Music Review: Judy at Carnegie Hall: Judy in Person, Judy Garland

 The Album Judy at Carnegie Hall was released by Capitol Records in 1961.  Judy Garland had recorded an earlier album, but this was in fact life to capture the energy og Garland entertaining.  Garlan plays many big band songs including, Over the Rainbow and Almost Like Being in Love from "Brigadoon."  Smile and the Whole World Smiles with you was a favorite.  The audience was obviously very much into the music as the demanded three or four encores.  This album won the grammy for album of the year.  It is very good and the energy is great.  Garland also talked considerably with the audience talking about songs and sharing stories.  It also won a grammy for best album cover, and Garland won entertainer of the year, the first woman to do so.
