Everybody's Girl

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Here’s an earnest debut of honest songs sung earnestly by a talented young singer in the Joan Osborne/ Michelle Branch vein. Foster came to attention in 2001 when she won the "Great American Song Contest" in the pop category, and was a finalist in the "John Lennon songwriting contest" for her song "She"--a pleasant, straightforward tune about falling in love with another woman. There are a few standout tracks, but overall the album fails for trying too hard. The production uses samples but sounds curiously dated, and the whole project sounds like it was pieced together by a confused committee who didn’t know whether to go for the Dawson’s Creek crowd or the Melissa Etheridge demographic, so they opted for a strange middle-ground between the two. Foster’s singing, while a highlight throughout, is too overwrought too many times; she sounds like Alanis Morisette’s mom on a bad day on the annoying anthem "Superwoman." Here’s to hoping that she records her next album with just an acoustic guitar and a microphone. Foster doesn’t need all the bombastic studio trickery that clutters up and overwhelms this well-intentioned debut. --Mike McGonigal

Product Description
On her melodically rich and exuberantly rocking debut effort, "Everybody's Girl," the award-winning singer, songwriter and guitarist displays a spirit that's both timeless and up-to-date.

Tracks such as "Superwoman," "Water in Your Hands," "The One Who Got Away," the award winning track "She" and her first single "Used Black Cars" are more incisive examinations of relationships, while "Seize the Moment" champions the benefits of doing just what the title says. And who can't relate to the sentiment expressed in the title -- and the lyrics -- of "I Just Wanna Be Happy?" Then there's "In Between Poses," Foster's personal favorite on "Everybody's Girl" and an emotional lynch pin for the entire album.

Her frankness -- heartfelt and forthright, but never cloying -- are, in fact, the hallmark of Foster's songwriting. That philosophy is displayed throughout "Everybody's Girl," which takes events and lessons from Foster's own experience and transcribes them into universal sentiments.

5 out of 5 stars Kander and Ebbs' Score Stands Alone.......2007-01-21

The biggest criticism of this Broadway musical was the book. It allegedly meandered, bored the audience and included unfocussed or unnecessary sequences such as the "dream sequence". Well, I never saw the show and can only evaluate this score on its own merits. Based on that alone, it's a complete winner. Memorable songs, great performances, and the score itself tell a clear story that might have been muddled by an overly fussy book (again, that's from heresay...I never saw the show, which flopped in its initial presentation -- unfortunately, because there is much to admire and enjoy in this typically complex Kander and Ebb score).

First of all, top-rate performances abound here. Karen Ziemba makes every one of her songs sail into the stratosphere. She is a true wonder and deserved her Tony nomination against incredible competition (Bebe Neuwirth got it for the much more popular "Chicago", but Ziemba's her equal). Debra Monk once again makes her mark as a Broadway character actress, although her song "Everybody's Girl" is easily the worst song in the show and certainly beneath Kander and Ebbs' standard, but she wins you over with her energetic and well-placed rendition. Daniel MacDonald does a suberb job as the ill-fated hero, exposing innocence and wry commentary in his very presence, but he is equalled by Gregory Harrison's slimy and ultimately ferocious performance as Mick, the emcee.

The score evokes the time (the 1930s) without relying on pastiche to put it over. Of note, Ziemba's intro, "Willing to Ride", the ensemble "Everybody Dance" (which gives Harrison his chance to shine), "Two Little Words" (which provides the auspicious debut of a most impressive Kristen Chenowith and augers the great things yet to come for her), the touching "First you Dream" and, finally, the both ferocious and mournful reprises of the title song display a powerful and underrated score that deserves reevaluation.

If the book got it wrong, the composers and actors got it quite right the first time. This Original Cast Recording will always be proof positive of that undeniable fact. Always "dream".

