sultry bluesy tune, not demanding of range. But what Ms. Krall does to enhance its classic lines and to distinguish repeated phrases must be heard.

2.0 out of 5 stars NOT the Clint Eastwood song . . ., February 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Why Should I Care / I'll String Along With You (Audio CD)

The song on this CD is "I Should Care", not "Why Should I Care?", the Clint Eastwood song described in an earlier review. I just received it and it wasn't at all what I expected. This is the only complete song on the CD, and it was not the one I specifically ordered this for. It only has very short snippets of "The Look of Love" and "Cry Me a River. This is just a Borders Books sampler CD with poor sound quality. Ordered it "used", although it was actually an unopened sample CD, and didn't pay much, but with shipping, it was a lot more than it is worth.
