Relaxed
and in control, Midler shakes her head at war and famine in the enigmatic hit
''From a Distance'' and tears you apart with ''Since You Stayed Here'' and ''He
Was Too Good to Me.'' She doesn't wrap herself up in the emotion of a song the
way she used to, melody be hanged. The sound of a bad girl moving gracefully into
middle age, Lives received four Grammy nominations. B+
Stereo
Review (1/91)
"Her
first non-soundtrack album in nearly eight years...Midler returns to the kind
of middle ground
she inhabits best, a musical arena in which she can be free to be both emotional
and campy without crossing the line into excessive sentimentality."
