It Had to Be You: The Great American Songbook

more music like this
by
Rod Stewart
It's the kind of concept that seems brilliant on paper: revive the career of one of the great vocalists of the rock era by having him sing the great American pop songs of the pre-rock era. It was done before with Linda Ronstadt, and it worked well, so why not Rod Stewart, whose career was in shambles in 2002 following the disastrous modern R&B ...

A month after Rod Stewart's fourth volume of his ongoing (some might say never-ending) Great American Songbook series was released, all four of the albums were rounded up in a cardboard box and released as The Great American Songbook.

Original Soundtrack
For years, Kevin Spacey's dream project was a biopic on '60s crooner Bobby Darin, starring himself as the lead. After over a decade of struggling to get it made, he finally got a green light in the early 2000s to start production, not just as the lead actor, but as the director and producer of Beyond the Sea. One of Spacey's key decisions in the ...

by
Frank Sinatra
Sinatra and Strings, Frank Sinatra's first album with arranger Don Costa, is an exquisite, romantic collection of ballads and is one of his most sensual records. Costa has given the songs -- which consist entirely of standards -- exceedingly lush, heavily orchestrated arrangements that sound like updated, contemporary versions of Axel Stordahl's ...

That's All

more music like this
by
Bobby Darin
That's All, Bobby Darin's second LP, is his most important record. Darin's reputation as a teen idol was established in 1958 and 1959 with the Top Ten hits "Splish Splash," "Dream Lover," and "Queen of the Hop." Later in 1959, That's All broadened his appeal and secured his imortality. The LP begins with Darin's trademark song, Threepenny Opera's ...

Very simple and blatant repackage of all three of Rod Stewart's three standards recordings in a box. Nothing more, nothing less, though some would argue this is way too much of a "good" thing. Thom Jurek, All Music Guide

The Natural Soul [Bonus Tracks]
(2003)
more music like this
by
Lou Donaldson
The Natural Soul finds Lou Donaldson delving deeply into soul-jazz; recording a set of funky, greasy instrumentals with only a few references to hard bop. Donaldson occasionally sounds a little awkward with the relaxed groove of The Natural Soul, as does trumpeter Tommy Turrentine, but the trio of guitarist Grant Green, organist Johnny Patton, and ...

While cutting rock & roll singles for the teenage market, 20-year-old Connie Francis switched gears on her second album, recording a set of standards backed by strings and intended for the adult market. Her assurance was demonstrated on such uptempo songs as "Come Rain or Come Shine," on which she sang authoritatively, and she was just as ...

Joyce Breach is indeed a songbird; backed by the Jerry Melaga Trio, Breach's classy voice caresses 12 pop standards as lovingly as a mother cradles a newborn. However, except for "You and Me," "Peel Me a Grape," "I Believe in You," "That's All," and "Lady Sings the Blues" -- her heartiest vocal -- the arrangements are redundant and ...

At the time Morgan (who was just 18) was very much under the musical influence of Clifford Brown although a bit of his own personality was starting to shine through.

Soul Stirrin' is an invigorating, exciting date from trombonist Bennie Green, showcasing his wide range of skills. His tone is alternately boisterous and reflective -- the juxtaposition of the wildly swinging "We Wanna Cook" (complete with shouted vocals) and the gentle "That's All" is startling, demonstrating that Green can vary his robust sound ...
