Review for CD I:
1. Theme From Northern Exposure - David Schwartz: The Full Theme from the Show, a nice Jazzy song, very catchy. The whole reason why most people buy this CD.
2. Jolie Louise - Daniel Lanois: A slow country/folk like song that tells the story of Jolie Louise. Very easy to listen to.
3. Hip Hug-Her - Booker T. & The MG's: It's Booker T & The MG's, what more needs to be said about it? It's a fun old R&B song from the 60's.
4. At Last - Etta James: Probably the most famous song Etta James ever did. This song is a classic and should be in everyone's music collection. This song is full of sorrow and love at the same time.
5. Everybody Be Yoself - Chic Street Man: This is a very fun, very upbeat song that reminds you have a day out on a Caribbean Island. It's guaranteed to put you in an upbeat mood.
6. Alaskan Nights - David Schwartz: A slow clarinet song, but definitely one of my favorite tracks on the CD. It's great for when you just want to slow down and enjoy life a little bit. It's a very somber song, but well done.
7. Don Quichotte - Magazine 60: An upbeat song in Spanish. It has kind of an 80's/Techno flair to it, which lends to the eclecticism of this album. It's another one of my favorites.
8. When I Grow Too Old To Dream - Nat "King" Cole & His Trio: In my opinion you can't go wrong with Nat King Cole. It's a slow, somber song, very memorable.
9. Emabhaceni - Miriam Makeba: A catchy song, I'm not sure if it's an actual Native American/Indian song, but it's fun to listen to.
10. Gimme Three Steps - Lynyrd Skynyrd: In direct contrast to the previous two songs on the album, this is a pure rock and roll. This one is sure to wake you up.
11. Bailero (from "Chants D'Auvergne") - Frederica Von Stade - This song is very slow, kind of an Opera like song. It's my least favorite track on the CD, but it's not without its own merit.
12. David Schwartz Medley: Funeral In My Brain, A / Woody The Indian / Tellakutans: Another one very similar to Track 6. The Medley is a nice mix. It starts out with a nice upbeat Italian sounding intro. It then moves into a slower moving clarinet song, typical of what you would hear in Northern Exposure. Finally it slips into an almost surreal sounding tune that if you close your eyes, you can almost imagine being out on the Alaskan Tundra, under the Northern Lights.
Review for CD II:
I purchased this CD for music to accompany the digital pictures I took on a vacation to Alaska. What I didn't expect was to become somewhat addicted to certain selections. Now, I frequently listen to the CD in my car on the way to and from work. It is both relaxing and energizing. I particularly like anything by David Schwartz, who is responsible for the well known "Theme from Northern Exposure" (which is too short here--I wanted more). His other numbers on this CD, "The Ladder" and "Mooseburger Stomp" are rousing and fun. I fell in love with the beautiful, soothing, deep alto voice I heard in "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams." What a surprise to learn that it belonged to Mary Ford (with Les Paul)! I hardly paid any attention to her in the 1950's. "Lay My Love" is infectious, anticipatory and wonderful. Who can resist the walking-waltz pace of "Un Mariage Casse?" Finally, Joanne Shenandoah will surely get her wish with her enchanting rendition of "I May Want a Man."
