Martin Charnin - Annie (1999 Television Film)

Martin Charnin — 2013-05-20T09:54:27-05:00

The cast of Disney's 1999 television production of Annie reads like a who's who of Tony winners: Grace is played by Audra McDonald (Ragtime, Carousel, Master Class), Rooster is Alan Cumming (Cabaret), and Lily is Kristin Chenoweth (You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown). Add Alicia Morton (Young Cosette in Broadway's Les MisÉrables) in the title role and Victor Garber (Sweeney Todd, Assassins) as Daddy Warbucks, and you have a cast that is refreshingly not driven by Hollywood box office, other than Kathy Bates as Miss Hannigan. ResumÉs aside, how is the soundtrack? Well, McDonald might be a touch operatic and Garber a little young, but these are minor quibbles with a cast that is effective throughout (even Bates). Morton might not be the belter Andrea McArdle was in the original cast, but she's very good, and if anything the difference makes her sound like the little girl she is. Perhaps the best moment is McArdle--still sounding great at the ripe old age of 35--making a brief cameo as the star-to-be in "N.Y.C." Longtime fans of the show will notice that, in order to fit a two-hour prime-time window, the production had to leave out most of the historical context of the FDR administration ("A New Deal for Christmas," "We'd Like to Thank You, Herbert Hoover"), as well as some other familiar numbers ("You Won't Be an Orphan for Long," "Annie"). This soundtrack is thus best considered a souvenir of the television production or a complement to, rather than a replacement for, the original cast recording. --David Horiuchi

Peter Ustinov - Grand Prix of Gibraltar

Peter Ustinov — 2013-05-19T04:38:53-05:00

Sir Peter Ustinov's 1958 spoof grand prix commentary finally makes it to CD, having been available on cassette since 1991. Recorded for Riverside Records, Ustinov does all the voices & engine noise of this imaginary event set in Gibraltar with some gloriously politically incorrect national stereotypes that wouldn't seem out of place on today's GP grid. 2002.

Weird Al Yankovic - Dare to Be Stupid

Weird Al Yankovic — 2013-05-19T00:46:36-05:00

A handful of contemporary movies have whimsically looked back at the '80s. Various bands have borrowed from the time period's musical trends with a tongue-in-cheek attitude. But Weird Al was busy sending up that decade while it was still happening. On Dare to Be Stupid, Yankovic parodies, among other things, smash hits by two reigning divas of yore. "Like A Surgeon" turns Madonna's song into an inexperienced doctor's first-person account of his, uh, practice. Weird Al's version of a certain Cyndi Lauper hit proclaims, "Girls Just Want to Have Lunch." In this loony world, the object of desire in "I Want a New Drug" is transformed into a duck. On "Yoda," Yankovic targets the Kinks' early '70s hit, "Lola." Who else but Weird Al would turn a song about sexual identity and confusion into a tune about George Lucas's "wrinkled and green" creature? --Fred Cisterna

Denis Leary - Lock N Load

Denis Leary — 2013-05-18T22:39:05-05:00

Lots of comedians like to think of themselves as rock stars, but Leary makes good on that threat with Lock 'n Load. Leary's frantic concert ranting is intercut MTV-style with comic song parodies (including a gothic mocking of the Love Boat theme), idle chatter, noise bursts, sound collages, and guest spots from the likes of Janeane Garofalo (slamming Fiona Apple) and musicians Adam Roth and Greg Dulli. Leary takes no prisoners as he goes after Michael Flatley, Marv Albert, Hanson, the Kennedy clan, the pope, ecology activists, 7-Eleven counter help, fat Vegas gamblers, and even his own kids. He's at his angry, acid best when he takes on the annoying '90s trends of multiple body piercings, microbrews, and flavored coffee. --Michael Ruby

Various Artists - Meet The Deedles: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Various Artists — 2013-05-18T17:06:14-05:00

This is the film that begs the existential question "Why?" on so many levels it could drive the most sublime Buddhist nuts. How bad is this nit-wit teen surf romp? Jazz singer Diane Shuur, whose unfortunate nickname happens to be "Deedles," sued the film's distributor, claiming it made her look bad! The soundtrack is indeed better than the film, leaning on heavy doses of late '90s ska revivalism for its charms. "Hawaii Five-O" with a blue beat? You betcha! And one more question, Grasshopper: Is the tail (the soundtrack) now wagging the dog (this big, bad bow-wow of a movie)? --Jerry McCulley
