Free Music Notes for A Wonderful World
Free Music Review: Coffee and Cream
Hit: 5 Stars
Coffee and cream ~ carmel and chocolate have nothing on the pairing of k.d. lang and Tony Bennett. This timeless collection of lounge standards begs to be played over and over again. Both artists shine and compliment each other in a musical fusion that exemplifies the word "synergy".Free Music Review: A Wonderful World -Tony Bennett /k.d. Lang

For anyone that loves listening to Tony Bennett's mellow style, this combination of his voice with k.d.Lang's sultry vocals is just wonderful. Their voices blend in beautiful harmony. I can't imagine two voices more suited for these songs.Free Music Review: 2 Great Singers. 12 Great Songs. 1 Ho-hum Album.

I don't get the politics of Tony Bennett saying "yes, dear" to KD Lang at the end of the 1st number, but sad to say, the whole album seems an overproduced mistake, including sappy saxophone interludes and treacly high-pitched violin countermelodies.
I love sax. I mean, I love saxophones and saxophone players as if they were part of my family. But someone has got to stop this easy listenin' moony-waily lushly lackadaisical sinuous syrupy "smooth jazz" exploitation of just one tiny, embarrassing aspect of the saxophone's otherwise terrific character.
But I doubt the small-minded no-talents who produced this album would ever get the drift.
Note to Word Lovers: "Treacle" originally meant "a medicinal compound formerly in wide use as a remedy against poison." However, Tony and KD got suckered into singing on an album that's practically poisonous itself.

I am a huge Bennett fan and have enjoyed this cd (although K.D. Lang?s voice doesn?t impress me that much.) That said, someone recently loaned me the cd of Louis Armstrong singing the same songs and it had a totally different feel. Truly Armstrong is inimitable. His versions are full of pizzazz, mischievousness and just plain fun. I?m sorry to say that after hearing the originals I found the Bennett/Lang rather mediocre.Free Music Review: Tony and k.d.sing the oldies

I loved this c.d. Tony and k.d. have terrific voice control and they complimented each other on the duet tracts.
I enjoy listening to the old standard tunes and this c.d. delivered some of the great tunes of the past.
