Grammy-nominated performer Michael Feinstein, who has spent much of his life recording the Great American Songbook, now turns his attention to another legend of popular American songwriting, his friend Jimmy Webb.
This is a superb CD, warm and reflective, complemented by a sympathetic acoustic, and a well-balanced recording. Furthermore, it's produced by Jimmy Webb himself, so artiste and composer share a single vision.
The disc opens with a beautifully orchestrated version of the coda from "MacArthur Park," gracefully segueing into the CD's title track, "Only One Life." The tempo is relaxed, and the tone is romantic, setting the mood for the rest of the album. Feinstein is in fine voice, and his warm, sonorous tenor is a perfect complement to the celebration of life and love that is this CD.
Of the 15 songs on this album, every one is a gem. Some are old favorites like "MacArthur Park," "The Moon's a Harsh Mistress, and "Adios," while others like "Belmont Avenue," "Time Flies," and "Only One Life" are given their debut here. Among the highlights are a swinging, doo-wop arrangement of "Belmont Avenue," a lithe and lively "Skywriter," and a moving rendition of "All I Know." Additionally, the popular "Up, Up and Away" is given a refreshing makeover compliments of a lilting Latin rhythm that's an irresistible invitation to dance.
The versatility of Feinstein's tenor is remarkable. One moment it's light and lissome, soaring like a bird in "Skywriter," and the next it's dark and brooding, mining all the pathos of Webb's plaintive composition as it ponders "Is There Love After You."
This is a delightful disc, suitable for any occasion, but probably best enjoyed late at night over candle light and a fine Bordeaux with someone you love.
Among the numerous interpreters of Jimmy Webb's music, two artistes stand apart, Glen Campbell and Art Garfunkel. To this distinguished duo we can now add a third, Michael Feinstein. With this collection of classics, Feinstein has proven himself an able advocate of Webb's oeuvre, and I warmly recommend this CD as a worthwhile addition to the library of any Webb connoisseur.
