Following in the steps of Rod Stewart & Paul McCartney, among others, The Eagles, Glenn Frey does a pretty good job singing standards in "AFTER HOURS".
The best of this trend (Michael Buble aside) so far is , believe it or not, Seth Macfarlane (yes that Seth Macfarlane, creator & voices of "Family Guy"). This is truly a renaissance man--what can't he do?
Macfarlane has by far the best voice but I gotta say Rod Stewart's 5 CDs have the best song choices (I am partial to Cole Porter and Stewart sings a lot of his music).
You really wanna kvetch? Dee Snider (TWISTED SISTER) has a BROADWAY CD; it's interesting if nothing else. He got lots of notables on board-good for him! I guess his 11 week run on the great white way in "ROCK OF AGES" got him hooked and made some connections for this album along the way.
