Subtitled The All-Time Great Love Songs, this collection promotes the idea of Cher as torch ballad singer, a notion not as far-fetched as one would imagine. Taken from five different albums recorded during her '70s stay at the MCA and Kapp labels, "Blue" states a strong case for the lung power of Cher's vocal range, as well as her taste for challenging and off-the-beaten-path material. Her "Bittersweet White Light" album from 1973 (her first with a full orchestra) is here in its entirety, along with selections from "Foxy Lady", "Dark Lady", "Half Breed" and "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves", all from Sonny & Cher's second wave of popularity and many featuring Sonny Bono at the production helm. Highlights include nice readings of "By Myself," "I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good," "Am I Blue," "How Long Has This Been Going On," "More Than You Know," "The Man That Got Away" and "What'll I Do." Cher as torch singer? If you can suspend belief for the time it takes to pop this one in the player and listen, you're in for a very pleasant surprise.
