I know what you're all thinking. You're thinking why does Metamorpho give out all these 5 star ratings? But you all must think outside the box. Obviously, there is much excellent music out there. Metamorpho investigates. He is not willing to close his mind to all there is. Thus, he can sense deeply all the genres out there (and genres are what I'm told to think, but don't really believe).
This c.d. is beautiful. It's a wonder. There is one song Dusty did, was it around '66, that alone is worth the price of admission - 'You Don't Have to Say You Love Me'. Oh people, the aching heartbreak vocals and the dramatic orchestra with well put insistent exclaimations - o my soul - it is forever rich and a classic. But let's not stop there. All her sixties gems are here. And Dusty was forever wounded from a lost love or trying to formulate some plan to get a new one. Classic pop relating teen angst - you can't get better than this. But what I really love about alot of the earlier tunes is the professional orchestral arrangements. Pop music yes - but with expert musicians behind it. These days, unfortunately, it seems like a lost art. But that British, mid-sixties - hit making formula was a formidable force back then.
Dusty then takes on more mature considerations with 'Son Of a Preacher Man','The Look of Love' and 'The Windmills of Your Mind'. All great renditions. I have "Dusty in Memphis" and hearing the tunes from that on this compilation is an endless indulging pleasure. All the songs are beautiful gems. And, not only that, Dusty provides the Pet Shop Boys song 'What Have I Done to Deserve This?' with a perfect charged vocal. Believe me, people, it would have been nowhere near as good without her.
It is a shame she no longer is with us. She deserved the honor of being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - 10 times over. She had a wonderful vocal quality - sometimes smokey, sometimes sultry, sometimes aching, but ALWAYS EXCELLENT! Listen people ..... if you are tired of all those radio playlists and are looking for something truly extraordinary - get this c.d. Metamorpho wants you to be happy and always strives to bring you all the best. Gotta go - but I will continue to write for all those who are willing to take a chance and listen. Be well - world! - next time - Metamopho
