Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pivoting aggressively away from the teen idol rock and roll that launched his career, the ambitious vocalist immerses himself in sophisticated adult pop standards. Supported by Richard Wess's incredibly brassy, swinging orchestrations, the album successfully validated his intense desire to be recognized as a mature, multi-faceted entertainer akin to Frank Sinatra.
