Very pleased that I finally bought this. I especially like his phrasing at the end of "Fly Me to the Moon" and his version of "All of Me." The brass section is great. Extremely well done and great versions of Sinatra's tunes. For me, this is Tyrell's best work.
and this kind of music the album is a must have if you enjoy s. t.
No big surprises, just smooth, solid performances.The only reason he doesn't get five stars is purely out of respect for Frank. If you're a Steve Tyrell fan (I am - I have all his stuff now), you'll appreciate this one.
Now Sinatra surely would have been proud of THIS. Steve never misses a beat, nor does he sing a superfluous note either. "In The Wee Small Hours" is a song Sinatra often sang, reportedly after his upsetting breakup with Ava Gardner. I recommend this for Steve's fans, Sinatra's fans, and people who like classic pop vocals. These are songs, of course, that Sinatra used to love to sing; and the CD is indeed a touching tribute to The Chairman Of The Board."I Get A Kick Out Of You" is a Cole Porter tune that Steve Tyrell sings to perfection--and how's about that piano arrangement. Songs Of Sinatra is yet another wonderful album by Steve Tyrell; and he proves his mettle well on every track here. Steve's ability to take a song and deliver it so sensitively really impresses me and this is true blue exquisite music. Steve's excellent diction really helps him perform so very well; and the music fits in perfectly with his vocals.
"Witchcraft" is another Sinatra staple that Steve sings so very well; "Witchcraft" sounds like silk when Steve Tyrell sings it. "All Of Me" is a stunning song about the joys of falling in love, celebrating that love, and dealing with a "goodbye," too; and the album ends strong with Steve Tyrell performing "You Go To My Head." "You Go To My Head" gets a slower tempo than I'm used to hearing; but it grew on me quickly and that's wonderful.Songs Of Sinatra is Steve Tyrell's way of paying tribute to Frank Sinatra; and it's obvious to me that Steve succeeded. The strings are very beautiful and this enhances the number even more. "Nice 'N' Easy" sounds like pure silk and Steve bats this straight out of the ballpark. "Fly Me To The Moon" gets the royal treatment from Tyrell and the musicians as they work together to make "Fly Me To The Moon" a major highlight of this album. "(I've Got You) Under My Skin" is another classic ballad and the musical arrangement is a bit more contemporary without sacrificing any of the natural beauty of the original arrangement; and Steve's voice, ever so slightly gravelly, sounds better than ever on "(I've Got You) Under My Skin." "Night And Day" is a charming love song and Steve sing this flawlessly--I love that brass in the music, too. The quality of the sound is excellent and the artwork is very nicely done.
Steve does great justice to this classic torch song by giving it every bit as good a performance as Sinatra ever could have. It's a very pretty melody and it's upbeat as well--wonderful. Steve sings a rarely heard opening verse and when he goes into the main lyrics of the song this takes off like a jet. Steve swings brightly to make this number work and you can tell with just one listen.
I got this CD and loved it. I had always known about Steve Tyrell, but never lisened to him. So I never gave him a chance. I highly reccomend it.
I think "I get a kick out of you" "Fly me to the moon" and "Witchcraft" are my favorites. They're awesome. "The one I love belongs to somebody else" is the fastest one on here, and it's great. His version of "Wee small hours" is the best I've ever heared.
I was sirprised. And now my Dad likes him too.This CD is awesome. Me and my Dad almost always agree about music, and he said he didn't like Steve Tyrell. Steve Tyrell is now one of my favorite singers now.
It was awesome. One morning my radio alarm went off, it was someone singing one of favorite songs, "I get a kick out of you." I wanted to find out who it was, so kept lisening, the DJ said it was Steve Tyrell. I went on the internet and lisened to more songs.
