Title: TOO KIND
Review: The last reviewer was too kind. This CD is awful. In fact it plain [stinks]. On some tracks it is hard to even tell that it is Lyle at all, particularly Blue Skies. I like the song Blue Skies, if Lyle was going for a Chet Baker sound, that may explain why it is so bad. Much as I liked Baker as a trumpet player, I could never stand more than a few seconds of his "singing".Only the last two tracks come close to his best material, which is to be found on most any of the releases through the "Joshua Judges Ruth" release. All of those early releases are solid efforts, since then Lyle has been a mixed bag at best. With this the worst effort of the lot, BY FAR. TOO BAD.Don't waste the money on it. Save it and see him in concert should he come to your area. If that is not an option, go for those earlier releases, if you haven't had the pleasure already.
