Artist: Michael Buble

Michael Buble's assured debut and the tireless year of globe-trotting touring he spent promoting it elevated the 20-something Vancouver native into the first rank of pop crooner revivalists. His sophomore studio follow-up largely turns on the same formula that helped make his considerable vocal prowess so attractive to mainstream audiences, mixing the nigh flawless, if expected Sinatra-channelling ("I've Got You Under My Skin") with more playful and inviting renditions of pop standards like the Gershwin's "A Foggy Day in London Town," "Feeling Good," "Try A Little Tenderness" and Cole Porter's "I've Got You Under My Skin." But it's the eclectic mix of more contemporary material the singer seasons them with--apt tribute to Buble hero Bobby Darin--that keeps him walking the narrow tightrope between artistic intrigue (a blues-tinged vamp of Holland-Dozier-Holland's "How Sweet It Is," Leon Russell's lovely "Song For You," with a guest turn by Chris Botti) and the kitsch-laden abyss ("Quando, Quando, Quando"'s Euro-centric duet with Nelly Furtado, a ring-a-ding-fling with the Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love" that echoes fellow Canadian crooner/rival Matt Dusk's more successful flirtation wi...

Amazing Grace, 2010-02-23
Just received my cd today. Loved every minute of it,lots of cheerful songs to lift the spirits and well balanced with a few weepies. A great compilation, I bought this after watching Jane Horrocks star in 'Our Gracie'. These songs were from an era before I was born but there is something for every generation on the album. It contains the song 'Take me to your heart again'and I think it did.

Artist: Michael Buble

For his fourth studio album Canadian crooner Michael Bublé has headed into the studio with his live band to create an album of…autobiographical love songs. The outcome, according to Bublé, is the "ultimate record about the inevitable roller coaster ride of relationships". It’s true that from the dramatic opening--a great cover of Julie London’s "Cry Me a River"--the album swings like a pendulum between introspective balladry and exuberant pop. As is to be expected with Bublé, he has revamped plenty of classics along the way, tackling evergreens like "Georgia On My Mind", Van Morrison's "Crazy Love" and the Eagles' "Heartache Tonight" with typical aplomb. He also joins contemporary soulsters like diva Sharon Jones (of Dap Kings fame) on "Baby (You’ve Got What It Takes)" and singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith to recreate one of Sexmith’s tunes, the sultry "Whatever It Takes". Bublé’s two self-penned songs fit in well with the overall high standard. The poppy single “Haven’t Met You Yet” is catchy and the folky “Hold On” also helps make Crazy Love yet another quintessential Michael Bublé experience. --Danny McKenna

Songs for...everyone, 2010-03-06

Another great 2CD Classic FM compilation of classical hits from a wide range of singers, including the established favourites such as Blake, Katherine Jenkins, Hayley Westenra, Aled Jones, Lesley Garrett, All Angels, Bryn Terfel, Elin Manahan-Thomas and Alfie Boe.

Also included are some of the more recently discovered talents such as Camilla Kerslake and Faryl Smith, along with the legendary names like Pavarotti and Domingo, and to complete the all star line up there are a few truly world class opera singers, Cecilia Bartoli, Renee Fleming and Rolando Villazon.

The song choices are nicely varied and will be recognised by most people, not just listeners of Classic FM radio, and while I'm not quite sure how the link is made between this selection and mothers, I guess the album release date is a giveaway - two weeks before Mothering Sunday 2010!

A great compilation of music by quality artists.

Artist: John Barrowman

Another wonderful album from the talented John Barrowman, 2010-03-02
John Barrowman claims in interviews that "what you see is what you get". I don't believe him because inside the enthusiastic, passionate and endearingly giggly entertainer is an equally passionate but quieter, more reflective soul who doesn't always get a fair amount of airtime. However, in this very personal choice of songs, this aspect of his singing style is allowed to shine through especially in the slower numbers where his mellifluous voice seemingly effortlessly floats up to his higher register without strain. When I saw "You'll Never Walk" alone on the track listing I thought that this would be one to skip, but JB has reclaimed it from the football terraces and returned it to its roots as a song of love and hope. His wistful rendering of "Memory" is also refreshing. And of course he sings his heart and lungs out in the more up-tempo showstopping numbers but always with the lyrics clearly enunciated and the notes spot-on (well you would expect nothing less from such a consummate professional).

So buy this disc even if like me you don't recognise some of the tracks or think you won't like some of the tracks you do recognise - I guarantee you will be entertained.

Just a minor production niggle - the informative sleeve notes in what must be in 4 point font in white on black are really difficult to read, but is slightly better than Music Music Music's pale salmon pink on white.

If music be the food of love, play on, 2010-03-09
I haven't heard this yet but I saw the first programme last night and I am now going to buy the album. I only found out about the programme yesterday from the radio and I'm so glad I did, I am hooked! Keep up the good work Dinnington.

I would just like to point out that the description of Dinnington Colliery Band is incorrect - they are from SOUTH YORKSHIRE not County Durham.

Very Good, 2010-03-10
My mum bought me this CD as I am a big John Barrowman Fan and listening to it for the first time I wasn't that impressed, as I didn't recognise most of the songs. But the more I listened to them the more I fell in love with the songs and the way John Barrowman sing's the songs are absolutly stunning. The duet with Jodie Prenger was amazing she has a stunning voice.