3 out of 5 stars Great Score, lousy show........2006-07-22

I think it's one of Kander and Ebbs best, better than Chicago and close to Cabaret. Sadly, the book ruined the show, it bored people. Yet, listening to the ravishing music on the CD, it's hard to realize that it all didn't come together. Maybe someday, someone will revise the book and make it work. Till then, enjoy the CD, it's absolutly gorgeous, had great character numbers, spirited dance numbers and dazzling ballads. The performances are wonderful, with Gregory Harrison (who knew Trapper John could sing?) , Daniel MacDonald and Karen Ziemba shining through on every song. The opening and closing theme is haunting.

5 out of 5 stars Kander and Ebb in a Major Key.......2006-02-09

I first heard excerpts from this on Accuradio.com, and thought it sounded great. It is. In the Kander and Ebb canon, Steel Pier may not rank with Chicago, but I enjoy listening to it as much as to Cabaret. It's sweeter and less dark than either of those, but set in the same period (1933) and just as evocative of that period.

First, the performances of the leads are excellent. Karen Ziemba is superb. Daniel McDonald has a wonderful light baritone, and who knew Gregory Harrison (Trapper John, M.D.) could sing, let alone sing well. Debra Monk performs an excellent comic turn. Kristen Chenoweth's Broadway debut number was corny as can be, but did show off her talent and range well.

The music is just wonderful. Willing to Ride is a spirited waltz. Everybody Dance is a near-perfect Charleston opener top the dance marathon that forms the backbone of the plot. Power is a Powerful Thing may be a little weak in the lyrics, but its set to a spirited and charming ragtime melody. Dance with Me and The Last Girl are sung in a medley format. This is almost a shame because both numbers are excellent in their own right. In fact, The Last Girl is as gorgeous a ballad as you can find anywhere.

Wet is a tinkling, sparkling number in which Ms. Ziemba charms, and Mr. McDonald has a teriffic counterpoint melody. Ms. Monk has a showstopper in Everybody's Girl and a torchy number with Somebody Older. The Shag is a dance piece that may be the best number of all. It seems to alternate between twenties hot jazz and the swing that was just starting to be heard around then. There's also a great bluesy harmonica specialty number, whose only flaw is that it's too short. All in all, the score is a gem, especially compared to most of what we've heard in the last twenty years or so.

This is one of those recordings that makes you wonder why the show was a flop. I went back and read the reviews. Basically they didn't like the plot and felt the production strained too hard to be likeable, but lacked energy at the same time. The show also suffered from comparison to the stunning revival of Chicago that opened in the same season. The critics even managed to be lukewarm on the score. The show closed shortly after being nominated for eleven Tony's and winning none - that was the year Titanic swept the boards. With all that, I'd still say the score is marvelous when heard on its own merits. And I'd go to see a revival if someone would do it. Buy it. I recommend it without reservation.

4 out of 5 stars Weak Plot ... Nice Score.......2005-08-06

The overall plot for Kander & Ebb's 1997 "Steel Pier" is fairly weak, but the score is actually quite good and sung by a terrific cast (Karen Ziemba, Daniel McDonald, Debra Monk, Gregory Harrison, and Kristin Chenowith). Not in the same league as their brilliant "Chicago", "Cabaret" or "Kiss Of The Spider Woman", but a worthy effort with several nice tunes.

Best tracks:

Willing To Ride
Second Chance
Running In Place
First You Dream

Unfortunately, "Steel Pier" was overshadowed by that season's remarkable revival of "Chicago" and dreadful "Titanic". A fine addition, however, to a theatre-lover's collection!

5 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL!.......2005-04-28

I love this album! I bought it a few weeks ago and from the moment I listened to "Two Little Words" I knew this was going to be one of my favorites! The music absolutely gorgeous! I reccomend it!

