CD. Zustand: Very Good. Much like 2001's Songs I Heard and 2004's Only You, 2009's Your Songs finds v ocalist/pianist Harry Connick, Jr. coming up with an urbane and passionate set o f American popular songs and contemporary pop classics that he both performs and orchestrates. While his previous recordings leaned toward the classicist side - - Only You featured songs of the '50s and '60s -- Your Songs features a more ecl ectic mix of standards and pop songs with Connick's own lush orchestration lendi ng an overall aesthetic of languid romanticism. To this end, Connick turns Billy Joel's Just the Way You Are into a kind of Herb Alpert-inspired '60s pop nugg et and, conversely, the Beatles' 1964 classic And I Love Her gets a kind of '7 0s Latin lounge feel with classical guitar flourishes. However, Connick isn't on ly concerned with reworking tunes in unexpected ways; on the contrary, longtime fans of Connick's swinging neo-crooner work will be pleasantly surprised by his straightforward takes on Just the Way You Look Tonight and Some Enchanted Eve ning. Similarly engaging are his renditions of such rock-oriented tunes the alb um's Elton John title track, his low-key version of Don McLean's And I Love You So, and the Carpenters' (They Long to Be) Close to You. Ultimately, Your Son gs is a classy and feel-good stroll of an album. ~ Matt Collar.…
