Music reviews of In Your Dreams
Music Review: they're getting to be a habit with me
Rating: 5 Stars
In Your Dreams features the talents of Christine Ebersole and Billy Stritch. The quality of the sound is excellent and the artwork is beautiful. Christine can take a song and easily make it all her own with her terrific interpretation of a ballad; and Billy accompanies her very well, too. Some people may well say--and they have a point--that these songs have been done too many times before; but these ballads are in the "American Songbook" and therefore it's great to hear people paying tribute and attention to them in our times.
"Fine and Dandy" starts the CD off with a very cabaret styled arrangement; Billy and Christine sing this very well--they harmonize beautifully and that's grand. Billy also plays the piano flawlessly and they never miss a beat on "Fine and Dandy." I have never heard this song before but it's full of pep and quite catchy, too. "Nobody Else But Me" again showcases Billy's talents as he both sings and plays piano; and "Nobody Else But Me" is easily a highlight of this album. Great! Similarly, "The Surrey With The Fringe On The Top" was always one of my very favorite classic pop tunes; and just one listen will tell you why it's so very special even today. It's wonderful to hear Billy and Christine harmonize as they deliver "The Surrey With The Fringe On The Top" without a single superfluous note.
"The Folks Who Live On The Hill" gets a very sensitive treatment from Christine and Billy; and listen for "You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me." "You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me" charms me with its beauty and I could never tire of hearing this tune. Christine and Billy make "You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me" another major highlight of this CD. There are also two very classic, older tunes that still shine bright, "We're In The Money" and "Lullaby Of Broadway." "Lullaby Of Broadway" has quite a fine arrangement and I think you'll enjoy it very much. Christine never sounded better.
"Can't Help Lovin' That Man of Mine" is a stunning love ballad that will always be timeless; and they play with the key modulations and tempo a bit to put their own stamp on this ballad. "There's a Boat Dat's Leavin' Soon For New York" comes from Porgy and Bess if I recall correctly; and wow, how Christine Ebersole and Billy Stritch perform this with panache! The CD ends strong with Christine and Billy performing a great medley of "Put Your Dreams Away / Hit The Road To Dreamland / It's a Pity To Say Goodnight." This is one splendid ending for this album!
I highly recommend this CD for fans of Billy Stritch and Christine Ebersole; and people who like classic pop vocals will love this, too. There's a good amount of cabaret styled music on this album; and if you like this CD you may also want to try the CD entitled Sunday In New York by these two artists.
