I do believe this makes him the first artist to appear twice in the list. And fair enough. If Sarah Vaughan's album is a sure fire way to get lucky then this album should come with a money off voucher for the morning after pill.
You put this on and the lights dim inside your head. The sweet stupor of inhibition-lowering alcohol washes over you without imbibing a drop. I don't want to call it smooth cuz that'll put the aural image of Kenny G in your head and this is a far cry from the synthetic nature of those productions.
This glides.
From the opening bars of what is almost certainly the album's most well known track - So What - to the end of...the last one (depending on which issue you're playing), it is seductive and deliciously relaxing. The laid-back, who-gives-a-fuck message of track 1 permeates the mood throughout.
This is another of the albums that I already knew very well, by the way. I've fallen asleep listening to it many times but its soporific qualities are in this case a positive. Yep, I've fallen asleep to this many times. I didn't say I was alone or what I was doing beforehand ;-)
Mr. Sinatra has already appeared twice I'm afraid to say ;-)
ReplyDeleteDang it. Knew I shoulda checked. Wee Small Hours is so _very_ forgettable tho.
