Harry Connick, Jr

Come By Me

Harry does it his way...and that's fine by me.

Review Score:

(8/10)
This is the first Harry Connick CD I've purchased, though I've been an admirer of his work since When Harry Met Sally. I would definately say that I got the most for my money. This album is a wonderful mix of standards and original works, combined with Harry's smooth, mellow voice and nimble fingers at the piano. I'm a huge fan of his more upbeat numbers. My personal favorites are Nowhere with Love (which wasn't exactly upbeat, but it did have a jazzy attitude that really appeals to me) and Come By Me. Some of his slower tunes seemed almost TOO slow at times. Perhaps a change in the order of tracks would have remedied this. I was especially disappointed with "There's No Business Like Show Business." I like this piece upbeat, fast. However, all of this failed to detract from my overall enjoyment of the album. The point is, I love it. I will absolutely be picking up some more of his work.
