It features ten covers of songs, all by different female musicians, and was funded by AT&T and the Thoreau Institute. The CD was issued solely to longtime customers of AT&T and included complimentary and downloadable internet access software. Stormy Weather received three out of a five stars from AllMusic and was received favorably by Frank Tortorici of Sonic.net. BackgroundStormy Weather was released on May 31, 1998, exclusively available to longtime customers of the American multinational telecommunications corporation AT&T.[1] It is paired alongside downloadable computer software for AT&T's internet access service, WorldNet's Personal Network.[2] All of the performances were recorded live by AT&T and the Thoreau Institute at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, California on April 16, 1998.[3] The concert was held to expand the mission of the Walden Woods Project, a nonprofit organization created to help the preservation of Walden Woods in Lincoln, Massachusetts.[4][5]Rock musician Don Henley organized the event and carried out production on all ten tracks, while Vic Mendoza was in charge of the musical arrangements and conducting the orchestra.[6][7] At the venue, each artist sang two songs,[4] although only one song from each artist appears on the record.[6] According to The Walden Wood Project's official website, the album contains "pop, jazz, and blues standards" predominately from the 1930s, 40's, and 50's,[4] performed by ten female musicians.[7] It opens with a version of Elvis Costello's "Almost Blue", performed by Gwen Stefani.[6] Sandra Bernhard sang a rendition of "Is That All There Is?" in an "exaggerated high pitch vocal" with "comic anecdotes".[6] Joni Mitchell performed the album's title track, a cover of Ethel Waters' 1933 single "Stormy Weather".[8] The orchestration was performed by the 66-piece El Nino Orchestra.[9] Critical reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{rating|3|5}}[10] }} Due to not being commercially released, Stormy Weather was not widely reviewed by music critics. William Ruhlmann from AllMusic awarded the record three out of a five stars, praising the artists' familiarity with the songs. He highlighted Mark Isham's trumpet solos and the covers of "You've Changed", "But Beautiful" and "At Last" as standouts, but had mixed feelings regarding Sheryl Crow and Björk's contributions.[10] Frank Tortorici of Sonic.net enjoyed the performances and commented in reference to the concert that Joni Mitchell and Bjork's collaboration was "hard to beat."[6] Track listingAll tracks produced by Don Henley.[19] {{Track listing| headline = Stormy Weather {{nobold|– Standard edition}}[11] | extra_column = Performer(s) | total_length = {{duration|m=43|s=48}} | title1 = Almost Blue | length1 = 3:02 | writer1 = Elvis Costello | extra1 = Gwen Stefani | title2 = You've Changed | length2 = 5:27 | writer2 = {{flatlist|