Amazon.com's Best of 2001

Barbara Cook is one of today's most accomplished song stylists, and if you don't believe us, just listen to this live album. It's a master class in the art of singing. It documents an evening at Carnegie Hall during which Cook proved that she can dissect and extract the substance out of the simplest of lyrics. One of the best surprises is "You Could Drive a Person Crazy" (from Company), which is taken at an amiable trot and allows the singer to display its humor. Cook is not a swinging singer and uptempo is not her pace; give her a ballad, though, and she'll wring the last drop of emotion out of it. Her version of "Losing My Mind" (here paired with "Not a Day Goes By") is simply astonishing. The singer also performs songs that Sondheim has said he wished he had written, an awful lot of them by Harold Arlen. No complaints here. Guest Malcolm Gets solos on a few songs and duets with Cook on others, including "Let's Face the Music and Dance." This is classic material done masterfully by a classic singer. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

5 out of 5 stars Wow!.......2004-02-20

Having read the other reviews there is little more for me to add. I have been a Barbara Cook fan for a longtime and for me, this is one of her best concerts ever. I do, however, prefer the DVD. As with some other reviewers, I do not want to hear Malcolm Gets (as much as I like him) when I want to listen to Barbara. Her flawless interpretation of music is a hard act to follow for any singer! I managed to see this concert 4 times over a year and a half. Each time I saw her the voice was stronger and more assured (I would not have thought that possible). I can't help but think we will have the pleasure of hearing Ms Cook for many years to come. For those people who enjoyed his CD I strongly recommend purchasing the DVD. Barabara's rendition of So Many People is breathtaking (literally, I don't think I breathed once during the entire song). If you ever have opportunity to see her live - go! She has an ability to make you feel as if every song she sings and every word she speaks is directed to you alone. She can take a large venue and make it feel as intimate as your own living room. Having had the pleasure of meeting her I can say she is as youthful and pleasurable in person as she is in her performance.

5 out of 5 stars Everyone Should Whistle.......2003-10-11

After being privileged to attend this concert, I had to own the CD. Once a lyric coloratura and the original Cunegonde in Bernstein's Candide, Ms. Cook has become (in her 70s) a true diva, blessed with a velvety, warm sound. Every note has meaning. Her high B-flat on "Ice Cream" is still the envy of any soprano today. Everyone should whistle after hearing the superb performances on this CD. Even better, though, is the experience of having been in the concert hall for the live performance. Brava, Ms. Cook!

5 out of 5 stars An amazing intro to the body of work of a true master.......2003-06-16

When I first bought tickets for the 'Mostly Sondheim' show on tour (in San Francisco) I figured it couldn't be too bad. Besides, I had only been exposed to a few of his songs (Anyone Can Whistle, Losing My Mind...) and had only seen "A Little Night Music". On the way out of the theater I immediately picked up this recording of the program. It is truly amazing. I immediately began listening to it and have barely put it down in the last few months. Furthermore, my Sondheim CD collection increased in size from an unflattering zero to five (and it's still growing)! This is an amazing introduction to the works of Stephen Sondheim, who is now my favorite modern musical composer). Buy this now if you don't already have it!

4 out of 5 stars Beautiful, moving concert.......2003-04-13

This is a wonderful CD set with a great selection of songs. I do want to express a slight reservation, however. Barbara Cook has been one of my favorite singers for a number of years and the way her voice defies time is extraordinary -- for her to be singing with such bright, beautiful tone in her mid-70s with no wobble or beat in the voice is an amazing achievment.

I do have to say that by 2001, when this concert was recorded, Cook seemed to have a lost a little bit of power and intensity in her singing. This is only natural for someone of her age. Her voice is still lovely, but you can sense her keeping it in reserve a bit. She's as expressive as ever, but compare the rendition of "I got lost in his arms" on this album to the one on her previous album recorded in 1999, "The Champion Season", and there's less urgency and vocal depth in her singing here. That said, the high B at the end of "Ice Cream" is sensational.

So, despite that caveat, this is, again, a wonderful album, a must for Cook fans, especially for the gorgeous renditions of songs I'd never thought I'd get to hear her perform: "Not a Day Goes By", "Happiness/Loving You", "San Francisco", etc. Buy it!

1 out of 5 stars ... and I love Barbara Cook.......2003-02-11

This recording is a disappointment for me. It is not her best work, and Malcolm Gets is uninspired. My biggest complaint however is the engineering of the recording. Throughout the speaking was to soft, the singing volumes uneven, and the applause deafening. I will be passing this CD on to friends, and will later donate it to my local library.

