Album review: The Beautiful Songbook

The Beautiful Songbook
Compilation
4-1/2 stars

This double CD collection features 34 songs from decades gone by, with a lot of feelgood music, possibly aimed at more mature audiences.
It's mostly music I was brought up with, hence the pitching at the 30-something-plus age group.

Some of my favourite artists on the album include Engelbert Humperdinck with After the Lovin', Ben E King with Spanish Harlem, Glen Campbell's By The Time I Get To Phoenix, BJ Thomas singing Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, Bread with Diary and the best of both albums - Judy Collins with Send in the Clowns.

Other artists include Otis Redding, Elvis Presley, George Benson, The Beach Boys, Mac Davis, Chicago, John Rowles, Gordon Lightfoot and Dusty Springfield.

If you listen to radio stations such as The Breeze and Coast, then you will like these CDs. They are great CDs to flick on and sit on the deck and chill out.
A beautiful collection of songs.
