4 out of 5 stars Very good debut.......2007-07-12

Broussard is a talented vocalist and a reasonable guitarist. I got "Momentary Setback" after "Carencro" and there's no way I can give it 5 stars standing up against his second CD, but it's still solid and shows a lot of promise that he realizes in "Carencro."

5 out of 5 stars Almost as special as Carencro!.......2007-05-31

I got Carencro first, and was blown away. Now I have Momentary Setback, and I love it too. Marc sounds fantastic and the songs are all "keepers". Marc is an incredible talent, he deserves much more recognition than he has. Will add to my daily listening.

2 out of 5 stars john mayer with talent.......2007-05-06

marc broussard is a very talented stage performer, he hasnt been able to translate his musical talent to a record yet. he has all the ability to jam and make worthwhile music, but wastes it on trying to be louisianas answer to john mayer, not the direction this skillful musician needs to be going in, if you have a lady who enjoys john mayers sound, then she'll love this crooners style, otherwise id take a pass on this cd...

5 out of 5 stars Heard it once and I knew.......2006-02-01

I was driving through Memphis when this great song lifted me up and sent me rocking thru traffic. I didn't get the artists name or the name of the song. However, I searched through alot of music until I found it. HOME by Marc Broussard. GREAT STUFF. Jane

5 out of 5 stars A well hidden treasure.......2006-01-29

I first heard this artist when a song of his was used on a soap opera I watch. It blew me away. This cd and his other cd Carencro are both wonderful I especially love the Carencro cd. His voice is a wonderful mix of blues and soul. He really puts alot of feeling in his music and you can almost feel his emotions as he sings. I think he is a little known treasure and I would purchase more of his music when it is available for purchase I rate his music five stars.

Despite racking up Tony nominations and/or box-office success with Nine, Grand Hotel, and Titanic, Maury Yeston remains a relatively unknown Broadway auteur. And yet, what a fabulous songwriter he is. Listen to "Home," for instance: This excerpt from Phantom (the other adaptation of Phantom of the Opera) has great melodic hooks, along with natural sweep and unrestrained emotion. Like every song on this CD, it also has such dramatic drive that it easily stands on its own outside of its regular narrative frame. This collection of new recordings provides an excellent overview of Yeston's talent, juxtaposing numbers from his three best-known scores (though there's only one from Titanic) with rarities and a generous selection from his 1991 song cycle December Songs. Christine Ebersole, Liz Callaway, and Betty Buckley turn in expectedly strong performances, but watch also for Laura Benanti (the star of the 2003 revival of Nine), Christine Andreas, and Foster Sutton, who completely make the material theirs. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

3 out of 5 stars What!? How is this possible?.......2007-01-20

How could one put together a Maury Yeston Songbook cd without a track from Andrea Marcovicci? He wrote a song cycle for her. Granted there are some great singers here but a grave oversight to not include Ms Marcovicci.

5 out of 5 stars Beauty and grace, charm and wit - Maury's got it all.......2006-11-14

Maury Yeston may be musical theatre's unsung genius to the public at large, but I've heard his praises sung many times. A friend convinced me to buy the original Broadway cast of "Nine", and while there were some fantastic songs and an undeniable melodic gift throughout, it left me lukewarm. The same with "Grand Hotel". And I couldn't stand "Titanic" - too big, too self-important, too reliant on booming low brass and bombastic orchestral swells.

"Phantom" was the only one of his scores that touched something other than distanced admiration in me. It was everything Sir Lloyd Webber's popera travesty could never quite aspire to - epic yet human, beautiful and touching, with songs that showed actual details and emotions. So it was with that in mind that I purchased this, figuring that maybe Maury could prove me wrong, shorn from the restrictions of a book musical format.

And by God, did he prove me right and then some.

Maybe it's the singers. Maybe it's the perfect orchestrations. Maybe it's just the absence of a plot to follow. More than likely, it's all three, but this is one of the most gorgeous, enjoyable, heartbreaking albums I've ever purchased. Yeston has assembled an impressive cast to give voice to his music - such heavy Broadway hitters as Alice Ripley, Brent Barrett, Betty Buckley, Christine Ebersole and Howard McGillin mix with up-and-comers like Eden Espinosa, Sutton Foster, and Brian d'Arcy James. But the most impressive turns are given by people I'd never heard of before - Johnny Rodgers (who?) has a voice spun from gold, and he's absolutely perfect in "Danglin'", a simple and powerful song despite some odd lyric choices by Yeston. Likewise Philip Chaffin in "My True Love" and "I Am Longing", and Michael Holland displays a warm and untrained performance of "Another Day in the Modern World". These three men, who I'd never heard of before, absolutely stole the show. It doesn't hurt that they're given some of the best songs from the album.

Of course, the rest of the ensemble uniformly turns in worthwhile performances. The professionalism of Broadway is gloriously evident here, each singer making their song uniquely theirs. Brent Barrett made me hear "Only With You" as if for the first time. Betty Buckley is surprisingly vulnerable in "I Had A Dream About You". Alice Ripley is her usual bundle of raw emotion in "Please Let's Not Even Say Hello", and turns in a rare comic performance in "Call From The Vatican" to great effect (listen to that surprise high note near the end! Wow, Alice!). Christine Ebersole is heartbroken, elated, vulnerable, and tough all in the course of "Grandmother's Love Letters"' 4 minutes.

