Okay, what's with this Partial Album crap? What harm would
it have done to include Killing The Blues along with the rest
of the tracks? Or is it just an evil plot to make Apple charge $10.89
for an incomplete album, instead of the usual $9.99 for the whole
thing?
Okay, rant over. (At least until my next entry.) Because whether
complete or not, I love this album. Shawn Colvin's minimalist
approach does wonders for the songs she covers here. Especially
Every
Little Thing (He) Does Is Magic, which she gives a breathy,
slightly rushed and sexy delivery that Sting never managed. I liked
it so much, I used that track on my first mix CD, which I've partially
recreated as
my
very first iMix.
But I digress. (Big surprise, if you've spent any time here.) The
point is that this is an experiment and something of a risk. Where
Colvin's other albums show off her skill both as songwriter and
performer, here her singing stands alone. And it does so gloriously.
