Duets (An American Classic) - Tony Bennett

They say that you start to turn into your parents as you grow older, and in terms of musical appreciation, I've probably been undergoing that metamorphosis for the past couple of years. That's not to say, however, that I've lost touch completely with contemporary music, and I'm always intrigued ... Read review

Duets: An American Classic - Tony Bennett

Duets: An American Classic - Tony Bennett

At this point, who else but Tony Bennett would have the clout to round up stars on the ... more

scale of Elton John, Paul McCartney, Bono, Celine
Dion and Barbra Streisand for some duets? (Note
also that unlike some similar projects, all the
parties involved on this CD were alive when it was
recorded!) The material consists of relatively
obvious classics in standard big-band
arrangements, and Bennett himself is in top form
at age 80, so much so that he doesn't need anybody
else to handle "I Left My Heart in San Francisco."
But the fun comes from checking out how his
collaborators fare. The Dixie Chicks provide
wonderful Andrews Sisterstype harmonies on the
percolating version of "Lullaby of Broadway" that
opens the festivities. The best songs tend to be
the ones where Bennett's slightly craggy voice is
juxtaposed to smooth female ones, like Diana Krall
on "The Best Is Yet to Come," familiar accomplice
k.d. lang on the sultry "Because of You" and
Streisand-perhaps Bennett's only equal in stature
at this pointon "Smile." Among the less expected
guests, soulman John Legend is a revelation on the
hard-swinging "Sing, You Sinners," while George
Michael confirms hes quite the crooner on "How Do
You Keep the Music Playing?" Elvis Costello,
Celine Dion or Juanes don't sound as comfortable,
and sometimes it feels as if they overdo it to
compensate, but overall this collection is among
the best of its kind, with most guests rising to
the occasion.--Elisabeth Vincentelli

Eighty Not Out

Advantages: Classic songs given a new slant
Disadvantages: One or two weak tracks

...by recording an album of duets with some of today's musical giants, including such "youngsters" as Paul McCartney, Elton John and Billy Joel, along with the likes of Sting, Bono and James Taylor.

When it's your 80th birthday party, it's only fair that you get to choose not only the guests but the music too, and Bennett has wisely stuck to the old standards, the American Songbook classics, inviting his new, young whippersnapper ...
...to "proper songs", as my late grandmother would have called them. By and large, this compilation is a success, throwing up one or two surprises, for me at least, along the way.

There are nineteen tracks on the album, which gets off to an energetic start with Dixie Chicks providing Andrews Sisters-style backing vocals on Lullaby of Broadway. It's a slick production, guaranteed to get your fingers clicking and your feet tapping, ... more
