While I agree that there are tracks here that should have been dumped in the trash, there are enough songs in this album to compensate for all the mishaps and whatever adjective you wish to fill in between to describe yours thoughts about its moderate artistic and commercial success.it is true that she sang IT NEVER HAS SEEN SNOW and THE SWEETEST SOUNDS to near perfection, but many have forgotten several songs that deserve equal attention and praise.For one, the song ONE NOTE SAMBA and GLAD TO BE UNHAPPY were sung wonderfully, and I am quite amaze that many have neglected to give mention to these gems. Barbra was in great form. Despite the silly improvisation on the first song mentioned above, Barbra did a superb version of these songs. She was, at first, comical and hautingly dramatic the next.Overall, the album provided some great listening, and that should be enough to buy this album.
