Music reviews of At Long LastMusic Review: FINE & MELLOW
Firstly, I'd like to write a few things about the other customer reviews I've read about this album: One of the writers said that the choice of material was weak. Can classic songs like "The Man Who Got Away" or "Just In Time," "Willow Weep For Me," "Lullaby of Broadway," etc. ever be considered light-weight? How about "In The Wee Small Hours of the Morning?" or "I Got Rhythm?" All of these and 10 more are well represented on this CD. There is even a less well-known number called "If Swing Goes I Go Too" written by none other than Fred Astaire. Another reviewer complained that Clooney's voice is not what it used to be. Big surprise: A woman of 70+ years does not sound as technically good as she did when she was in her 30's or 50's. But, as opposed to many other singers, with Clooney you get the ups & downs of a long, spectacular career reflected in her voice. This first-rate combination of one of America's finest song stylists and, arguably, America's finest big band is inspired. Clooney's interpretive skills are as sharp as ever, even if she does not have all of her top notes, even if she shies away from a legato line. Her duet with Barry Manilow ("How About You") is witty and charming with the singers obviously enjoying their time together. Is this my favorite Rosie album? Not by a long shot. That would probably be "Demi-Centennial" or "Do You Miss New York?" or one of her tribute albums to the likes of Cole Porter or Johnny Mercer or Irving Berlin. But it is a fine, mellow, sweet, sophisticated CD and well worth anyone's time and money.
