Been a fan for about 4 years. He is very Refreshing in a pleasant way. Not as packaged and overpromoted like many today. His lastest CD was done in the studio with all musicians present... No overdubs or special gimmicks. If someone made a mistake they started over and did it again. Each track was performed start to finish. Reminds me of the great crooners of the 50-60's. I'm glad you found him. You may want to check out Jane Monheit, Diana Krall and Joss Stone if you have not already. Happy Holidays!

Thanks Tom - what is that last one called? Yes, very Frank Sinatra sound but better in the voice and great timing too with a nicer intimacy. Bubl'e got me interested in wanting to explore more of that big band sound so I picked up a Bobby Darren CD.....dreadful in comparison. Diana Krall - now there's one that has me stumped. After I started getting into audio (in the last few months) I saw a lot of people on here talking about her. I bought some of her stuff - nicely recorded and good mellow music but I am struggling to see what the big deal is. The music is good but she really isn't that strong on the vocals, smooth to go with that sound yes, but to get to that level I just don't understand it. Maybe I just need more time and maybe a more open mind. Nora Jones is another one I picked up. First album I heard I liked but when you have heard one you have heard them all - very monotonous and yawn inducing. I consider myself pretty open-minded with my music but am also pretty critical....and curious, so I will check out Jane Monheit. If you like Diana Krall you will probably like a lot of the Brazilian bossanova genre with that sophisticated sexy rhythm that only and nice light percussion that this country is famous for. Actually Michael Bubl'e has some of this on his albums, even sings in Portuguese. Have a great Xmas Tom |
I wish he could sing. I have seen him live in concert and he really is limited in ability. I do enjoy the music he does and all the ladies love him (cute) - so I got his latest CD for my Mom. If you like Buble then you will really enjoy Robbie Williams Swing when you're winning. Robbie has a voice that is almost as good as Sinatra. |
