Something for the Boys/I'm Your Girl

Editorial Reviews
Album Description
Joni’s fans are among the most loyal in the pop world, and they actually suggested the concepts for these two albums! "Something for the Boys" actually arose from Joni’s countless tours of military bases during the Korean War and consists of the songs most requested by soldiers on her visits, while "I’m Your Girl" is aimed at the early-’60s college crowds who asked her to record a jazz album. Put ’em together and you have two more of Joni’s classic MGM albums on a single CD, both arranged and conducted by the great Jimmie Haskell…a Collectors’ Choice Music exclusive!

Customer Reviews:

Great compilation.......2002-05-10

I don't actually own this particular compilation, however, since I own nearly every recording represented on these discs...I think I'm qualified to comment. This is a wonderful representation of the high quality of work that DRG Records does.
The previous review is way off the mark. This is definitely not a waste of time or money. This is 25 years of preserving Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, studio recordings (mostly from the city center concerts), etc. So what if they "aren't as good as the original", DRG is preserving many recordings and artists that other mainstream labels don't or won't. You have wonderful recordings from Brian Stokes Mitchell, Nathan Lane, Debbie Gravitte, Tyne Daly, Anthony Perkins, Joanna Gleason, Marin Mazzie, Carol Burnett, Heather Headley, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, etc., and many of these are from Original Cast Recordings just as they appeared on Broadway. This is an excellent sampler of the work going on at DRG. No...I'm not an employee...just an avid listener and collector of theatre recordings.

A disappointment.......2001-12-15

There's a reason you've probably never heard of most of the songs and shows on this album, not to mention most of the artists. This is a second-rate collection of second-rate numbers performed by mostly second-rate artists. In the case of the shows that were revivals, the performances on the original cast recordings were better. Don't waste your money.
