Fun Recordings

If you are looking for a Hair cast abum...this is NOT it. If you want to hear the score performed by an amazing array of broadway and pop belters, this is the CD for you. From the great Lillias White's powerhouse of Aquarius, to the ultimate recording of Let the Sunshine In, every song is done...

Belt 'em if you got 'em.

A disclaimer - you'll probably have more fun with this recording if you think of it as "Songs from Hair". This is NOT a recording of a traditional version of the show; it's more a cabaret, with each song being sung by a different artist. While this completely removes continuity and character...

Unreal!!!

A fabulous cast including the incredible talents of Lillias White, Jennifer Hudson, Ana Gasteyer, Soshana Bean and Eden Espinosa! The journey this CD takes you on is truly a treat! The new songs on the disc are FANTASTIC! (Eden and Ana) The men in the cast are just as wonderful as the...

This recording is very disappointing.....

After reading the below reviews, I decided to purchase this CD. I am a huge fan of the play, movie, and their respective recordings- BUT, this CD is terrible. The songs are very oversung- some of them even sound like they have a choir in the background! There is no continuity to the singers,...

Power vocals en masse!

My one complaint about this recording is, "Too Much Shouting!" Yes, in these days of "American Idol," this is very much in vogue, but good golly! In the song "White Boys," for example, the three singers, all of whom have powerful voices, seem to be trying to outsing each other. Normally, I...

SHRILL!!!

Most of the songs are great, but there are far too many singers who "oversouled" the songs. One of my favorite songs "Easy to be Hard" sounds like an American Idol or Apollo finalist trying way too hard.

Fantastic! Wonderful new version of a classic!

If you are a fan of Hair, I cannot recommend this CD highly enough! I had the original Broadway cast album committed to memory, and human nature tends to downgrade anything that varies from a familiar, revered classic. But I loved this version not only as much as the original recording but even...

Awesome!

I first heard about this when listening to Seth Rudestky on Radio Playbill. I bought mine from Footlight in NYC. I just couldn't wait for it any longer and had to add it to my collection. I was so excited when he talked about it. Hair has always been one of my favorite musicals. To hear so many...

Great reinterpretation of a Broadway classic.

I approached this recording with trepidation.Everyone has grown up with HAIR. Everyone knows HAIR. Even if you think you don't, you do. So many of these songs have wormed their ways into pop culture that you'll be finding yourself wondering aloud (as I did the first time I heard the OBCR),...

so great

I loved the original cast recording and was hesitant to hear this one, thinking they might put a pop sound to it that would be unnatural. But with people like Raul Esparza, Adam Pascal, SHoshana Bean, Ana Gasteyer, Julia Murney, Sherie Rene Scott and Lea DeLauria - you can't go wrong. Gavin...