    I hope everyone takes the opportunity to buy this CD and open up a whole new world of music. From the first time I heard Jen I fell in Love with her music. She speaks from the heart and soul and really puts herself out there. She is the true meaning of an artist. There is not that many muscians out there that I can say that for and it keeps getting better and better.

    5 out of 5 stars Great singer songwriter.......2005-09-13

    Jen Foster is an important new artist. Her songs are heartfelt and well crafted.
    I look forward to her next CD!

    5 out of 5 stars But it! You won't be sorry!.......2005-09-03

    Jen Foster's voice is so different from anyone else out there right now. She's not trying to be anyone. She is just herself. Her songwriting is brilliant. The lyrics will mesmerize you while the melody gets under your skin and into your soul. I cannot recommend this CD enough.

    5 out of 5 stars I Love Jen Foster!!.......2005-08-25

    I have never heard of Jen Foster before I bought the cd. I just took a chance. I love Jen Foster. I am telling eveyone about Jen Foster. Every song on the cd is so good and so meaningful. I highly suggest this cd. Then you too will be hooked on Jen Foster.

    5 out of 5 stars Bono 'Trains' Jen and Alanis! *smile*.......2004-09-27

    How to describe the new record? Musician Jen Foster is described as "Train meets Alanis at a sleepover with U2's Bono"!
    A big admirer of U2, Foster wrote "She" immediately after she went to one of their concerts in Buffalo, N.Y. That song later won "best song" at the John Lennon Songwriting Awards Contest.
    Interestingly enough her new CD "Everybodys Girl" was produced by Glenn Rosenstein (Ziggy Marley, U2 (New Years Day) Talking Heads, Madonna).
    My favorite song is "Used Black Cars". You can hear parts of it on her website (which includes tour dates). Go to JenFoster.com!

      5 out of 5 stars The style is the man--and the song.......2001-05-02

      Many composers have chosen to perform their own material and commit it to discs, with mixed results. Only with Noel Coward do we feel that a good deal of the charm of his numbers lies in the very way he performs them. For proof, we now have the Naxos Nostalgia (8.120529), which dishes up 16 tracks of the ultra-refined son of W. S.Gilbert, giving us six selections from "This Year of Grace," one from "Bittersweet," a medley of treasures from his "Cavalcade," another from his other works, and a few other trifles that are better than most of what is written today.

      Add to all this two classical scenes with Coward and co-star Gertrude Lawrence from his "Private Lives," incredibly valuable for those local drama groups who butcher this work in that this CD can teach them the tone and rhythms that are essential in making this classic succeed.

      The subtitle of this set is "The Complete Recordings, Volume 1: 1928-1932." So we can look forward to future offerings featuring this fascinating composer-lyricist-performer. Thank you, Naxos, yet again.

            Product Description

            On her melodically rich and exuberantly rocking debut effort, "Everybody's Girl," the award-winning singer, songwriter and guitarist displays a spirit that's both timeless and up-to-date. Tracks such as "Superwoman," "Water in Your Hands," "The One Who Got Away," the award winning track "She" and her first single "Used Black Cars" are more incisive examinations of relationships, while "Seize the Moment" champions the benefits of doing just what the title says. And who can't relate to the sentiment expressed in the title -- and the lyrics -- of "I Just Wanna Be Happy?" Then there's "In Between Poses," Foster's personal favorite on "Everybody's Girl" and an emotional lynch pin for the entire album. Her frankness -- heartfelt and forthright, but never cloying -- are, in fact, the hallmark of Foster's songwriting. That philosophy is displayed throughout "Everybody's Girl," which takes events and lessons from Foster's own experience and transcribes them into universal sentiments.

            5 out of 5 stars Packed with "should've been" hits of Leiber & Stoller.......2003-05-23

            Legendary songwriter-producers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller took several cracks at record label ownership before finding financial and chart success at Red Bird Records in the 1960s with the Dixie Cups and Shangri-Lass. Their first attempt, Spark Records, found some success with the Robins, but it wasn't until the label folded in the mid-50s, and the Robins' "Smokey Joe's Café" was re-released on Atlantic's Atco subsidiary that the single really took off.

