Title: tired and superfluous
Product review: Ferry used to put his heart into covers of old songs. His cover of "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" had an energy and excitement to it. On this CD, however, he sings everything in the same dreary, breathy croon, as if he wants this to be background music. You keep wanting him to clear his throat and sing. Even the selection of songs is uninspired; no one needs yet another version of As Time Goes By, when there are so many old songs that are unjustly forgotten. Much better stuff in this vein is Vic Godard's Songs For Sale, and Bjork's Glim-glo.
