Two gals today - well, two and half if you count Barry Gibb I suppose...
First up is Judith Owen, from last Saturday's show at Playhouse Sqaure. The CD is Lost & Found, and it features the two songs she performed at the show. The "hit", Train Out Of Hollywood, features the wonderful Keb'Mo on guitar, which is a nice inclusion.
The other CD I need to acknowledge is Guilty Pleasures, the newest collaboration between Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb. A follow-up to the wildly successful Guilty (Barbra's number one selling album) this one pays homage to the cover by dressing the pair in black instead of white. Someone really should have done something about the effect time has had on Barry's hair. It's extremely unattractive.
I popped for the DualDisc, of course, being taken in with the promise of DVD video of the songs - well, they are not "videos", they are re-creations of recording the songs. And there is a lot of fawning talk. Barbra looks wonderful, to be sure, but the whole package is less than thrilling. (you can check out a video clip at the Amazon site)
My review? They might still be guilty, but there is minimal pleasure.
