Songs For The New Depression

2014 limited anniversary edition reissue. Bette Midler's 1976 masterpiece included some of the finest renditions ever of classic standards like a rockin' disco version of Strangers In The Night, the stunning Arif Mardin arrangement of Old Cape Cod, as well as one of Midler's own penned classics Mr. Rockefeller. Always supporting the upcoming writers and artists, Tom Waits gets represented early on with her brilliant interpretation of Shiver Me Timbers, as well as a knock out Philly soul rendition of Phoebe Snow's I Don't Want The Night To End. Includes a rare duet with Bob Dylan of his song Bucket's Of Rain. Other guest musicians include Todd Rundgren & Utopia, The Brecker Brothers & Rick Derringer. Remastered impeccably by Joe Reagoso (Billy Joel, Todd Rundgren) from the original Atlantic tapes.
