One of the beloved soundtracks from "Northern Exposure"!

Review:

I purchased this CD for music to accompany the digital pictures I took on a vacation to Alaska. What I didn't expect was to become somewhat addicted to certain selections. Now, I frequently listen to the CD in my car on the way to and from work. It is both relaxing and energizing. I particularly like anything by David Schwartz, who is responsible for the well known "Theme from Northern Exposure" (which is too short here--I wanted more). His other numbers on this CD, "The Ladder" and "Mooseburger Stomp" are rousing and fun. I fell in love with the beautiful, soothing, deep alto voice I heard in "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams." What a surprise to learn that it belonged to Mary Ford (with Les Paul)! I hardly paid any attention to her in the 1950's. "Lay My Love" is infectious, anticipatory and wonderful. Who can resist the walking-waltz pace of "Un Mariage Casse?" Finally, Joanne Shenandoah will surely get her wish with her enchanting rendition of "I May Want a Man."
