For McKuen fans only

"I'm not a big Rod McKuen fan. I bought this CD only because it was available at a very low price and it included one of my favorite songs, "If You Go Away". It's pleasant enough listening but after a few songs Rod's vocals tend to wear thin. There are two or three tracks tracks performed by French artists, notably one by Jacques Brel.
Fortunately almost all of Rod's vocals are done in English because his attempts at French just doesn't ring well to my ears. The McKuen standards "Seasons In The Sun" and "I've Been To Town" are a couple of highlights. I'd say if the price is right and you have no major problem with Rod McKuen in general, go for it!"
