Product Description

From Amazon.com

The big-label bow of this Toronto-born, classically trained pretender to the contemporary crooner crown comes bundled in a shrewdly frank marketing gambit. Dusk scored a recurring role on the reality series Casino as a young, wannabe showroom headliner. As with virtually every ambitious retro-pop male vocalist since Harry Connick, Jr., the musical touchstone here is Sinatra, from the album's title track (an 80th-birthday gift from U2 to the Chairman himself, who never recorded it) to a rhythmically sprightly take on "Fly Me To the Moon." But what noses the 24-year-old Dusk ahead of his rat-packaged competitors here is a promising understanding of the canon that goes deeper than mere ring-a-ding-ding trappings. While his bold, downbeat recasting of the Beatles' "Please Please Me" falls short of its ambitions, songs like "Lonely Road," "Every Mother's Son," "Always" and "Five" (the latter two tellingly co-written by the singer himself) have a reflective, autumnal tone that gratifyingly echo Sinatra's own period of willful, introspective reinvention in the mid-1950s. --Jerry McCulley

3.0 out of 5 stars Almost hits the shot., Feb 26 2006
By A Customer
Enjoyable, but not anywhere near as effective as I thought he might me. Dusks sincerity didn't resonate with me. It may be that many of these songs were not of his choice?

5.0 out of 5 stars Miracle-what else can I say?, Mar 10 2005
By A Customer
Matt Dusk is an awesome singer with his jazzy way of performing. Running across this cd was one of the best things that could have happened to me- for the music is stunning. Yes, many of the songs may have been written by other singers, but it's his new twists on them that make this cd fun. It surely is worth your consideration.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Guy's Got It, Dec 21 2004
By RONALD G PRITCHARD (Beamsville, Ontario) - See all my reviews
Now that Sinatra is gone and Tony Bennett, while still a terrific singer, is well into his seventies, it's great that singers like Michael Buble and Matt Dusk have come along.

The voice is terrific, and he really gets into these songs, most of which are new to me. Like Sinatra and Bennett, he makes each song a personal drama. Also like them, he has a terrific ability to express emotion with his voice and his interpretations. Yet he is his own person, doing things his own way, and not a pale imitation of anybody, past or present.

For a singer this young to sing with such assurance and artistry is remarkable. I'd love to hear him record an album of standards.
