5.0 out of 5 stars
Contemporary musicals should look here for inspiration,
This review is from: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Audio CD)
This is probably the best soundtrack ever produced by MGM studios, alongwith the equally outstanding "Singing in the Rain." From the uplifting"Bless your beautiful Hide" to the sweet ballad form of "When you're inlove",Seven brides for seven brothers should always be classed as one ofthe musical greats. The unmistakeable voice of Howard Keel adds to theHollywoodness of the musical where Jane Powell's more operatic voice givesa perfect nified performance. However, the unforgettable voice of RussTamblyn lifts this musical beyond all heights. "Goin courtin" is thedefinitive favourite among audiences where as I find "Sobbin Woman" to bethe highlight of the score. The only downfall is that with the CD youdon't get to view the spectacular dance scenes or the charasmaticrelationships the characters have. Thus being, I would recommend buyingthe DVD or video to accompany this CD. Brilliant

An old favourite in need of revival,
This review is from: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Audio CD)
Having watched the movie several thousand times, it was an simple choicefor me to buy this soundtrack at the first available oppurtunity. Theopening songs show MGM studios for what they really are good at, blissful,mesmorising musicals. Every song from "Bless your beautiful hide" to "goincourtin" brim with charisma and the voices of Howard Keel and Jane Powellmake reminising this movie an enjoyable experience. However, the true starof this soundtrack is Russ Tamblyn, also known for his roles in Tom Thumband West Side Story. His voice rings with almost child - like innicenseand he delivers his somewhat minor role of Gideon perfectly. (Listen toSobbin Women for a giggle.) The music made this soundtrack one of the mostmemorable Hollywood greats, and I would also recommend the purchasing ofthe video or DVD along with it. Sheer Brilliance.

OUTSTANDING,
By David - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Audio CD)
You know, I am a 14 year old boy, and I am very hard to please when it comes to musical soundtracks. But this was by far the best soundtrack I have ever listened to. I actually heard it before I saw the movie. I had to get a copy of my own. If you are in two thoughts about buying this and need someone to give you the all clear...I say BUY IT

a "Wonderful Day" with Jane Powell, Howard Keel and company!,
By Byron Kolln - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Audio CD)
SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS is one of the most beloved musicals ever made by M-G-M. The sparkling score by Johnny Mercer and Gene DePaul is perfectly showcased in the original soundtrack album, newly-remixed in stereo by Rhino Handmade.The story concerns the Pontipee brothers, rugged mountainmen who are all in need of wives. When Adam (Howard Keel) meets the lovely and vivacious Milly (Jane Powell) on his annual visit to town, he impetuously proposes and marries her. Milly's romantic dreams are shattered when on arrival at his farm, she discovers that she also has to keep house for his six rowdy brothers. Milly has her work cut out for her as she instructs her brothers-in-law in the finer points of courtship and manners. The musical takes place amidst the breathtaking vistas of the Rockies. Jane Powell, in probably her greatest musical role, is a delight as Milly, singing the lilting ballad "Wonderful, Wonderful Day", and the soft "When You're in Love". Howard Keel adds his strong voice to the buckskin-wearing Adam and the jaunty "Bless Yore Beautiful Hide". The brothers (led by Russ Tamblyn, Tommy Rall and ballet star Jacques d'Amboise) lead the charge in "Going Co'tin" and "Sobbin' Women", as well as the winsome "Lonesome Polecat". The brides (led by Julie Newmar, Ruta Lee and Broadway star Virginia Gibson), shine in the gorgeous "June Bride" number. The original soundtrack album is a must-own for any show music lover. Highly-recommended. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful:

If You Liked the Movie, You'll Love the CD. . .,
By Wendy Myles - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Audio CD)
If you enjoyed the movie, you'll love the CD, particularly for its bonus tracks, including Howard Keel's rehearsal recording of "Bless Yore Beautiful Hide", which, although less vigouously presented than his usual style, is, in its own way, charming. You can also focus, undistracted by the spectacular dancing, on the six-minute rendition of the "Barn Dance", superbly performed by the ace M-G-M Studio Orchestra.However, most outstanding of these 6 bonus gems are the Academy Award-winning lyricist (for "Moon River") Johnny Mercer's original lyrics, heard in the demo recordings of "Goin' Co'tin'" and "Sobbin' Women". PRICELESS!!! Stanley Donen, who directed the film, performs the former, and audibly collapses into laughter at some of "Goin' Co'tin'"'s words, as will you. But the highlight is Johnny Mercer himself, performing (with composer Gene De Paul) the original "Sobbin' Women". Mercer must have been planning on the Hays Office being closed on the day he intended to submit his lyrics, for there is no doubt whatsoever that the censorship bureau would NEVER have permitted those words to be heard in an entertainment aimed at families. One rather thinks Mercer wrote these words only to be sung at stag parties, and this demo track does sound as if it were performed at one. IT'S A RIOT! Go directly to Track 27. |
