2 out of 5 stars Worst Little Tour of Whorehouse.......2006-06-06

Roxie Lucas saves this review from having a single star. Her performance was the shining star in a rather lifeless, dusty, and uninspired revival of the original production which thankfully avoided Broadway. Compare with the rollicking original recording and you will easily notice the lack of life, spirit and vibrancy in the new recording. The addition of A Friend to Me added nothing to the score but sluggish redundancy.

5 out of 5 stars Simply the Best.......2005-10-24

I saw this production . . . it was a fantastic tour. I love this CD and highly reccomend it! This is by far the best recording of the show. If you are a fan of Ann Margret or of this musical I am sure you will love it. Now some people have complained about Ann Margret's voice not being what it was . . . I think it's better. Her voice is smokey, breathy and sexy . . . and perfect for this Las Vegas meets honky tonk score. She is the perfect Miss Mona aside from Dolly Parton. The supporting cast is very strong here as well. Flashy costumes and scantily clothed men and women . . . how can anyone not love this musical.

4 out of 5 stars Ann-Margret in a lively performance.......2003-10-18

THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS is always a delight, and in this new cast album of the recent national touring production starring Ann-Margret, it's even better than ever.

Ann-Margret takes on the role of the Chicken Ranch owner Miss Mona with aplomb, offering up a lively performance. She sings lovely renditions of "Girl, You're a Woman", "A Lil' Ole Bitty Pissant Country Place", and a brand-new song written especially for this production, "A Friend to Me".

Gary Sandy does well by the character of Mona's old flame Ed Earl Dodd, with fine support from Rob Donohoe as Melvin P. Thorpe and Hal Davis as Edsel Mackay.

Avery Sommers adds a soulful voice to the character of the sassy bordello maid Jewel, and offers up a show-stopping "Twenty-Four Hours of Lovin'". Roxie Lucas plays the role of the thankless Doatsy Mae, and sings her self-titled number quite affectingly.

Terri Dixon and Jen Celene Little do well by the featured roles of Angel and Shy, with the Chicken Ranch girls offering up a superb rendition of the heartbreakingly-lovely "Hard Candy Christmas".

All-in-all, if you love this delightful musical, you'll adore this brand-new cast album!

4 out of 5 stars Star Power in the House - -The Whorehouse, that is........2002-03-06

Ann Margret`s singing voice is quite different from what you`d expect if you heard the previous cast album; however, she purrs her way through them while infusing a great deal of charm and personality to her renditions. Her numbers are not musically beautiful, yet they manage to be touching, sexy, rawnchy and pleasing. You can feel her elgant, strong, glamorous presence which, incidentally, are the character requirements for Miss Mona. The musical arrangements are superb, the energetic entr' acte is a welcome addition to the already familiar musical program. The ensemble is superband Watchdog, the Governor and Jewel all stand out in their solo numbers.

The sad note is, the "Doatsy Mae" number does no justice to the original. Although acceptably sung, it fails to covey the furstration, hope and dreams of the character. Overall, this CD is surely worth the price: with its good vocals, wonderful score and general sense of innocent mischief, you'll have a great time listening to this all-out for fun musical.

2 out of 5 stars Ann Margret Disappointing.......2002-02-25

After listening to this cast album I was horrified and disappointed at the way Ann Margret sounds. Her voice is not in good form and on more than one occasion she fails to stay on key. It is very sad to hear because she has always been one of my favorite performers. The show is coming to Portland in 2 weeks but I think I will bypass this particular production.
Bruce Kimmel always does excellent work. His CDs are flawless. However, everything seems horribly over miked, in particular Ann Margret. You can hear every breath she takes and it sounds like they were trying to compensate her voice. The orchestra sounds thin as though they are not using a lot of instruments. The chorus does not sound as rich and full as they do on the original Broadway cast CD. This might be due, in part, to the recording studio. It was recorded on their day off during a three week run in Dallas, Texas.
There are some excellent supporting performances (hence the two star rating)that are enjoyable. Roxie Lucas, as Doatsie Mae, has a nice solo as well as Avery Sommers singing "24 Hours of Lovin':.
Gary Sandy and Rob Donohue are also fine in less flashy roles.
Perhaps it is a production that is better seen than heard.

4 out of 5 stars Mixed Experience.......2007-07-08

I bought this CD a few years ago. It was manufactured in Belgium and contained a strange clear seal on the playing side. I discovered that it would only play in top loading CD players and not without interference. I had to have it professionally recopied and it cost me $25.00. I guess it was made to play on Region 2 DVD players.

I now enjoy the beautiful voice I enjoyed as a child while living in a British colonial nation, with the BBC providing the inspiration. Since most of Jim's CD's are manufactured overseas clear the compatibility hurdle before purchasing.

3 out of 5 stars GREAT SONG SELECTION; PRODUCTION IS DULL.......2005-03-05

Reeves voice is incomparable and the song selections are great! The production values are dull. Reeves recorded at a time during the sixties when arrangements were lush with strings, which I love. For those who love simple arrangements, this is the CD for you as Reeves voice is the primary attraction. If you want a voice complemented by sophisticated production (aka the sixties sound) you will be disappointed. The songs are great, Reeves is great, the production not so great!

5 out of 5 stars A great, relaxing CD.......2002-11-01

I bought this for my Dad's birthday, and he plays it most every Sunday. Reeves reminds me of Eddy Arnold's smooth style.

    I was very disappointed by the fact that some of these songs aren't his original recording of the song. For example "Through the Years" is a remake that sounds nothing like the original "Through the Years". I may as well throw it in the trash, as I will never listen to it again.

      4 out of 5 stars The skip lives!.......2007-03-12

      The sound quality and mastering is actually quite good for this collection of 20 Musicor-era Jones tunes, when GJ was in top voice. Most of these songs seem to have come from the same 2 LP set on Musicor, called Musical Loves Life and Sorrows of America's Great Country Star (some editions came with a photo of GJ). As a serious Jones collector and part-time country LP dealer, I had several copies of the 2 LP set pass through my collection, and every one had the same skip on the song Color of the Blues; obviously a tape-to-disc mastering error. And, yes, the same song with the same skip is to be found on this LP. Buy this CD for the other 19 songs, and look for Color of the Blues elsewhere; it can be found on several other Jones CD's.
