Christine Doing Standards
Okay, here's a fantasy: Christine winds up doing another solo album comprised entirely of standards, accompanied by acoustic instruments.
What standards would you imagine her singing? Here's a handful I can think of: Don't Take Your Love from Me Willow Weep for Me If You Got to Make a Fool of Somebody... Let's have fun and think of more. |

My only wish for this album is that the "acoustic instruments" would consist almost entirely of Christine's own piano.
How does a song qualify to be a "standard"? Doesn't that have to be a really old song (pre rock 'n' roll era)?

I absolutely love the instrumental only version of Songbird. We know she "ploughs through" some Mozart very now and then. I for one would love to hear it Gail |

I'd like to hear Chris record: Stranger in Paradise BaĆ*a How Little We Know (the Carmichael song) Old Cape Cod Yesterdays Twilight on the Trail Don't laugh at my Twilight choice. In fact, I think Chris would be more interesting on folk revival songs than on pop standards -- stuff like Turtle Dove. She stylizes her vocal more in the English folk song way than in the jazz or big band way. |

(did i spell all that correctly?)

I agree that Christine can and does adhere quite well to the folk song genre. But I think she could probably do some amazing work with the American songbook. |

What she brings to her pop & blues-rock isn't enormous technical facility but the stamp of idiosyncratic personal style. Still, it never hurts -- as she would undoubtedly agree -- to practice sight-reading your classical music! |

"Old Cape Cod"! I would love it, since I live on Cape Cod.
<offtopic> Did you know that Patti Page had never been to Cape Cod when she recorded the song? </offtopic> Nobody's answered my query about the definition of a standard. Anybody?

You lucky devil, you. I bet I would love Cape Cod.

All this occurs, incidentally, independently of the intrinsic merits (or lack thereof) of the song -- which is generally true of all popular phenomena in the art-commerce continuum. Would you agree or disagree? |
