Album Notes & Community Reviews

The enormously popular television comedian continues his phenomenally successful sideline as a purveyor of incredibly lush, romantic mood music. The sweeping, string-drenched orchestrations are designed explicitly as sophisticated background music for late-night domestic relaxation. The album perfectly distills the era's massive consumer appetite for pristine, sentimental easy-listening records.
