Doug Ferony: I'm In Love with a Girl
The play list has a nice mix of ballads and up tempo material, all delivered by Ferony in an extremely pleasing and listenable crooner like baritone. One of the fun tunes on the program is "Kansas City" where he's backed by a couple of back up vocalists which brings back memories of some of the tunes from the 1950's with the backups inserting squeals along the way. But Ferony stirs memories of those male masters of the pop tune so sorely missed, viz., Frank Sinatra, Dick Haymes and Bobby Darin. It's a pleasure to listen to a singer who gets by with simply working the material without feeling he has to muddle matters with the patina of what passes for hip these days. This is an album loaded with enduring tunes with engaging arrangements performed by a singer who knows what to do with them. Recommended.
