Full review
To show this album anything other than deep respect and appreciation would be a insult to the great artists from whom these songs have drawn inspiration. The modern reproduction of some of the classics has inspired a generation of todays youth who, until its release, had had little exposure to this genre of music. Mr Williams' reputation has given the project a popularity and credability unachieveable by anyone else in the industry, a project which has, undoubtedly, been the catalyst for the re-birth of a whole era of musical history. The recent success of artists such as Michael Buble can be firmly placed at the feet of Mr Williams, who took an unprecedented risk in producing something so diverse in comparision to his previous work.

To say that the content of this album is a poor relation to the performances of Sinatra, Darren and the likes would be hugely unfair. This album has taken some of the classics and re-packaged them into a form recognisable by today's youth - a crucial property some 50 years on from Sinatra's peak - whilst remaining faithful to its mentors. Nothing will ever match the talent that was Frank Sinatra - and this doesn't attempt to do so - this album reaches out to the popular culture in society - and entertains in a way that only Mr Williams can - magical.