There are some weak spots - Eden Espinosa is mostly one-note during her song, and while it's certainly a high note, it's nothing you haven't heard her do better elsewhere. Laura Benanti's "Now and Then" goes by without much notice, which is a shame for this talented actress. And Betty Buckley goes back to her usual high-volume stridence in "Be On Your Own", which despite its chilling music deserves a more nuanced performance than Buckley gives here. But these songs would be standouts on any other album, and it's only the company they keep that prevent them from being excellent.

Oh, and "Unusual Way", possibly Yeston's best-known song, is so beautifully performed here by Brian d'Arcy James and a three-piece band that I nearly cried hearing it. And that's quite a feat for a song that I swore never to listen to again after the seventeenth girl in a day auditioned with it (badly). But the gender swap works perfectly, and d'Arcy James' golden Irish tenor swings through the music effortlessly.

As for the band - there are no missteps here. Each song is given exactly what it needs, from the Romantic-with-a-capital-R string section on "Home", to the jazzy saxophone on "Letter From the Vatican", to "Be On Your Own", which is given a Herrmann-esque string section. Some particular touches stand out - that lovely acoustic guitar on "Danglin'", the simple piano line on "Modern World", and the sublime cello/piano outro in "Unusual Way" really stuck with me after the album stopped playing. And the recording is without fault - crisp, encompassing, personable and expansive as the mood requires. The whole album sounds fantastic.

There is such a wide range of style and substance here that each song would deserve purchasing individually. As a collection? It's bliss. If you're a fan of theater music, appreciate great vocals, or just need something to keep you company on long nights, this is required purchase.

5 out of 5 stars A perfect marriage of music and lyrics.......2006-09-07

I think Yeston must be the most underrated talent in music theatre. And not just music theatre ... for as far as I know, "Danglin'" is not from a show - a jewel of a song ... and a disarmingly honest rendition from Johnny Rogers (what a beautiful voice! Why hasn't he made more CD's?) Some other favourites are "New Words" (not enough parent-child love songs out there ... and I can't imagine it could be sung any better than this), "You're there too" (with a charming and unexpected twist), "Simple" (Callaway is superb), "Only With You" (loveable rogue!) ... to name but a few. Inspired music theatre writing. A must for any musical buff, composer or singer seeking repertoire that will help them stand out from the crowd.

3 out of 5 stars The Maury Yeston Songbook.......2006-08-30

A good album sung by good singers. I have been an admirer of Maury Yeston for a number of years . I am a great fan of "Nine"
which I consider his best work.(If possible try to listen to the
Australian Cast Recording with John Diedrich) I enjoy listening to artists like Alice Ripley, Brent Barrett, Sutton Foster,and my very favourite singer Liz Callaway. All in all a great CD to just sit back ,relax and enjoy Les Breen

5 out of 5 stars One of the best broadway/composer compilations ever made!.......2006-06-29

There are so many brilliant performances on this CD that I don't even know where to begin. From start to finish, this CD sweeps you away on a rollercoaster of emotions. Now, this CD isn't perfect by any means; a few of the artists are performing songs that aren't really suited to their abilities, but the heart is there and that's really all that matters in the end.

If you love Broadway, if you love GOOD music in general, and you want to be moved by songs rather than merely entertained, you must get this CD.

4 out of 5 stars Best Kept Secret.......2005-02-21

Personal favorites are "In Between The Lines" by Alice Ripley and "Count to Ten" by Brian Green...unfortunately not the Brian Green from 90210. Some of the songs are less than memorable, but on a whole its a must have for Alice Ripley/musical theater buffs.

4 out of 5 stars Great collection of broadway style songs.......2000-11-10

Great collection of broadway style songs. VERY talented vocalists in this collection! One of the finest I've heard.

5 out of 5 stars A Very Special Place.......1999-11-23

"A Special Place: Songs from the Heart", is indeed a very special CD. The songs and arrangements are unique, clever and lovely, and the performances are superb. Highly recommended listening.

4 out of 5 stars A Special Place glows with contemporary Broadway sound........1999-03-16

Any one looking for a cutting edge yet still good old fashioned Broadway musical should listen to this CD; any producer wishing to give Broadway the musical that it needs should look to Mr. Ost for the score.

5 out of 5 stars Delightful--GO GO GO GO BOB OST.......1999-03-15

Any album with KT Sullivan has to be entertaining and this fine collection is certainly that. Bob Ost's music runs the gamut of musical styles and will delight every musical theatre fanatic from here to Tokyo.

    Product Description

    Since 2003, RIPLEY has produced a sound that downtown NYC audiences have dubbed 'The Killers in bed with Blondie' . The band's influences (Queen, The Beatles, XTC) include eccentrics from rock's classic era, but RIPLEY's sound has a decidedly 21st century ring. Songwriter Alice Ripley (formerly a member of LAME), a bona fide Broadway star, received Tony and Drama Desk nominations for her performance in the cult hit SIDE SHOW. In 2001, Sh-K-Boom records released her critically acclaimed "Everything's Fine" - a mix of pop, folk and jazz that showcased haunting lyrics in a song cycle of soft-core suburban hell. With the newly sharpened edge of RIPLEY's latest offering, the music rocks hard and cuts the figure of an attention-getter with a killer voice. Ripley sings with a growl and a lilt for survivors of Susan Faludi's 'Backlash' era - the daughters of liberated women who took on the world. The result is a blazing trail of sound - Gwen Stefani's big sister who taught her everything she knows. Rock solid drummer Shannon Ford has performed, recorded and toured with a starry list of artists, including Paul Simon, Danny Gatton and Bob Dylan. Christopher Schelling is a new wave throwback whose keyboard styles range from "car alarm" to the ever-popular "Chopsticks". RIPLEY is the only band who would ever have him.
