Editorial Review: Album Description: Steve Tyrell, whose appearances in the two "Father Of The Bride" movies, and whose albums "A New Standard" and "Standard Time" established him as a premier contemporary interpreter of the Great American Songbook, now turns his attention to one of the legendary composers in all of pop music: Burt Bacharach. Steve has a personal stake in these classic songs. As a young man breaking into the record business in the 1960s, he became head of A&R and Promotion at Scepter Records, the history-making independent label that released the famous hits written by Bacharach and his lyricist partner Hal David, and recorded by the great Dionne Warwick. Tyrell was present at the creation of standards like "Walk On By," "Alfie," "I Say A Little Prayer," and many others. Moreover, he produced B.J. Thomas' Oscar-winning recording of Bacharach-David's "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head." One can only categorize Tyrell's performances on "Back To Bacharach" as definitive. His supporting cast includes the top session players on two coasts, as well as guest collaborators Herb Alpert, Patti Austin, Dionne Warwick, James Taylor, Rod Stewart, and Martina McBride. Steve's own singular vocal style, drenched in the Texas tones of his sophisticated R&B approach, is perfectly suited to these great hits. He sings the songs exactly the way everyone wants to hear them. To top it all of, Maestro Bacharach himself appears on three tracks as a performer and two as co-producer. Steve Tyrell's "Back To Bacharach" makes the case for adding Burt Bacharach to the roster of all-time great creators of the previous generation of American Songbook immortals---Porter, Gershwin, Berlin, Kern, and Ellington. And it does so with supreme style, taste, and expertise. Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - SapphireI absolutly loved this cd. The way it's put together and the music is so much like Burt Barcharch was doing this himself. I love the collection of songs he chose for this cd they to me are the ones that stand out the most when I think of Burt Barcharch music. I listen to this many times in a day at work. It's the perfect music to work by and enjoy the soft sounds in the back round of the music.I reccomend this to any Barcharch admirers. Rating:  - greatI have all of his CDs - this one is just as good as the others. Rating:  - Not as goodNot as good as previous albums. Maybe tunes not a good match for him. Rating: - Tyrell/Bacharach CDSteve Tyrell's Back To Bacharach is a great addition to his collection of beautifully arranged and orchestrated vocal recordings. If you like his previous CD's, you'll love this new direction he's taken on this recording! Rating: - More great Tyrell!If you are a fan of Steve Tyrell's sound and like Bacharach tunes, you'll like this one. They go well together! |
