Producer: Phil Ramone, Sinead O'Connor
3rd studio album - #27 US, #6 UK, #17 AUS
singles - Success Has Made A Failure Of Our Home - #18 UK, #37 AUS
.............Don't Cry For Me Argentina - #53 UK
A platinum album gives you license to do whatever you want. Sinead chose the covers route with this standards album which was a risky move so
early in her career. Sales were dismal compared to her Grammy winning last effort. Her commercial appeal had dropped off after some
controversial comments. The standout track for me here is her cover of Don't Cry For Me Argentina which did not even chart here. On the other
end the closing instrumental of the same song sounds nothing like the vocal version and her version of Love Letters does nothing for the
original. And lastly her rant against the catholic church need not have been shared.[/QUOTE]
This album hasn't been covered by AMG yet but this review by a previous album might prove instructive: http://www.allmusic.com/album/im-not-bos...0002693309 And then the songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVE2ovAdgx4 << Change 1941 to 2001 and 2008, and you have Ireland in a nutshell...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJK0sibYels << Been up and down the road and now wants fidelity to one guy--maybe you?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUAQoWfY9iQ << If she took this album and a few carefully selected others on the cabaret circuit, she would freaking kill.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l98g8cvvTXQ << That Phil Ramone stepped down from his executive duties to personally supervise this project speaks volumes--he doesn't back mutts or losers--he's got to believe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlDX83LVDQc << a universal aspiration, no?
BTW..."...so early in her career...". She's been making recorded music for 25 years. How long did she need to wait?
