Perfect interpretations of perfect songs

"What sets this CD apart from other recordings of standards is that you'll hear the words as if they're being said only to you--it's like you're reading a letter from a dear old friend. Kreutz's voice is beautiful (with perfect intonation and diction), his musicians are excellent, and the arrangements elegant, but it's the way all the elements come together so that each song tells a story that makes the CD really special. The title track and "Blame It On My Youth" are almost painfully beautiful and moving, and "Whatever Happened to Melody" has an unexpectedly chilling ending. If you are looking for "grown up" music that will make you think and feel and cry, you'll love this CD."
