Title: Dull, boring and (gulp) off key!
Review: This album is one of the most boring albums of standards I've ever listed to. The arrangements are pathetic - nothing more than having some of the musicians play each song's melody for "solos." My goodness, we know the melody, improvise when Carly's not singing! And singing - well, how dull can she be? There is absolutely no sense of personality, soul, feeling in any of these songs. Did she just come in and sing this stuff without any musical interpretation? Or practice? Heavens, on some of the songs, I swear she's as flat as she can be. Get to the note Carly! Yikes this is bad stuff.If you want great singing, wonderful standards and great arrangements buy something from Diana Krall or Natalie Cole. But by all means, avoid this stinker.Paul Forrest
