While the soundtrack to the first season of Showtime's lesbian-themed dramatic series set the tone for the show's emotionally-rooted, if ever-eclectic musical sensibility, the choices here often have a more nervy, contemporary edge. Dusty Springfield's `60s blue-eyed soul classic "Just a Little Lovin'" offers an alluring lead in, but quickly fast forwards to the Siouxsie-channeling, retro-new wave spunk of Organ's "Brother," the electrobeat sass of "Playgirl" by Ladytron and Martina Topley-Bird's spare, moody "Ilya." Heart makes a similarly intimate contribution via "No Other Love," while Shawn Colvin's familiar "Sunny Came Home" and Iron & Wine's "Naked As We Came" offer islands of relative calm in the midst of more electric fare like the club-punk of LeTigre's "On the Verge" and slinky, post-modern melodrama of "Where Do I Begin" by Shirley Bassey and awayTEAM. BETTY's alt-pop fueled, snark-smart show theme closes the set, and BETTY also collaborates with Pam Grier on a sexually dizzy cover of "Some Kind of Wonderful." --Jerry McCulley

Summary: Hot Hot Hot! 2006-07-06
Comment: This CD is hot, like the tv-series and like all those beautiful actresses on the series. Do you need some help imagining Shane or one of the other girls standing next to you in your living room, then just put on this steamy CD. You should check out 'Brother' from the Organ. When I first heard it I thought 'That's Debbie - not on the L word - Harry'. Well, it's not Debbie, but definitely sounds like her. There are some classic romantics, like 'Just a little lovin' by Dusty Springfield. What a steamy voice! Or 'Where do I begin' by Shirley Bassey, with a nice beat. And you can dance as well with 'Playgirl' by Ladytron, 'Mmmnn' by Grandadbob or 'Get on' by Dirtmitts. That sure will get you in the mood for some L. The CD has one flaw, there are three songs by BETTY on this CD and that's one too many. The cost: less diversity. But even still, I think its a CD for a hot party. And remember, on that occasion, we should all be gay and feel sexy! So, why not buy this kinda 'L. inclined' party CD? It's got all the ingredients.
