ALL THE BEST
Not the bestBy DARRYL STERDAN -- Winnipeg Sun
Tina Turner All the Best (Parlophone/EMI) Tina Turner isn't trying anymore. Hasn't been for years, in fact. And here's the proof. All the Best, the 64-year-old soul-pop icon's two-disc retrospective, comes nearly 15 years after her hits set Simply the Best -- and doesn't improve on it in any significant way. Sure, you get a few decent '90s soundtrack cuts, duets and singles like Missing You, GoldenEye and Tonight with David Bowie. And you get an old version of Proud Mary. But calling tepid cuts from 1999's forgettable Twenty Four Seven her "Best" is a stretch. And the trio of new tracks are bland, overproduced throwaways. The rest is a rehash of Simply the Best, from the Private Dancer hits to the Ike and Tina oldies and the dated '90s synth-pop. Call it Mostly the Best -- And a Lot of Stuff That Simply Isn't.
