If any of you Diana Krall lovers out there could have only one album of hers, which would it be? I'm going to purchase a disc of hers for my mom's b'day and am just wondering if there is any kind of consensus about a particular disc which best captures her beautiful voice.

Well, I own and like them all. But if I had to pick, it would be "All For You" with "When I Look In Your Eyes" and "Steppin' Out" not far behind.

If you can play DVD's, I would pick up the new Live in Paris DVD that came out recently. It has over 2 hours of songs and musicians are great. It was $20 at Circuit City.

yeap, we've got a dvd player, but I doubt that my mother would ever actually watch/listen to a concert dvd. Now a cd on the other hand, she'd listen to! She's pretty set in her ways

Second the "All for You" nomination, right now that's my current Krall favorite. Haven't heard the DVD, and the new "Look of Love" album is good but IMO not as good as "All for You". Good luck!

My personal rating is identical with DeanA's, but if I was buying for someone's mom I would definitely pick "When I look in your eyes". She will love it!

Just curious, but what makes you suggest that instead? Perhaps I'm missing something painfully obvious here?

No, nothing painfully obvious being missed.

Most women I have played these albums for like "When I look in your eyes" best. It's the most romantic of the three DeanA mentioned earlier, though you can't lose with any of the albums suggested so far.

No argument, but we are talking about a Son's gift to his Mother.

Haha, I'm pretty sure she'll know that he's not trying to make advances. I gave a copy to my boss and so far nothing has happened, so I think Ob3ron is safe.
