Pink Pearl

Amazon.com
Like Aimee Mann, Jill Sobule had a hit early (1995's "I Kissed a Girl") and then was dropped by her major label. Now that the dust has settled, one can only hope that, like Mann, Sobule will reap the artistic and commercial recognition she deserves. Though no slouch in the melody department, Sobule really shines as a deft lyricist. On songs that act as many self-contained vignettes, she captures life's little miseries and epiphanies with economy and understated humor. Though she isn't afraid to tackle wide topics ("Heroes" reveals our icons' feet of clay with lines such as "Heard Babe Ruth was full of malice / Lewis Carroll I'm sure did Alice"), Sobule's specialty is to focus on individuals in a way that's both sharp-witted and compassionate. In the end, Pink Pearl's greatest accomplishment is showing that there are as many good song subjects as there are people around us--you only need to pay attention. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Clever and Cute.......2006-05-23

JS has a very pretty if rather small voice. Her lyrics are smart and different. Songs are catchy. I'm surprised none of the tracks from Pink Pearl were hits. She's a good singer-songwriter who deserves more recognition. Check her out.

great lyrics great melodies interesting voice.......2005-11-08

This album was a pleasant surprise. If you enjoy female vocalists and witty lyrics you'll like this. The songs have graceful melodies and are easy to listen to yet reward attention as well. Just like the review quoted on the site says, the lyrics really demonstrate that there are interesting things going on in even the most ordinary events...just as an example from "Rainy Day Parade":
I used to have the stars in my pockets
Now I just watch them on TV
My friends, they've all run away
But they'll come back again
And we'll have a celebration
Getting back on my medication
We'll have a rainy day parade

Other songs include "Lucy at the Gym" about a woman exercising to overcome self image problems, dying and going to heaven..."Mexican wrestler" about unrequited love..."Claire" about a friendship with a woman with Alzheimer's and secrets of that life that are lost to fading memories and ambiguity...
Great stuff - really enjoy the songs - too bad Amazon doesn't have samples foryou to listen to so you could see if you like it.
I would say that the closest performer that comes to mind is the duo of Kate and Anna McGarrigle.

Lousy!.......2005-05-03

I had to submit a review to counteract all the illegitimate fawning reviews. Her voice is totally annoying. More important, her tunes are just awful. The worst! People may think they like her but they are simply deluding themselves.

Jill at her best.......2003-10-30

You must buy this CD for the first and last tracks at least! But I loved nearly everything on the CD. Jill is the kind of artist I never tire of listening to. I can listen to all of these songs over and over and never get tired of them. What's up with the CD being out of stock? Ah well. If you want this CD, I suggest you hie over to www.jillsobule.com and buy it directly from her. Then buy all of her other CDs, they're amazing!

good stuff.......2002-12-18

Jill Sobule writes pop music with intelligence, heart, sarcasm and wit. In other words, she's just too good to ever be famous.

Still a great songwriter.......2002-05-30

Jill sobule has always been able to write wonderful songs. Little character sketches and plot twists, like a Borges or Roald Dahl short story in song form, pepper her albums. I'm really happy that while gaining backup musicians and studio production values, she hasn't sacrificed all the qualities that I liked in her previous efforts. The last album was headed out of the "girl-with-a-guitar" territory that she had done so well with her second album, but still hadn't quite left it. I admit I was pretty worried about where it would go, but it seems my fears were unfounded. A good album, and a great relief!

Starts with a bang, ends with a whimper.......2002-02-28

After hearing "One Of These Days" one time on the radio, I waited anxiously for this album to be released. I realized immediately that I was not a big Jill Sobule fan. Her talent is obvious, it's just not really my cup of tea. One Of These Days is really a terrific song...the lyrics made me literally laugh out loud, especially "one of these days/I'm going to touch the sky/like that awful song/'I believe I can fly.'" I identified with the lyrics especially since I hated that song, but most of the rest of the album left me cold...it was just a bit too quirky for me.

BROADWAY: The formative years.......2004-09-30

An essential collection for libraries and archives. Many of these shows have never been recorded in any other format but these light opera company medleys of "vocal gems." These antique 78-RPM discs are the predecessors of today's original cast recordings.

The years covered in this set show how European style operettas wer slowly giving way to a more jazz-oriented American musical comedy style. Victor Herbert, Jerome Kern, and Sigmund Romberg (among others) were setting the stage for the modern American musical.

Listeners should be aware that all the recordings in this set date from the "acoustic" period of recording and have limited range. The metal horns that collected the sound and cut it into wax discs were not ideal for soloists and worked best with brass and percussion. The shellac surfaces of the pressed records had a hissing sound and the steel needles often distorted the music. The few pressings that have survived in playable condition are gathered here, but be aware these are recordings nearly 100 years old!

Those I haven't daunted are in for a treat, for once you get past the antique sound you discover a wealth or musical material and a glimpse into a Broadway very different from what it would eventually become.
