This self-titled effort for a small label found him mixing soft-rock standards such as Simon \u0026amp; Garfunkels \"Bridge over Troubled Water,\" the Eagles \"Lyin Eyes,\" and the Beatles \"Long and Winding Road\" with older favorites, sometimes literally, as in a bizarre medley of Carole Kings \"Youve Got a Friend,\" James Taylors \"Fire and Rain,\" and songs from George Gershwins Porgy and Bess. Jones also remade \"The Race Is On,\" one of his 60s hits, and co-wrote the novelty song \"My Fault\" (about romance and California earthquakes). The songs were cut with a rock rhythm section, and strings. While Jones sang the material gamely -- his interpretations had become far more rhythmic and expressive since his early days -- this was the sort of album that would have sounded dated had it been recorded in the early 70s, much less the early 80s. As usual, the rock songs were far too closely identified with their authors to admit to satisfying covers, especially since Jones was essentially aping the original arrangements. ~ William Ruhlmann\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strap Originals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50275468149025,"sku":"8720996261507","price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/8720996261507.jpg?v=1725775382","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/it-it\/products\/8720996261507","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
