Title: Do I smell rotten eggs?
Product review: No it's just Joni James' new comeback CD, as if her lp's in the 50's weren't bad enough(not to mention her country hit singles). It's not the songs that were bad, at lest not on her lp's for MGM. Her MGM lp's featured sateful arrangemets and good standard tunes, it's her clumsy phrasing, and lack of swing(you'd think she never heard a Louis Armstrong album before). Her annoying lack of any sort of swing or rhythm, and her oddball phrasing make her just above Patti Page & Teresa Brewer, but nowbere near the great Rosemary Cloone, Keely Smith or Doris Day, and light years away from Ella Fitzgerald.James sounds like the same awful singer she was in the 50's, yet she's singing some new awful tunes(no standards). With an older warn out sounding voice. Stick with Keely Smith & Rosemary Clooney who are still going strong today, and singing jazz standards with swing and verve. Stay away from the rotten eggs, I mean Joni James.
