5.0 out of 5 stars This album is Anthony's "ThankYou" to his fans ., November 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Back in the Swing (Audio CD)

After a meteoric rise to Australian musical theatre's top ranks, via shows like Guys and Dolls, Les Miserables and the lead in "Phantom" Anthony Warlow's first two albums were highly successful. Fans outside Aus may not be aware that in 1992, at the peak of his career, Anthony was stricken with cancer. "Back in the Swing" was his way of saying to the fans who had supported him through the ensuing battle,"Hey, I'm OK now. I'm back in the swing!" Listen carefully to his own particular lyrics in "This Can't Be Love". Never was an album more delightedly welcomed, especially as the whole performance completely lived up to the exceptional standard we had come to expect of this very talented artist. A different slant here, honey-smooth renditions of swing era favourites, many of which were originally made popular by Nat King Cole. In my opinion, Anthony does it better!

5.0 out of 5 stars And now for something completely different..., October 2, 1999

Anthony Warlow can do no wrong, and this CD is another example of that! This recording differs from the showtune fare you'll usually hear him sing - and it's a nice break! It's filled with a great sense of fun with a few songs of pure beauty. A couple of my favorites are the wonderfully fun "Orange Coloured Sky" and the absolutely breathtaking "Without A Song." A must-have for any fan of either Warlow or the old swing era music!

Wow! . . . . Wow. Anthony touches each tune with such integrity, such emotion, such sincerity! His golden voice resurrects each song with all the life and character one could ever expect! He sings "Autumn Leaves" with such longing and such power! The medley "Almost Like Being In Love/This Can't Be Love" is sheer bliss, and will have you singing in the sunshine on a cloudy day! "Smile" is utterly heartbreaking! All of the songs are so perfect, and Anthony's whimsical interpretations bring about so many unexpected (and very pleasant) surprises! (As much as I'd like to tell you, I wouldn't wanna spoil the surprise!) Get this CD!
