Great Stuff. Shades of Bing Crosby. Just NICE music!
author: Clyde HusseyIn this day of music that mostly sounds like truck crashes on the highway, Jim's laid-back style and pleasing voice brings back memories of the old crooners like Bing Crosby. The selection of tunes is perfect. This CD is good background for anything and worth the foreground if you are less than 50 years old and don't know what real music sounds like.
Like a fine wine...
author: David DiggsExperience American popular music history via JB's CD. Jim's velvet-smooth vocal cords get better with age, and his soulful poignant delivery is consistently on point!
