Amazon.com: There's a feeling you get when you put on an Anne Murray record, and--apologies in advance to all you anti-sentimentalists--it's best summarized by the vocal legend herself in the classic tune 'I Just Fall in Love Again.' You can't help yourself; you fall in love. Those who've been listening along swollen-heartedly since the 1970s know the feeling well, and those who are about to discover Murray via this duets album and its handful of younger-skewing songs--the Nelly Furtado team-up on 'Daydream Believer' especially--are going to have a hard time not submitting. It's the tenderness that hooks you: Murray's deep, confident voice manages to be maternal without being claustrophobic, an effect magnified here by expert vocal partners like Carole King, Emmylou Harris, and Olivia Newton John. The few left-field choices--Indigo Girls, k.d. lang, a ghostly appearance by Dusty Springfield--aren't hard-left enough to muck up the mood. And the song selection doesn't strike a false note either: 'Cotton Jenny' sounds as right on an Anne Murray CD as 'You Needed Me.' Which means that if you have a soft spot for Murray at all, even one that's not quite as cushy as it used to be, you should prepare to be sucked in. It happens every time, as the song goes. --Tammy La Gorce

Rating: - Anne Murray Duets: Friends & Legends
The first five songs work OK, but the rest of the CD is blank. I am very disappointed in this item.
Rating: - OK
OK duets singing Anne's songs. Nothing new, but if you are a fan of Anne, then you will want to get this one.
Rating: - Anne Murray Duets -- One of the best CDs Ever
If you're an Anne Murray fan, as I am, you're sure to love this CD. It truly exceeds my expectations. When I read the description, I thought it sounded really good, but Wow!! It is much better than just "good". It has to be one of THE BEST collections of beautiful music all in one place that I've ever heard!!!! The ladies Anne selected to sing with her here are awesome! I have several favorites--too many to name them all. I MUST, however, mention the duets with her daughter (Dawn Langstroth), with Celine Dion, and with the French Canadian singer Isabelle Boulay (in French). It doesn't get any better than that!!!! Please enjoy!!
Rating: - Glad to hear her voice again.
It was great to hear this wonderful lady again. She sounds as good as ever and those accompanying her add to the pleasure. If you like her, you'll want to get - no you should get - this CD.
And if you're not familiar with her singing, you don't know what you're missing.
