Two Words, One Answer.
American Classic
 American Classic $17.98 This is not vintage Willie Nelson. American Classic is a big disappointment. The accompaniement is seriously lacking--pretty much a bass, electric piano, and drums--not the lush orchestral backgrounds on previous albums that complement Nelson's gravely voice.  American Rag Sweater, Chunky V-Neck Classic Black M $39.00 Wear this oversized chunky-knit sweater from American Rag on days when you want to look cool and feel warm!  Tony Bennett - American Classic $11.98 Bennett needs these "singers" to do duets with, like he needs a hole in the head. The most obvious thing that comes out of viewing this mess, is that Bennett is Bennett is now in a class by himself and the rest, save KD Lang, Stevie, Streisand and the campy Elton John, are not even in the ballpark. The intro's, intrusive and unnecessary on the first viewing, become all the more grating on subsequent viewings. Pass on this mess and get the DVD's of Bennett in concert with his trio. There are several and all are better than this mess. The one produced by Clint Eastwood is a good place to start. Better yet do yourself a huge favor and make sure to be in the audience the next time Mr. Bennett comes anywhere near your town. Rarely will you encounter an entertainer of such skill, who remains so enraptured with the joy of giving his all at every performance. |
