Rufus does Judy at Carnegie Hall
Rufus, I love ya and Release the Stars was quite wonderful, but you're not Judy Garland. I don't think your nasal, lethargic voice is suited to these songs at all and listening to you murder these classics is making me lose the will to live. I think it's a little self-indulgent.And that's my damning mini-review of this album, 'Rufus does Judy at Carnegie Hall'.
Even the sleeve photo looks like you're not really into it yourself.
Your sis does a mean Stormy Weather, though.
I had a similar reaction to this. I was so excited to hear him do these songs... and I find I can't stand it! Gets on my last nerve.
I think he's going to listen back to this in a few years time and really hate it himself.
