BETTE MIDLER "the best bette" cd,2008.
i generally call her "the queen of covers"...as she has spent the best part of her career doing just that...covering other artists songs!
and thats not a bad thing sometimes...i think Bette does very cool covers...everything from rock,thru pop,boogie(yep,that word again!),ballads,motown etc etc...
this is a nineteen track compilation set comprising every genre from the old standard "in the mood" thru to her sultry raunchy version of The Stones "beast of burdon"...
also, like her as an actress also, been in some fine movies in the past...
best here for me has to be her cover of Australian artist Kamahl's "wind beneath my wings" which just pips out "the rose" on here.
reasonably good artist, but cant listen to covers all the time by anyone, just pleasant when this one comes out in the 'to play' pile
