 | | John Gary : Catch a Rising Star - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | Catch a Rising Star seemed designed to showcase Gary's multi-octave voice, with its soaring tenor that crossed over into falsetto without any break, rather than to give him a hit record, since the songs were mostly familiar. |
 | | He covered material associated with Tony Bennett and Nat "King" Cole, presented his own versions of some '50s and '60s hits, and displayed considerable versatility going from country tunes like Hank Williams' "Your Cheatin' Heart" to the Caribbean-style "Yellow Bird," which sounded like the sort of thing his labelmate Harry Belafonte was known for. |
