CD Reviews

Not your average old-folks church choir

Paul Seaman | Concord, CA (SF Bay Area) | 03/11/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I saw "Young@Heart" last year -- and I'm a "Die-Hard" and "Hotel Rwanda" kind of guy... But I found this movie such an unexpected joy. Authentic and touching and at least some of the pop songs they cover could stand on their own right, notably Coldplay's "Fix You" (from "X & Y"). So I was eager to get the original soundtrack when it came out. Alas, they seem to have released the DVD, but not the score separately. I was hesitant to buy this compilation without previewing it, but the risk was well-rewarded. This is NOT a novelty album. Sure, it's old people singing covers of pop songs, but at its worst it's no more syrupy than "We Are the World" and at its best you get, well... a truly inspired rendition of Coldplay's "Fix You." And some other nicely done rock classics, all the more poignant to listen to knowing that several of the performers died shortly after these recordings. See the movie! I think it might be hard to fully appreciate this album without that context."

"I could not agree more -- this soundtrack reflects the tender genius of a hardworking group of elders in Northampton, Mass. -- a very diverse and liberal college town. Their choral director is masterful in his choice of music, interpretation and sheer passion for the singers' and their art. The documentary has compelled me to look up the original versions of these songs because of the touching delivery and power of the YAH chorus. Can't recommend "Fix You" more highly, esp.

Get both -- the documentary, which will tear at your heart and also thrill you with pride in these elders and their great accomplishments -- including a couple of mean James Brown-like performances, and the CD. You will be richly rewarded.

"

Absolutely awesome!

"First, watch the Young@Heart DVD. You will laugh and cry. Second, purchase this CD. It is not a soundtrack of the movie, but some of the songs from the movie are here. Most are even better! Then for alternative versions of a few songs, and a soundtrack of the movie, purchase the 2-CD import of "Young at Heart". It contains songs from this CD and from the download-only "Soundtrack". Rhino should have 1) put "Soundtrack" on CD by itself like they did this CD, and 2) made the two CD set contain all of the songs of "Mostly Live" and "Soundtrack". To hear a sweet English 93 year old lady singing "Ruby Tuesday" is priceless. Or, Joe Benoit belting out "One". "Take a Walk on the Wild Side"... it goes on. I have a few thousand records and CDs. This is one of my favorites."
