CD ReviewsAn album to treasure riotgun | New York | 07/01/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album is a find. Singer/actress Alison Fraser's marvelous, evocative voice brings to life a remarkable variety of songs with grace, passion, and humor - and a deft touch that makes each one special. They range from emotional and affecting ("Wrong For Me") to perversely funny ("The Pill Song") to nostalgic/romantic ("Romantic Notions") to steaming hot ("Smoke"). Her very personal rendition of Elvis Costello's "Every Day I Write the Book" leaves me with goose bumps. The "men in my life" theme that ties these diverse songs together adds an extra dimension, touching chords in the listener that make them even more personal and engaging. This album can hook you. When I first got it I temporarily put it in the slot in my car normally occupied by my navigation CD. It's still there. I'm lost more, but with Alison Fraser to listen to, who cares? This album is a treasure. Many, many stars." Men who like.... "Men in My Life" by Alison Fraser John Martin Nolan | Cleveland, OH | 10/16/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "We've heard Alison Fraser on recordings before, among them "March of the Falsettos," "Secret Garden," and "Romance, Romance," but never before have I been treated to 20 songs by Alison on one CD."Men in My Life" includes some standards (like "Young at Heart") sung in a way-above-standard style, as well as original works that provide Fraser with the chance to show off her vocal style, range and power. Among my personal favorites are the opening title ("Storyteller"), "Wrong For Me," and a beautiful solo version of "Romantic Notions" from that underplayed musical, "Romance, Romance."With the depth of feeling and range of emotion demonstrated in this performance, it is clear to see (hear?) why Alison Fraser has been repeatedly nominated for awards, recorded, and praised for her onstage work.My only question for Alison is this: When can we expect the next CD? I hope soon (and I might suggest that a Christmas CD would be a welcome addition to the current stock of holiday music available!)Thanks for a GREAT musical experience!John Nolan" Buy this CD! jerhz | US | 05/26/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Alison Fraser's "Men In My Life" is a sexy, smart, brilliantly conceived, well-orchestrated blast of creativity. Alison brings her uniquely sultry and beautifully appealing voice, and her profound hipness to re-examine and re-interpret some old tunes and adds some new ones -- even some she wrote. This CD is remarkably intimate - and somehow blends the best of B'way, pop, and rock into a personal statement that is simply irresistible... and don't miss William Finn's idiosyncratic cut -- his international recording debut!"
