It's the truth. Yarbrough has taken sixteen songs from the Fred Rogers songbook and done them proud. And they all swing.
Now, "swing" is a term that needs definition in this case, since the word sometimes carries a connotation of fast rhythms and blaring horn charts. You won't find much of that here. But, swing it does. It's a very gentle sort of swing, and, like Fred Rogers himself, non-threatening and full of love. This won't make you hop up off the couch and jitterbug, but it will definitely make you want to hug someone special to you. That can be fun, too.
The session opens, as seems obligatory in any reading of Rogers' work, with a version of "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" In a similar nod to conformity, it closes with "It's Such A Good Feeling". No problem with that, as it's expected and they're both swell tunes, wherever they might have shown up. In between, we get material that will be familiar to long-time viewers of Fred's show, most done up in a cool lounge vibe. Over top of the solid bass and drums, there are healthy doses of to-the-point laid-back guitar soloing, some extremely tasty piano work, occasional loosening of the horn section's leash (to very good effect on "You've Got To Do It", which features Roy Agee, George Tidwell, and the late Boots Randolph, trading short solos on trombone, trumpet, and saxophone, respectively), a few country-tinged pieces dominated by cello and fiddle, and - most inviting - Yarbrough's wonderful vocals.
Yarbrough has a truly great set of pipes, and she uses them well. Her singing is smooth and melodic throughout. There's truly little to quibble about in her choices. Throughout the CD, you ride along on the light golden honey of her singing, nary a bump in the road anywhere, and it's an enjoyable journey.
One of my all-time favorite Fred Rogers compositions is the love song, "When The Day Turns Into Night", and I'm happy to report it's included here and done exceedingly well. The lyric is simple, yet as achingly beautiful as anything ever written by more-well-known purveyors of melancholy than Rogers - if the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Fred is puppets, this one may surprise you - and Yarbrough invests the words with just the right amount of tension, neither going over the top or leaving them bereft of the necessary emotion.
My favorite cut is probably "Everybody's Fancy", which opens with a bit of light scatting before the main lyric. This also features a very direct Lori Mechem piano solo.
I could go on and give you a description of every other selection, but I think I'd be doing you a disservice if I did so. You'll be more delighted if you buy the CD (or download the songs) and discover the good bits for yourself. This is a collection of Fred Rogers' songs that will, if you listen to it in the company of a significant other, likely make your evening all warm and tingly. Who knew?
Additionally, the packaging is very cute. It is a cardboard, die-cut circle around the shoes pictured, and the inside contains a sendable post card, and a CD that resembles a vinyl record. The vintage design is great, and would make a great gift or collectible item for the Mr. Rogers fan in your life (or for yourself)!
Obviously, I made a great purchase!
