5.0 out of 5 stars You've got to get this album. So exciting and enjoyable!!, October 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Come By Me (Audio CD)

In this album he did more of his big band style stuff and it was just such a joy to listen to. It just makes you excited about life and that is definately one of the signs of good music. Harry is a genius as we fans already know and this just takes it to even greater heights. Some people complain about his funk stuff and such because they don't understand that it's all a part of what Harry grew up with -- it's all a part of New Orleans and the feel of what Harry is all about. So I don't say thank goodness he came back to the more big bandish, swing style -- but instead I say thank goodness that he came out with another CD so soon after the last one(I was starting to get major withdrawals). Harry always comes through for his fans and that is something that doesn't happen very often -- or so it seems -- in the music world. He's consistently amazing and never dissapointing. His music is always filled with life and this CD is no exception. THANKS HARRY!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Mix of Old and New, May 14, 2005

Harry Connick Jr.'s "Come By Me" is a fabulous mix of fresh arrangements on beloved standards and refreshingly beautiful new and original songs. He uses both Orchestra and a return to the Big Band style for some wonderful variety. The more I played it, the more I loved it.

The songs he has written including "Nowhere With Love" and "Come By Me", combined with his smooth and familiar vocal tones, and the wonderful sounds of the very talented musicians, seem to have a perfect fit with songs we already love. He does it his way with such greats as Cole Porter's "Love For Sale", the soft shoe sound of Irving Berlin's "There's No Business Like Show Business" and his touching rendition of the sentimental "Danny Boy".

It's an absolute treat to hear Johnny Mercer's and Henry Mancini's "Charade" and Arthur Hamilton's "Cry Me A River" revived so wonderfully for a new generation to aprreciate. If you think they just don't make em like they used to, Harry's own "A Moment With Me" should make you happy. He puts his own heart and soul into his originals, and the fine intsrumental solos complete the package.

I love the mix and the variety(see buying info for complete list of songs) on this album. Romantic, dreamy, sentimental and nostalgic. There are 13 tracks in all that run a nice hour. The CD is a very good quality. A fold out pamphlet is enclosed with some production notes and the words to all the songs.

For Romancing and dancing, for Harry fans and lovers of the old standards(or lovers in general)...it's "best of the bill"..enjoy...Laurie

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW is harry good!, November 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Come By Me (Audio CD)

I haven't been a harry connick jr fan until now. i just bought this cd b/c of a friend's comments, and I absolutly love it. I like that he mixes the songs with those he wrote and old classics as well, like "change partners" and others. He sings them nice and slow, and has such a fantastic voice. But, my favorites on here are "Nowhere with love" and "Come by me." They're really catchy tunes. And the big band sound is what makes it great jazz. I'm delighted to say this made me a fan of his! It's smooth and relaxing, I really recommend this! :)
