Music reviews of Swings Cole Porter

Music Review: Bravo Barrowman
Rating: 5 Stars

Bottom line, this is a great CD! 5 stars isn't really enough to rate this wonderful collection of Cole Porter tunes. Every cut is strong and I find the title a bit of a misnomer since beautiful ballads such as In the Still of the Night which is gorgeous and Easy to Love among others are included. When I think of "Swings" I think of the classic Anita O'Day-Billy May collaboration "Anita O'Day Swings Cole Porter" where almost every cut was taken a breakneck speed. Maybe a more apt title should have been "John Barrowman Swings Cole Porter Gently". Whatever the title, John Barrowman sings Cole Porter beautifully including the more obvious choices such as Just One of Those Things, What Is This Thing Called Love? which has a Nelson Riddle-ish arrangement, Don't Fence Me In and Anything Goes to less obvious choices that are recorded less frequently which happen to be personal favorites of mine including After You, Who?, Ca C'est l'Amour and I Happen to Like New York. This collection should please the Porter purist as De-Lovely did not. All of the arrangements are tasteful and John's vocals are incredible. I'm sure Cole Porter would be pleased with this recording as John has a strong voice, excellent enunciation and is true to both the lyrics and music as written. John Barrowman has what it takes to be a huge star, very handsome and very talented. If you saw De-Lovely he has not only a very strong voice, but real screen presence as well. His rendition of Night and Day with Kevin Kline was a highlight in a film filled with highlights. I highly recommend this album to anyone interested in great music from the American songbook, excellent singing, show tunes, etc. Pick it up immediately as you won't be disappointed. BTW, Night and Day is NOT included here in either the duet version from De-Lovely or in a solo version.
