i remember her horrible CBC christmas specials from when i was young. "soft favourite" radio stations are full of her bland covers of big american songs - she's a cancon hero. with good material i like her voice a lot, but she's often just really dull.

just discovered her, love her voice. I can see how she could get a bit samey though.

I kind of have a thing for easy listening/soft rock. While a lot of it is bland, it tends to be a source of great arrangements, solid songwriting, good voices, skilled studio musicians, etc.

Anne Murray's new memoir blows the lid off her image as the fresh-faced all-Canadian singing sensation.In a fast-paced and revealing autobiography, the 64-year-old superstar from Springhill, N.S., will surprise some when she announces that she was having an affair with her now ex-husband, Bill Langstroth, while he was still married to his first wife.Murray also admits that she smoked marijuana -- again, at odds with her long-standing, wholesome, girl-next-door image.She also admits that she was once so inebriated that she peed on famous composer and jazz trumpeter Herb Albert's pants while sitting on his lap in a cab in the Bahamas at the start of her show business career.

Murray has always attracted a strong lesbian fan base but insists she has never swung that way herself. One of her gay female admirers told her that gay women were looking for strong, independent, approachable women as role models, and "I definitely fit that bill."Her singing idol was the late Dusty Springfield, who came on to her and then drunkenly scratched Langstroth's face after Anne spurned her.

New Wave Anne Murray three years too late (but covered by Hazell Dean anyway):

Mine too, easily--very much in that late-'60s, Bacharach-with-French-horns mode.
This picture of her signing autographs yesterday showed up on my FB wall. Her centre is a non-profit: "All of the revenue generated from the operation of the Centre is used to provide employment for local people and for the ongoing maintenance of the Centre."

anyway, that Anne Murray / Wet Leg collaboration is going to be one for the ages. it will put “Justified and Ancient” to shame.