            The duo's subsequent writing and production success at Atlantic throughout the late '50s and early '60s is impressive enough, but when one considers the sides they wrote and produced on Capitol, RCA (including hit singles for Elvis Presley), Scepter, Wand and numerous other labels, their output is truly staggering. It should be no surprise then that their second foray into label ownership, Tiger Records (and subsequently its sister label, Daisy), yielded a superb collection of singles and B-sides. What's truly astounding is that the labels' combined output, collected here in its entirety, had virtually no success on the charts.

            Starting with Tippie and the Clovers (comprised of Roosevelt "Tippie" Hubbard and three members of the original Clovers), Tiger and Daisy turned out a tremendous string of soul, pop, and R&B singles from the pens of Leiber & Stoller, Barry & Greenwich, Van McCoy and others. The debut single, "Bossa Nova, Baby," would become a hit for Elvis Presley the following year, but the original version, with a superb bass and drums bottom, jazzy vocal arrangement, and swinging sax solo failed to even touch the charts. The flip, "The Bossa Nova (My Heart Said)," features a similar arrangement, but with more of a Drifters' feel. The label had similar bad luck with Bessie Banks' original recording of "Go Now." Though this superbly soulful original has become better known via retrospective anthologies, it was eclipsed on the charts by the Moody Blues remake.

            Beyond these two track Daisy and Tiger's compositions were relegated to nearly complete obscurity. Cathy Saint's "Big Bad World" had all the elements of a Brill Building success -- strong lead vocal, swinging drums, horn chart, and girlgroup harmonies -- but failed in the aftermath of JFK's assassination. The B-side, "Mr. Heartbreak," is a lovely ballad in the Dusty Springfield vein. Alvin Robinson's superb New Orleans influenced "Something You Got" (Tiger's only chart entry at #54) combines vocal elements of Otis Redding and Ray Charles, with a sublimely restrained horn chart. The flip, a remake of The Coasters "Searchin'," adds a wonderful bit of Memphis soul.

            The labels also produced a pair of fine rock 'n' roll instrumentals from Bob Moore and the Temps. Their "Trophy Run" combines the guitar swagger (courtesy of none other than Roy Buchanan) and romping rhythms of Lonnie Mack, Duane Eddy and Link Wray, and "Braggin'" adds a bit Sunset Strip styled harmonica and organ. Vic Donna's sides are straight boy pop, with a vocal that sounds quite a bit like then session vocalist Tony Orlando.

            Leola & The Lovejoys hold the distinction of being the only artists to release two singles on the Tiger label, and all four of their sides are fine slices of soul. The gospel-tinged "It's Mighty Nice" and "Wait 'Round the Corner" show off their strong vocals, and Barry & Greenwich's "He Ain't No Angel" is a girlgroup dance tune that foreshadows the songwriters' work at Red Bird. Dionne Warwick's younger sister, Dee Dee, though primarily employed as a backing singer, also had her first release on Tiger, featuring a pair of tunes written by Van McCoy.

            The song that truly set the table for the Leiber & Stoller's subsequent success at Red Bird is Moody and the Delta's "Everybody Come Clap Your Hands." Written by Barry & Greenwich and produced by Joe Jones in 1964, this upbeat tune shakes off the R&B and doo-wop intonations of the '50s and stakes out a freer '60s soul sound. The dance beat brings to mind Wilson Pickett's and Bobby Freeman's soul songs from the mid-60s. The flip, "Monkey Climb," is indicative of the groups New Orleans roots - roots that would pay off handsomely with The Dixie Cups.

            In addition to twenty-two sides that should have been contenders for the tops of the charts, Sundazed has generously added three previously unreleased alternate takes, detailed liner notes and period photos. If not for the quirks of record promotion, this would be a collection of chart-toppers, rather than unknown gems. Nearly everything here is as good as anything Leiber & Stoller actually got onto the charts, and after only a few spins you'll forget that you didn't actually hear these back in 1963 (or repeated ad nauseam by modern Oldies radio).
