The record
A songwriter's songwriter takes the mic here, working through a small combo with the easy confidence of someone who penned standards for Sinatra and Day. Leatherwood, Stoller, and Pitman keep things light and swinging, framing that relaxed, conversational baritone in classic mid-'50s RCA fashion.
