"If you want to see a singer do a high wire act with only a piano as a net and come out triumphant, then you must purchase Toni Tennille's new CD "Incurably Romantic". Beautifully performed and recorded, this album displays how Toni Tennille has one of the most endearing and dramatic voices in the entertainment industry. This CD shows that having talent is all you need to make a memorable and entertaining statement of quality music ...Toni's approach is quite simple...a singer and a piano...and the results are "simply magical". This is one of the finest recordings Toni Tennille has ever recorded!"
Tennille at her zenith!

"This cd is pure delight! It features Tennille's smoky alto and piano. That's it. No big band, no jazz ensemble, and no orchestra. Tennille masters each of the fifteen cuts, providing a heartfelt interpretation of the lyrics. She includes rarely heard verses and preludes to many of these "standards" songs. The piano accompanyist, Kathy Rubbicco, is first-rate. The recording is pristine. Included among the 15 standards from the 30's and 40's are: "It's Magic", "Tenderly", "I've Got a Crush on You", "For All We Know", "At Last", and "Candy". This is the Tennille album you must buy. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommended."
This cd will brighten up your days, I promise

"This cd is a fine addition to my cd collection. I features the warm and friendly voice of Toni. It is probably one of her best cd ever.For this project, Toni decided to feature the traditioanl standards that we have come to love and cherish. What a treat it is to hear these old work horses again. Most of the songs featured her are my favorites.Also for this cd Toni choose to go with piano accompaniment only. This in my opinion was a good move. I have always considered the piano my favorite instrument for accompaniment.Recommendation: I think this cd is one that you must have."
Beautiful Brilliant and Wonderful!!

"Do you remember the Captain and Tennille's pop hits of the seventies? Well, you'll have to forget them when judging this set. Toni has recorded a set of standards from the thirties and forties with just a piano to accompany her lovely, smoky, sexy, alto voice, which has never sounded better. As to the Captain, Daryl Dragon, he's still there, but just as producer and husband.Most of the songs are well known to fans of the Great American Songbook, but the most famous of all is It's magic, the Doris Day classic. Of course, Doris did the song with more substantial musical backing, and it certainly sounds different with just a singer and a piano.The other songs are well-chosen to fit the mood that Toni set out to create. This album has no obvious highlights, simply because the quality throughout is so high.In an age when record companies often spend vast sums of money on multi-layered instrumentation, this album is so refreshing. Of course, the pianist (Kathy Rubbicco) must get her share of the credit for this wonderful album.The album is named after the opening song, Incurably Romantic, and it's entirely appropriate. But there is one other song here who's title would equally have described the album - It's magic."
