Big Eye's
The Complete Tribute to Cher compiles the label's two previous volumes celebrating the diva's music. It runs the gamut of
Cher's lengthy career, from "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" and "I Got You Babe" through "If I Could Turn Back Time" and all the way to the pulsating dance-pop of "(This Is) A Song for the Lonely." While the performances are strong throughout, what's really impressive about this tribute is the detail shown in replicating the various versions of
Cher. While "Half Breed" is rendered in her husky '60s swagger, the shimmering club anthem "Believe" arrives complete with pitch correction. Recommended for
Cher fanatics. ~ Johnny Loftus
