Two Words, One Answer.
Megan Mullally
 Free Again! $8.99 I will confess to two things up front: a deep-seated weakness for great cover songs and a longtime admiration of Megan Mullally's skill at handling them. (And, in the interests of completely full disclosure, I'm not only a friend of Ms. Mullally's, I designed the CD cover under her art direction.) Biases aside, I believe that anyone who enjoys well-wrought tunifying--and especially those who appreciate the art of the "story" song--will love this album. It's a rich and eclectic mix of songs from a variety of genres, beautifully played and produced. Mullally's strong theater chops allow her to breathe new life into old standards, while her great ear for a good song (and exacting standards in general) mean top-notch range and product. Frankly, nothing beats hearing Megan and the band in person, especially in a small, theater or boite-like setting. But this disk comes as close as a disk could. Great fun, over and over again.  Big As a Berry $17.98 This is on permanent shuffle for me. I was granted the incredible fortune to be introduced to this by a friend. I was never a Will & Grace fan, but she has given a genius collection of eccentric songs an incredible voice and interpretation. Nothing mainstream to see here, folks.  Will & Grace: Let the Music Out! $11.96 Because a friend of mine likes "Will & Grace" as much I like it, I buyed this CD two years ago as a gift for him when I saw it in Mexico..... and then I was sad that I didn't buy one to myself... When you listen this CD, you feel the spirit of the show... that's why I buy one to myself... and suggest you must do the same...
