5.0 out of 5 stars Let Brook Carry You Off To Dreamland, July 17, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: My Country / That Old Feeling (Audio CD)

Brook Benton is one of the best interpreters of romantic ballads that I have ever heard. These two albums, recorded in the mid sixties for RCA Victor, more than justifies that assertion. For the first album, "My Country," Brook sings twelve country love songs with pop orchestrations and arrangements by Anita Kerr. You will be amazed at how different they sound from their original versions. His heartfelt rendition of "Have I Told You Lately that I Love You" is just remarkable. The second album, "That Old Feeling," is even better and, most likely, my favorite album of his. Brook croons a dozen pop standards backed by the lush sound of a string orchestra conducted by Glenn Osser. His rich, seductive baritone caresses every song, converting every one into a classic of its own. "That Old Feeling," "Blue Moon," "My Darling, My Darling," every track is flawless. The set closes with his warm, incomparable rendition of "Moon River" which, for me, is the definitive version of the Henry Mancini classic. So, put out the lights, close your eyes, and be swept away by the beautiful voice of Brook Benton.

The Brook Benton double album, "My County/That Old Feeling," is some very fine work. Around the mid-1960s, Mr. Benton took a brief break from his "sweet soul" R&B to make these two albums of great old vocal standards. His gentle, gospel-trained voice and nice interpretations produce a wonderful musical experience. Mr. Benton and his fine singing voice indeed will be missed (yes, he's been gone for awhile). I say, give this album a listen; you won't be disapppointed!

This is Brook Benton at his best! As far as I'm concerned these are the two of his best albums. That Old Feeling is his best work by far!!! It doesn't get any better than this.
