Title: imitative and shallow, but promising
Product review: I first heard cuts from this album while shopping at a bookstore, specifically "Come Fly With Me" and "The Way You Look Tonight." My opinion was and is that he has a good voice, excellent pitch and an obvious affection for the genre, but there was a lack of convicition and style a la Sinatra or Sammy Davis Jr.I'm disappointed with most of the rest, especially "Crazy Little Thing" because of the echoplex or reverb. If he's just going to be imitative, why bother? Why not do something different? He's got a good voice and a capable backup band...I think that may be the fault of producer David Foster, who took the group Chicago from innovative to syrupy in a very short time.I'm not happy at spending $20 and getting so little for my money (which I spent based on exposure to two of the best cuts). However, He's got potential, and I look forward to having someone to help erase my memory of Sinatra's pitch problems.
