Has anyone else listened to this guy? I discovered him when I saw the movie Down With Love and got the soundtrack. I've been listening to it nonstop the past week and he still has me thinking that I'm listening to Frank Sinatra. You can listen to his entire debut album online for free at his official website:

More artists should follow this example. Aimee Mann did it with "Lost in Space" and got me to buy the album. It's very likely that I'll do the same with Bublé's debut album and every other album that he does this with, as long as they're all worth buying.

I have to agree. He is very very good. Been listening and to his music in the car alot lately.

I heard his CD in the CD shop and bought, more for the wife as she's a Sinatra fan. Having heard it a fair bit, I'm more inclined to say he's the new Harry Connick Jr rather than Frank.

He's not bad, but still somehow doesn't quite measure up to Sinatra. Although he might in later years.

I command ye thread to riseth up.

Wow. Just heard this guy twice today on DirecTv's "Singers and Standards". Very impressive. Anyone own any of his CDs? Are there any SACDs or DVD-As of this guy?

 

[Neil White]

Another talented Canadian. I am very impressed with this young guy. I heard him for the first time on TV about a month ago. I then bought one of his CDs and ... well I like it a lot.

Buy his Christmas CD, if you can find it. It is better than his debut...IMHO

 

[EricSchulz]

he has a new CD out tomorrow: 2/17/04...but I don't remember that title of it right now...

 

[ThomasC]

Eric, the album that's being released tomorrow is just an import of his self-titled album. He does have a new album coming out on March 30th, titled "Come Fly With Me."

Are you reffering to the Let it Snow EP? iTunes has the album. I downloaded "Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow" and loved it! His music is very "Coffee House" like.

 

[RobertW]

doesn't do a thing for me. my sister-in-law's mom had the self-titled at christmas, and was raving about him, but it just isn't my bag. covers the songs well enough, but just seems to be nothing else there, no real passion for the music, nothing that he brings of himself to it. just about gagged when i heard what he did to Moondance.

of course, this is coming from my post-punk/indy/alt-country bias, so i guess it's understandable that it''s not really my thing. truthfully, i'm more interested in hearing the new courtney love.

 

[Joe Solek]

Mark, that's the one!

 

[ThomasC]

Kim, how did you get ahold of Babalu? I can't find it on eBay. Was it assigned to an independent label?

 

[KDHM]

A friend burned me a copy of his, I think it was only released in Canada but I am not sure. Other then the web site I linked and some reviews on the web it seems that MB is not talking about it.
