This isn't really the soundtrack to Bette Midler's CBS sitcom, although the show's charming theme song, "Nobody Else But You," is included here. Instead, it's one of Midler's best and most consistent albums, thanks in large part to producer Don Was' canny arrangements, and a smart selection of songs that really seem to engage Midler on an emotional level.
In many ways, this is a ballad-oriented R&B album; Midler covers the Marvellettes' obscure '60s gem "That's the Way Heartaches Are Made," the Temptations' "Just My Imagination" (in a version quite close to the original) as well as hits by Teddy Pendergrass and Earth, Wind And Fire. She also turns folkie Patty Griffin's wry "Moses" into a world music romp much like some of the uptempo numbers on Paul Simon's GRACELAND, and delivers a stunning take on Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach's latter day classic "God Give Me Strength." Interestingly, "In These Shoes," a very funny Latin-tinged song that's the only thing here specifically tailored to Midler's comic persona as the Divine Miss M, was co-written by the under-appreciated (in America) singer/songwriter Kirsty MacColl.
