CD Reviews

Mercer rules!
California Greg | USA | 11/10/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I have many of the songs here on the original albums from which they came and it's an excellent compilation.



If you have a chance to see Eastwood's documentary currently airing on TCM this month, by all means do so. It was excellent.



The song choices here are great...we're only sadly limited by space as there are so many GREAT Johnny Mercer choices available. I'd only quibble with the omission of a Mercer song by Judy Garland, who shared a special relationship with Mercer over the years and whom he quietly described as his muse. The stunning arrangement of "Come Rain or Come Shine" she does, with its final notes shattering the ceiling, is not to be missed and would have been great here, too."
There's one song in the collection

"worth the price of the whole "The Dream's On Me" and that's Daryl Sherman's "I Thought About You!" On a CD full of gems, Sherman's breathy girly gutsy take on this song will melt your heart!"
