Editorial Reviews

An appropriate title if there ever was one. Nova Scotia songbird Anne Murray is a crooner to the core, all style and grace with a capital G. As the title suggests, 1993's Croonin' is a collection of cover songs by soft-pop giants like Perry Como, Rosemary Clooney, Bing Crosby, and Peggy Lee. Murray swoons through versions of standards like "Fever," "Allegheny Moon," and "Cry Me a River," sticking as tight to the originals as possible. It's an exceptionally restrained recording, one where extravagance is some jazzy finger snapping and a lazy sax solo. Still, Murray's voice is remarkably strong and the arrangements, though subdued, are tasteful. --Matt Galloway

Customer Reviews

Do you like GOOD music? (2003-09-07)

This is a group of songs that were some of Anne Murray's favorites when she was growing up in the fifties, and for my money, each is a new and improved version. As a professional musician, I am just SO impressed by the wonderful arrangements, terrific instrumental performances, and, of course, the beautiful and classy voice of Anne Murray that make this a CD you will listen to over and over. And there are so many songs on it that you won't get tired of hearing them. Most are ballads. I dare you to try to be stressed out after listening to this CD for even a short time. My cassette player ate the Croonin' tape and I was in absolute withdrawal until I purchased the CD. Enjoy.

A must for all lovers of great music... (2003-05-24)

Anne has a gift for making any song uniquely her own. This album is smooth, unpretentious and shows off her great vocals without the annoying "Celine'-type vocal acrobatics-a true professional. Best tunes include "The Wayward Wind", "Make love to me", "Old Cape Cod", and "Cry Me a river"

She's great and hey she's Canadian. (2002-01-31)

I have many many albums by Anne Murray but my favourite is still this 'Croonin' album. She covers tunes by Patti Page, Rosemary Clooney to name just a few. Not overdone or fancy, just plain good singing. And guess what? You can actually hear every word she sings unlike a lot of other singers.

Simply Beautiful! (2001-05-10)

I've been a fan of Anne Murray since high school,and at 44 I'm even more so!This CD is the essence that is Ms.Murray! She puts her soul into these already classic and lovely songs.The inside cover has a list of the songs and the artists who previously recorded them,which were an inspiration to Ms.Murray.Dare I say it? She out does most,if not all of the "original" artists;at the very least,she honors them highly with her renditions!And these were some heavy weights;Patti Page,Peggy Lee,Perry Como,Rosemary Clooney,Eddy Arnold,Doris Day!I love the old standards in this recording;(especially "Secret Love","When I Fall In Love",and"You Belong To Me") I love even more hearing them sung in Ms.Murray's beautiful,one of a kind alto!My copy is probably going to wear out soon,as I play it constantly,getting lost in it!:)I've heard most of these songs through out my life,although I'm too young to remember when most of them were original hits, so bless Ms. Murray for recording them!

Desert island special (2001-04-11)

I first heard one of the songs from this disc on a small town radio station back in 1994. I finally found it in 1996. It would rank in my personal top 5 all time discs. Here are the standards, with tasteful, contemporary arrangements and NO SYRUPPY STRING SECTION. The Nova Scotia native's interpretation of these classics like the Wayward Wind, Allegany Moon, and Secret Love in my mind are definitve. If you're "young at heart" this is a must have. Also, a reviewer on this list named "G. Massenberg" is the famous audio engineer and producer George Massenberg, who recorded many of Linda Ronstadt's albums, especially those with Nelson Riddle. If his critical ear likes this album, you will too. It's that good!
