5.0 out of 5 stars INCREDIBLE FROM FIRST NOTE TO LAST, October 25, 2010

This review is from: Fly Me To The Moon...The Great American Songbook Volume V (Audio CD)

Without a doubt this is the best of the five Great American Songbook releases. It get's better and better with each play and the song selection is perfect. Richard Perry's production is so great the songs just take you away. Get the 2 cd deluxe edition. It has six amazing bonus tracks for a total of 18 songs. This one will be in my cd player for some time. It's a true

classic that everyone should hear. Don't miss it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Flawless Album!!, October 24, 2010

This album has got me dancing! I have listened to it non stop for the last few days since I bought it. It is infectious! I adore everything from the song selection, to the arrangements, the production, and of course the impeccable vocal stylings. It is always a treat to hear timeless American songs sung by one of the best voices of our time.

Rod brings a whole new element to these songs, his voice is so soulful that the lyrics take on a whole new meaning with his raw and raspy style. Traditionally these songs are sung very straight, boring almost. Rod lifts them, and adds so much more feeling! To me these are better than the originals! Moon River, just perfect in every way. I got chills when I first heard it. Love Me Or Leave Me is a refreshing song, so much fun, you can't help but dance when you hear it!

I own all five of the American Songbook albums, and I have to say this is my favorite.

I highly recommend this album to anyone. In my opinion it is universal, it appeals to all. My wife and I have been enjoying it with all three of our kids, who are already singing along to the songs. They are ages 8, 13, and 16. I was impressed that they took a liking to this this album, especially my 16 year old!

Rod is introducing the classics to a whole new generation!
