Music reviews of Duets II
Music Review: The End to an Incredible Recording Career
Rating: 2 Stars
Following the commercial success on the 1993 Duets, nearly one year to the day of that release came the follow-up from Capitol Records, which hit the retail shelves on November 15, 1994.
The last studio recordings from Frank Sinatra feature 14 selections with 16 performers. Such stars like Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder, Lena Horne, Willie Nelson and Frank Sinatra Jr. contributed their duet parts to Sinatra's pre-recorded vocals.
Phil Ramone again drenches syrup over the production, though the album won the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance. It reached the ninth spot on the Billboard albums chart and sold over one-million copies in the United States. It also peaked at the twenty-ninth position on the UK chart.
Sinatra was in declining health, hence his effort is commendable. But the release is not the starting point to appreciate the iconic career of the vocalist who created modern pop phrasing and was a relevant performer for an amazing seven decades.
Description of Duets II
Encouraged by the massive sales of 1993's Duets, Capitol went back to the well a year later for a sequel. The pairings are a little more inspired this time around, with Willie Nelson ("A Foggy Day"), Lena Horne ("Embraceable You"), Chrissie Hynde ("Luck Be a Lady") and Antonio Carlos Jobim ("Fly Me to the Moon") all turning in satisfying performances. Unfortunately, there's also a heaping helping of forgettable cuts (including duets with Luis Miguel, Jimmy Buffett, Jon Secada, and Lorrie Morgan), and Phil Ramone's arrangements continue to grate. And the overwrought duet with Neil Diamond on "The House Live In (That's America to Me)" has to be heard to be believed. Hardly a necessary addition to your Sinatra collection. --Dan EpsteinGeneral CDs
