Review by Brittany Thompson

The Encore Collection by Kate Smith: A Vocal Time Machine That Doesn’t Skip Let’s cut to the chase—Kate Smith’s The Encore Collection isn’t your average throw-it-on-and-forget-it album. Released in 1997 (yeah, back when we still used CDs), this gem dives deep into genres like Stage & Screen, Pop, and Jazz, all wrapped up with her unmistakable vocal style. It’s like someone took a time machine to mid-20th-century America, scooped up all the feels, and slapped them onto one record. And honestly? It works. Now, let me hit you with two tracks that’ll stick to your brain like peanut butter on toast. First up: “God Bless America.” If you don’t feel at least a tiny lump in your throat while listening to this one, check your pulse—you might be an alien. Kate belts it out with so much heart that even if patriotism isn’t really your thing, you’ll find yourself humming along anyway. There’s something about the way she holds those notes—it’s not just singing; it’s storytelling. You can almost picture her standing center stage, mic in hand, ready to make everyone cry happy tears. Or maybe ugly-cry tears. Either way, tissues may be required. Then there’s “Danny Boy.” Oh man, this track is basically emotional whiplash wrapped in melody. The piano intro alone sets the mood—soft but haunting, like walking through fog on a moody morning. When Kate starts singing, her voice wraps around you like a warm blanket made of nostalgia and Irish mist. By the end, you’re either reaching for another tissue or questioning every life choice that led you here. Pro tip: Do NOT listen to this while eating onion rings unless you want salty tears mixing with salty snacks. The rest of the album keeps the vibe alive with classics like “Climb Every Mountain” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” but I won’t spoil everything for ya. Let’s just say it’s packed with enough big feelings to fill a Broadway theater twice over. Plus, how can you not love a tracklist featuring “Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing”? It’s practically begging to be played during a black-and-white movie montage. Here’s the kicker though—the whole thing feels kinda timeless. Sure, the production screams ‘90s BMG Direct Marketing vibes, but Kate’s voice? Eternal. Like finding an old vinyl in your grandma’s attic and realizing it slaps harder than half your Spotify playlist. So, would I recommend The Encore Collection? Absolutely. Just don’t blame me when you catch yourself randomly belting “Born Free” in the shower or tearing up at stoplights because “My Cup Runneth Over” came on shuffle. Trust me, it happens. Final thought: Listening to Kate Smith is like having coffee with a wise old friend who knows exactly what to say to make you smile—and also cry a little. Now excuse me while I go recover from my own feelings.
