JSngry Posted August 23, 2009 Report Posted August 23, 2009 If that, then this.... You'd think, but for me...no. The earlier album bogs down under it's own weight as it goes along, whereas the later one is to the point and floats confidently all the way. If the Here's To Life is a storm that eventually causes flooding, You're My Thrill is a steady shower that just saturates the ground and then stops to let the sun come out. Mind you, I'm not getting rid of my copy of Here's To Life... I have Here's To Life (and like it a lot), but not You're My Thrill. IIRC, on Here's To Life, Johnny Mandel was orchestrating the arrangements that Shirley had done; her reharmonizations, etc. Is it the same deal on You're My Thrill, or was there a different collaborative thing that maybe accounts for the different assessment? Not sure...need to go back and reread the linear notes... Appears to be the same deal in both cases - trio w/vocals recorded 1st, then orchestrations based on and around that. Quote
