Or perhaps what Stallone reveals is that every era has its context, and though supplanted by modern tempos, styles, and turns of phrase, the insights of yester-year often parallel the artistic and emotional discoveries of today.
With this album Stallone has provided something rare: a musical outing firmly entrenched in the styles, modes, and tonal decour of a bygone era which somehow simultaneously embraces the pleasures of nostalgia and the joys of resurrection.
