TheQueen Album is a solo cover album of the band Queen by Elaine Paige.[1] It was released in 1988 and peaked at No. 51 in the UK in November 1988.[2] This is the only album from Paige to be released on Siren Records and distributed by Virgin Records. The album was re-issued with different artwork on CD in 1990 on Virgin VIP by Virgin Records.

This is the only Paige album compiled of songs written and recorded by one composer or group. The album is a covers album of ten songs previously recorded by the rock group Queen, a favourite of Paige. The selected songs are a combination of hits and lesser-known album tracks, taken from Queen's entire back catalogue. The songs have been altered and re-styled for this recording, with classical arrangements making orchestral renditions of the original rock songs.

The closing track, "Radio Ga Ga", which features original BBC radio fragments, taken from the BBC sound archives, was released as a single. The 3" CD single release included a bonus track, "Play the Game", which was not included on the album.[3]

I first saw Elaine Hoffman Watts playing in the album release party for Alicia Svigals wonderful "Fidl" album. Here was a solid third generation klezmer, mother of a next generation of klezmorim, and a raucous, wonderful storyteller, to boot. In subsequent years she has been appearing around the world with a variety of Jewish music ensembles, often appearing with her daughter, the fearsomely wonderful tumpeter, Susan Watts. Finally, mother, daughter, and lots of friends are all together on this amazing updating of the Philadelphia "American" klezmer sound. It's about time.

The album opens, fittingly enough, with a track of Elaine's father, Jacob Hoffman, playing xylophone, with Elaine, David Licht, Gerry Brown, and Aaron Alexander joining in. This album is, after all, subtitled "The Art of Klezmer Drumming."

Drumming is only part of the story, of course, trumpeter Susan Watts is joined by bandmate Frank London (the Klezmer Brass AllStars) and the renowned latest-generation Philadelphia klezmer Rachel Lemisch on trombone. Susan also shows off her soulful vocal style, first singing scat on the "Gasn Nign", and closing with an amazing "Aveenu Malkeynu"--not a cantorial number here, just heartfelt Jewish soul.

In some ways, this feels like a throwback to another generation. The rolling drumming that opens "Shtetl Ias", supporting a brilliant brassy melody, reminds one more of old klezmer 78s and invokes the age when John Phillip Sousa was king. But, that's also because this album is a celebration of great klezmer drumming. That's the point. And Elaine is great. Here's an album, in which a female musician - a gender with which the musician's union had great problems, to its discredit - performs the first "Drum Doina" on record. Indeed, that doina is part of a suite, composed by Elaine, in honor of her father, that also features daughter Susan on trumpet, soloing back and forth with her mother ... the two latest generations of Phildelphia klezmer.

This music is, indeed, a throwback to the best of klezmer as it had evolved in the United States prior to the revival twenty years ago. As noted, heavily rhythmic. Lots of brass. A sound with which the Epstein Brothers would feel quite at home, but less dependent on the New York Yiddish show tunes that the Epstein's featured - this is the Philly sound in full force and dance-compelling splendor.

For all that the album features Elaine Watts, this is also the first album to give an adequate showcase to Susan Watts' amazing trumpet voice, as well. Listen to her dueting with her mother on the aforementioned "Eateleh's Suiteleh" or swirling divinely in "Lakeleh" (written by her grandfather, Jacob Hoffman, for his daughter Leanore's wedding) or spitting out whole clusters of perfectly annotated phrases in "Trish's Freilach".

This is a "must-have" CD. It is an amazing document of Philadelphia klezmer, played by exceptional musicians who grew up with the music. It is also a wonderful tribute to those generations of klezmorim, and incredibly fun music.

Paige's official website says the singing actress will record a new album of theatre songs featuring tunes from "the nation's favorite musicals." Mike Moran will produce the disc for the Universal label. The CD is scheduled for an October release. Arguably Britain's most successful musical theatre actress, Elaine Paige has starred on the London stage in Evita, Cats, Chess, Anything Goes, Piaf, Sunset Boulevard and The King and I. She made her Broadway debut to much acclaim in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard, and her recordings are numerous. Paige also appeared in the New York City Opera's production of Sweeney Todd, earning a Drama Desk Award nomination for her performance as Mrs. Lovett. She currently hosts a radio program on BBC Radio 2 entitled "Elaine Paige On Sunday."

Elaine Lennon's highly-anticipated debut album, hailed as one of the best in recent years by FATEA Magazine and winner of Celtic Music Radio's Album of the Year Award 2020. Winner of the Nashville Songwriters' Association International 2019 'One To Watch' award and backed by Creative Scotland, Elaine's album is a powerful showcase of her songwriting prowess. Produced by Findlay Napier and engineered by Paul and Jamie Savage at Chem19 Studios, this album captures the essence of Elaine's musical vision. With a stellar lineup of musicians including Patsy Reid on strings and Iain Sloan on pedal steel, each track resonates with emotional depth and authenticity. From the haunting melodies of 'This' to the uplifting anthem 'Little Bird Little Sailor,' Elaine's album offers a journey through love, loss, and hope. Drawing comparisons to legendary artists like Carole King, Nina Simone, Annie Lennox and Adele, Elaine's music transcends genres, crosses timelines and speaks to the heart.

Legendary vocalist Elaine Delmar has a new album, about to be released. It is her first in ten years, and has been in the making since the harrowing days of Covid. Recorded on Ubuntu Music, Speak Low is, at last, being released on 19 July. Feature by Lavender Sutton.

Starting with those in the present, her current band, Barry Green, Simon Thorpe and Jim Mullen are responsible for getting the ball rolling on this project. With so many arrangements of songs made especially for her, Delmar decided to curate a selection of her favourites, showcasing new takes on some of her most beloved memories through the last fifty-odd years.

Growing up in a village on the North York Moors and with family in Phoenix, Arizona, Elaine Palmer has been a frequent flyer to the southwestern states. These very different settings give her a unique background to draw upon in her songwriting, from English rural life to the wide-open spaces of the American West. For this record, she chose San Diego-based Mike Butler to engineer and produce in the hills outside the Californian city. The result is an album that combines sounds characteristic of the Flying Burrito Brothers with an identifiably English sensibility.
