5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent exploration of Arlen, July 20, 1999

By	Mr G (Lisbon) - See all my reviews

Julie Wilson offers another masterclass performance of songs by Harold Arlen with his numerous lyricists. Arlen's name is not as well known as some of his contemporaries, but his talents as a songwriter were magnificent. Julie Wilson and William Roy mine the Arlen songbook to produce an album of sterling quality, delivering delightful duets on such gems as 'Push De Button' and 'Lydia The Tattooed Lady'. Wilson offers brilliant readings of ballads and rhythm songs, capturing the mood and flavour of each song perfectly. Her sensuous take on 'Last Night When We Were Young' is particularly compelling. Roy's piano embellishments are, as ever, full of wit, sensitivity and formidable musicianship. A stunning offering.

5.0 out of 5 stars fascinating, multi layered performance, never boring, March 14, 1999

By A Customer

no matter how many time you listen to her, you'll hear something new each time. Julie Wilson is the consumate cabaret singer.
