4.0 out of 5 stars The better of two Wilners., 21 Jan 2005
By A Customer
Having bought this CD, and finding it, for the greater part, very good, I bought its predecessor: "Lost In The Stars." The latter proved to be not as engaging ( I believe it is now deleted, however), and also wondered why Lou Reed had two bites of the "September Song" cherry. Neither version is up to scratch (I am fan of Reed's early works.) He manages to transform a sublime composition into what sounds like a stereotypical Reed number on "L.I.T.S"; but attempts a spoken-word interpretation on this album. I am always in favour of radical re-workings of songs, but Reed fails here, in my opinion. Bryan Ferry has recorded a great version of it on "As Time Goes By."

As for the rest: most are well-crafted, and quite different (quite a few songs-abeit performed by different artists-are on both albums) than "L.I.T.S". The latter really bears the idiosynratic stamp of Van Dyke Parks.

Nick Caves' "Mack.." is far better then Sting's version.

Charlie Haden's (with superb grafting-on of Weill's vocals) take on "Speak Low" is a beauty.

I really haven't the energy to provide even a brief review of every number, but will also mention: William Burroughs' excellent reading of "What Keeps Mankind Alive" (Tom Waits does an excellent job with this track on the other album) ; and the original recording of Bertolt Brecht's "Mack The Knife" puts Cave in the shade.

The outstanding numbers (two) by Teresa Stratas (especially "Surabaya Johnny" are the highlights.
