 CD review: "The Still of the Night"
So now Tom Wopat has come home to the music he loves and prefers, to the timeless standards of Harold Arlen and Cole Porter, of Rogers & Hart, Hoagy Carmichael and Frank Loeser.
The arrangements are spare, and keep the focus on Wopat's rich baritone voice, a voice seemingly made to caress the lyrics from "Let's Fall In Love," "Makin' Whoopee," "Where or When" or the title track.
Also noteworthy is the first ever recording of Tony Bennett's daughter, Antonia, in a duet with Wopat on "Baby It's Cold Outside." Her high, thin voice is similar to the late Minnie Ripperton's, and it might get old after awhile, but for one song, balanced against Wopat's deep vocals, it's near-perfect.
