Title: Unpretentious and enjoyable
Review: Unpretentious and simple, this CD offers a pleasant rendition of easy listening music. "Uncle Bill", as he calls himself on his web page, presents here a mix of his solo guitar work - chord melody style - and vocal pieces accompanied by excellent pianist Kathleen Nelson. The solo guitar is in the old style, ie. George Van Eps. Mr Sveglini, in spite of some rough moments, delivers the tunes with tenderness and delicacy. His vocal work, which is interlaced with the guitar pieces, at times sounds like church music, and perhaps this is because of his job as a Director of Chapel Music at Burlingame, California's United Methodist Church. His voice is pleasant and even though at times it sounds a bit uptight and a touch out of tune, Bill Sveglini offers an easy and enjoyable CD that trully comes From the Heart.
