Search on GEMM | | If ever a record was made for me, it was this. It's a really beautiful album of Bacharach covers recorded by German studio musicians in a pseudo-classical baroque style. The instrumentation is guitar, harpshichord, viola d'amore, drums, etc. Some tracks are slightly funky. All are rather swinging and excellent. The track choices are right on. Highlights for me are 'walk on by' and 'casino royale', but it's really all excellent.
- Do you know the way to San Jose
- This Guy's in Love with You
- Promises, Promises
- I say a little prayer
- Walk on By
- Casino Royale
- Reach out for me
- Wishin’ & Hopin’
- Message to Michael
- Alfie
- Are you there with another girl
- What the World Needs Now is Love
