Kristin Chenoweth won a Tony for the supporting role of Sally Brown in the 1999 revival of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, made a memorably vampy Lily in the 1999 television film of Annie, and had an NBC sitcom created for her, Kristin! Now she grabs the spotlight in Let Yourself Go, her first solo recording. She mixes torchy standards ("My Funny Valentine," "How Long Has This Been Going On?") with Faith Prince-style sauciness ("If"), gets to show off her operatic and scat chops in the miniplay "The Girl in 14G," and shares a light duet with Jason Alexander (reviving his musical theater career post-Seinfeld). Perhaps her "Stranger Here Myself" isn't the weightiest you've ever heard, but this is an enjoyable album with a good deal of old-fashioned class, expertly accompanied by Rob Fisher and the Coffee Club Orchestra. --David Horiuchi

One of the best ever!.......2007-04-24

Do I mean the best album or the best singer? You are correct if you said both! I saw Kristin Chenoweth on a PBS show "Broadway's Best at the Pops," (though it was not the first time I had heard her) and decided to check out the offerings here. This is a collection of the kind of music and performances I love. She has a great range, a precise pitch, and a great style that is at the same time true to the music and to herself. In an era when singers try to outdo each other re-interpreting the composer's original work, not usually with great success, she is a blessing!

Kristen Chenowith.......2007-02-26

I bought this CD for the Girl in 14G. Yes, it's that good...

Has its moments.......2007-02-19

After watching Candide endlessly and going to see Ms. Chenoweth in The Apple Tree, I was hungry for something more portable to listen to. At times this fits the bill, but what surprised me the most is how thin her voice comes across on this recording. Perhaps it was the joy of seeing her live that has ruined this listener; perhaps I need to upgrade my aging music system. Then again, maybe the recording is just not as good as Ms. C singing Bernstein or as good as staring at Ms. C command a Broadway stage.

Great CD!.......2007-01-19

I truly enjoy listening to this CD. Kristin Chenoweth's vocal style and abilities are very well-matched to the songs selected for this album. If you enjoy classic, older-style Broadway/popular tunes, I would highly recommend this CD. Ms. Chenoweth has a bright, expressive voice and does a fantastic job with this material.

As with any full-length CD, there are a couple of songs I am not as crazy about, but that has to do with the songs themselves, not Ms. Chenoweth's vocal performance. Overall, I love this album and have listened to it several times now, since receiving it as a Christmas gift last month.

This woman has what it takes, and then some..........2007-01-12

Kristin Chenoweth brings new life to some timeless Broadways tunes while introducing a few wonderful new ones. This high pitched vocal goddess effortlessly provides for a nearly flawless and easy listening experience. I definitly recommend this CD for anyone who enjoys jazz vocals, showtunes, or just a new spin on some old classics.

Album Description

Lisa Cerbone brings her keen writer's eye and ethereal melodies to her third full-length release, Ordinary Days. Produced by Mark Kozelek, frontman / guitarist / songwriter / producer of the Red House Painters, Ordinary Days is an intimate, acoustic recording with a timeless quality. Joined by Kozelek on guitar, the luminescent arrangements are spare, yet never predictable; and Lisa's angelic vocals are always in the forefront. Other musical guests adding to the haunting beauty of the recording are Tim Mooney on drums (American Music Club) and Geoff Stanfield on bass (Black Lab). Lyrically, Lisa movingly speaks of everyday sorrows, joys, and challenges that demonstrate that, which is considered "ordinary" in daily life, is often extraordinary in reality. Her voice and transcendent melodies are the hope that rise above the melancholy.

Customer Reviews:

Wow..........2004-10-03

This is my first exposure to Lisa Cerbone's work and I must say that I am extremely impressed. I bought the CD because of the track "Ordinary Day" which I heard from a free download. I did not expect the rest of the CD to be so beautiful....a wonderful work!

Innocent Sundays..........2004-02-20

Firstly if you have a pssion for the Innocence Mission and/or the Sundays and/or Red House Painters then you should have bought this album by now. This album is very far from a 'pastiche' album of the former bands as Lisa draws upon the spirit and rich melodic sensibility of these bands whilst highlighting her own authentic voice and lyrical approach as well. Mark Kozelek's (Red House Painters) simple and bright production here helps distill every song into it's essence. You can tell from his involvement he is a great admirer of Lisa's and, being one of the most exciting songwriters of our generation himself, this is high praise indeed.

Delicately transcendent.......2004-02-18

Someone wrote that this is Lisa Cerbone's strongest work, and I agree. This collection is truly a work of art; all the songs follow a mood like chapters in a novel. With each listen, the songs reveal more of themselves each time making it a recording you could hear over and over again. And you can't go wrong with Lisa's voice and melodies. They'll take you to another place. Pure and beautiful.
