...to the music.
This is an album that bombards the listener with such a variety of styles and influences that it’s easy to sit around and compare tracks to other artists or other songs. Joe’s voice sometimes sounds like Boz Scaggs following a night of binge drinking Domestos. At other times it’s faintly reminiscent of Donald Fagin. In reality, though, it’s just Joe Henry being himself. Instrumentally, the same goes, as the tracks bring mental pictures as additional baggage. Some of the tracks are so evocative of a late night jazz club you can practically smell the bourbon, while another captures (for me) the sense of a Palm Court dance in a dusty town in Argentina.

"The Bing Boys are Here" was a comedy musical revue with a varying programme of songs. It opened on the 19th April 1916. The story was light hearted and provided a welcome entertainment for the troops on leave as well as the general population. It reflected the hope for the future in one of the darkest periods of the Twentieth Century - the story centering around the two brothers Bing leaving home and heading towards the City to seek their fortunes. Unfortunately doesn't include one of the most famous standards - probably the only one still sung today: "Let the Great Big World Keep Turning" Perhaps a better attempt at transferring the original recordings to digital...
