Canadian Music Store Free Music Notes for Love Songs of Burt BacharachFree Music Review: Classic original Bachrach tunes, 1960's production
Burt Bacharach's music is infused into the subconscious of everyone who listened to popular music in the 60's and 70's. This CD is a compilation of the airplay hit versions of Bacharach/David songs. They are interesting, but Burt is not playing on them (except for the last song w. Elvis Costello). The original production quality of many of these 60's cuts is pretty rough by today's standards. I was looking for more polished Bacharach-performed orchestrations... If you want to hear Burt play his songs, keep looking thru the CD bin. I did not enjoy Jerry Butler's version of "Make It Easy on Yourself", which I think is one of Burt's best songs ... The Naked Eyes version of "Always Something There to Remind Me" is a trite 80's jingle. Why is it so hard to find a CD with "THis Guy's in Love" on it? Jackie DeShannon does a great job with "What the World Needs Now" and Sergio Mendes cooks with "Look of Love".
