Customer Rating: 
Summary: not as good as expected
Comment: I ordered this CD thinking it would be as good as the 49th Parallel Cd of hers-it is not-I was disappointed-did not care for Tony Bennett that much-
Customer Rating:
Summary: What an absolute pleasure
Comment: The voices of Tony and KD go so well together. What an absolute pleasure to listen to the songs on this CD!
Customer Rating:
Summary: mellow and solid
Comment: i like mellow music, but i like it full bodied . this is a very fine record. i'm not a big fan of the recent duet phase we're all going through but this one is a good idea that is also well executed. a good cd to have in your car.

Summary: Tony & k.d.
Comment: Tony delivers his usual high standard performance, uniquely matched by k.d. whose voice is as mooth as a baby's bottom. Their blend is one no one would've thought to put together, but it works--it REALLY works. Even in light on TB's new albumn of duets, this older one is one of the best.

Summary: The Odd Couple Making Perfect Music Together
Comment: Tony Bennett and k.d. lang. Whooda thunk? Obviously they both knew they clicked when they sang together on Tony's earlier CD of duets. Thank the Lord for the follow up. This is probably one of the most beautiful duets CDs I've ever heard. Hell, it's probably the most beautiful CD I've ever heard. Period. There is a chemistry between these two that is magical, soulful, playful, loving and serious all at the same time. Two great singers. Two great interpreters. Not a bad song on the CD. Musical perfection! Ya also gotta love Tony for paying a heartfelt spoken tribute on the A Wonderful World cut to the muse behind this venture, Louis Armstrong.

Never mind the project's odd couple, "He's got a girlfriend; so does she" marketing shuck. This is a musical love affair in all its splendor. Produced by the seemingly chameleonic producer T Bone Burnett (who previously revived traditional bluegrass with spectacular success on O Brother, Where Art Thou?), the septuagenarian legend and his unlikely contemporary foil affectionately court a dozen songs from the Louis Armstrong repertoire with the warmth and natural grace that have been a deceptively effortless Bennett trademark for 50-plus years. The pair kick proceedings off with a playful, irony-free "Exactly Like You," then perform a tender vocal waltz across both the ages and the masterful, sympathetic orchestrations of the late Peter Matz, one of Bennett's longtime collaborators. But it's on the more melancholy performances, like "If We Never Meet Again," "I'm Confessin'," and the Armstrong perennials "Wonderful World" and "Lucky Old Sun," that the pair tap into something akin to timeless musical telepathy. Her own talents hardly in need of burnishing, lang invests the project with some gratifying new smokiness and is rewarded with a postgraduate course in saloon singing for the ages. It's an album that begs the best kind of question: When do we get an encore? --Jerry McCulley
