Customer Rating: Summary: Great Artist and Song Stylist Comment: If she lives long enough and keeps developing her craft, Amy will rank among the great female vocalists of all time: Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald, etc. On this album she manages to rise above some horrendous arrangements and tedious percussion (is it human or machine-made?) on "Round Midnight" and "Moody's Mood for Love" and others. Some of the newer material is outstanding and is brilliantly executed: "I Heard Love Is Blind" and "F*** Me Pumps" come to mind. Curiously, the lengthy title song is my least favorite on the album, but I don't care: There are so many others to enjoy and savor. I wish she would take better care of herself. It is as if she is slowly committing suicide before our eyes...and no one seems able to stop her. Customer Rating: Summary: A great album, but... Comment: GAWD HOW I HATE THOSE "EXPLICIT" and FBI logos that ruin the covers.
It REALLY stands out here.
Dont the record companies have the brains to print a 1000, for $1.00, STICKERS that can be peeled off -
Some great artwork and covers are ruined becasue the EXPLICIT is part of the cover artwork Customer Rating: Summary: what a talent Comment: BACK IN BLACK was my favorite cd of the last two years. so i wanted to go back and hear how our amy sounded before. its not as stylized its a bit looser but the two cd set is chock full of incredible performances lots of great originals that are not particularly in the style of BIB but still noteworthy and on the second cd there are some exquisite remakes of some amazing standards and some interesting remixes of songs from the first cd. the booklet is full of pictures of a beautiful young healthy woman. what a talent. what a shame if we lose her. Customer Rating: Summary: Amy Winehouse Deluxe edition Comment: I was recently turned on to this amazing and talented young woman. I purchased her "Back to Black" album earlier this year and instantly fell in love with her music. I was visiting a friend in Wash DC a few months ago and he had a few of her songs from A.W. "Frank" on his computer. He told me that she would have a deluxe edition coming out. Of course, when returned home to ATL I searched amazon.com and found the "Deluxe edition" of her "Frank Album" and ordered it. I have truly listened to this CD ever since I received it in the mail. You will not be disappointed. SUPER SUPER SUPER Vocalist. I love her despite the fact that she has a serious problem with her life on drugs right now. BUY this album now and Get hooked on A.W. Customer Rating: Summary: Voice Sounds Good Comment: This is a good CD. Her voice sounds good. It has a modern sound. But I would have like more variety of styles of songs.
This 2 CD Deluxe set features Amy's first album "Frank" and a second disc that features 17 previously unheard songs. These include original demos for the "Frank" sessions, B-sides and remixes. Between the two discs there are 29 songs here!!
