+ 1/2 star excellent--as far as it goes, that is Nov 22, 2009
They may say that this is a "career spanning CD;" but for a talent like Andy Williams it's tough for me to accept this as a real "very best of" retrospective of Andy's wonderful singing. Yes, we do indeed get nothing but superb music here; and Andy's voice is enchanting. Unfortunately, however, if any record label wants to release music that covers the best of Andy's entire career, they would have to release at least a two CD set. This is best seen as a type of retrospective of Andy's career geared toward the more casual fan who wants some of Andy's best songs. On the bright side again, however, the quality of the sound is excellent and that artwork is really nice.
All of the songs on this album are fantastic--there's not a dud in the bunch. "Moon River," a song that Andy always likes to sing, starts off the track set with Andy squarely in the spotlight; and he sings this faultlessly. The strings enhance the musical arrangement, too; I really love Andy's version of "Moon River." The theme from the movie "Love Story" charms me with its beauty; Andy delivers this like the master he always was and always will be! This number leaves nothing to be desired--this music is all THAT good. In addition, "Can't Get Used to Losing You" is a gem; Andy makes this shine brighter than silver and gold combined! He handles key and tempo changes like the master he is. "Born Free" and the love theme from "Romeo and Juliet" also impress me greatly.
I like the love theme from "The Godfather;" and there's yet another highlight when Andy performs "Days of Wine and Roses." "Days of Wine and Roses" is a stunning tune that I could never tire of hearing when Andy sings it. "Music to Watch Girls By" is a "hip and happenin'" tune even after all these years; I really like "Music to Watch Girls By."
"Can't Take My Eyes off You" offers up another beautiful love song; and how's about that brass? The CD ends very well with Andy Williams performing one of his best holiday songs entitled "It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year." What a great way to end the CD!
If you like Andy Williams you may well have these songs already; but this is great for newcomers to Andy Williams or people who just want some of Andy's best. Unfortunately, however, it's just not enough of a retrospective to qualify in my book as a "very best of" CD. You'll need at least two CDs for that!
