Ally McBeal Vol.1 - Soundtrack

If you have ever watched Ally McBeal there is no way that you will have escaped the talents of Vonda Shepherd who spends her time playing the piano and singing in the bar in which all of the characters go to relax at the end of the day. Vonda?s music is quite distinctive, both in the songs that she chooses to sing and the sound of her voice. Vonda had albums out before Ally McBeal, but none of them were very successful, however since her performances on the show it has been quite a different matter. There are now 2 cd?s available to accompany the series, ?Songs from Ally McBeal? and ?Heart and Soul new songs from Ally McBeal?. Being a great fan of the programme ...  Read the complete review

Songs from Ally McBeal featuring Vonda Shepard is the first of a trio of soundtracks from the hit television series, Ally McBeal. If you haven’t seen Ally McBeal yet you are really missing out, it’s a truly magical comedy about a lawyer and how she battles through life and love. However, for me, the real star is not Calista Flockheart (actress who plays Ally) but is Vonda Shepard. If you’ve seen the programme, you will instantly recognise Vonda and the talent she possesses – she is found every episode down in the bar, playing the piano and singing wonderfully whilst the ‘stars’ dance the programme to a close. Now Vonda ...  Read the complete review

I am totally addicted to the TV show (as you will have read in my opinion of it ;-)), so it was only natural that I decided to buy the soundtrack. As there are now 2 available, I wasn't sure which one to chose as the actual names of the songs didn't mean much to me, and in the end I chose this one purely because it had the theme tune on it - so that's at least one song I'd recognise! Unfortunately, the album was a bit of a let down as it didn't trigger anywhere near the kind of emotions I usually experience when watching the show. Also, because the episodes which the songs correspond to were broadcast so long ago I can't remember their ...  Read the complete review

Ally McBeal is always a strange one for me. It really shouldn't be my type of show (I always think the Soprano's wasn't quite brutal enough) but I loved it. Actually found myself looking forward to the evening if there was an episode on that night. And one of the things I enjoyed about it was the Vonda Shepard songs and covers. Now, this is another enigma because she really isn't my type of singer - way too easily listening. I do like a bit of grit in my songs. But for some strange reason I was gripped by her every note. From the title song, "Searching My Soul" to "Tell him" I listened intently. There is something about the latter - just an ...  Read the complete review

I'm a big fan of Ally Mcbeal and this album is totally awsom! It has greatest song from Ally Mcbeal and it's fun and Ally style. I think that it's a perfect gift for all Ally fans. I have this dance teacher who's just crazy about Ally, so although I don't own this album I have listened it guite a lot. She used to play it in every lesson. So it was nice to listen it and sing along! Songs are pretty good too, they have that rhythm they're pretty guick and all! And of course Vonda Shepard has a great voice. There's lots of classics featuring in this album, lots of cover versions, but I like them. Ally has the best music of all tv series, ...  Read the complete review
