5.0 out of 5 stars
Absolutely sublime, September 25, 2010
These are songs from the era of Tin Pan Alley performed by a 16 piece band from Holland that truly loves and appreciates the period. They are, it is true, quite sad lyrically, all about love gone painfully wrong. Yet they touch such a place of the heart and as to buoy the world-weary spirit.
How do these songs manage this? Just buy this and find out; I'm not competent to describe such a paradoxical reality as the damaged beauty that you will hear on this record. All I can tell you is that I once worked in a record store and every time we played this CD it was bought by people who had the most mysterious smiles on their faces.
