Another example of my penchent for recording magnificent singers without a rythm section, accompanied solely by a big orchestra. Justin and I had been friends for a while before we decided to find a prioject to do together, and Classic Blue is the result we chose to do big, challenging songs. Challenging, only because magnificent versions of them already existed. It put on us a self imposed obligation to find a way to record them in a very different way. Favourite tracks for me are “MacArthur Park", Jimmy Webbs masterpiece which includes delibertatly trivial but nevertheless fascinating lyrics. Other favourites include a simple strin orchestra version of “Pual mcCartneys” “Blackbird”, and the Beach Boys classic “God Only Knows” Justins voice seems to suit them all so well!
