This is the first CD from new label PS classics from producer Tommy Krasker.
Its sound is unique among recent recordings, because it recaptures the singer with the band style of big bands and dance bands of the 1940s. Chaffin's voice and control are vital ingredients in pulling this off, and the result's a delight throughout. He does a great Serenade in Blue.
The rare Fields item Where Do I Go From You? has a sweet, rueful lyric, and there are many other worthwhile discoveries from great songwriters. The original lyric for Too Marvelous For Words features a refrain we never hear now, and Mercer has some real fun with words in this version.
