CD Reviews

Van Dyke Parks, Jimmy Webb, and Carly -- A SoCal Dream Team!
Todd and In Charge | Miami, FL | 05/16/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is an offbeat Carly record, but one that grows on you. The inspired pairing of Carly, Jimmy Webb, and Van Dyke Parks help to create memorable soundscapes, intended to evoke the tone and mood of classic film noir.



While this is very interesting for a few songs, I find that the record lags a bit by the time it is finished. Also, Carly's voice is somewhat more mannered than usual, in keeping with the theme of the record.



Still, this cd is full of highlights and fantastic moments, with lush, sophisticated arrangements and sweeping, deeply-felt vocals and performances.



It is well-worth picking up before it goes out of print."
Film Noir is fantastic.

"This is my second one of this disc. I played the other one so much over the course of 7 years, it was time to replace it. If you like torch singers, Ms. Simon should rank fairly close to the top of your list of favorites."
