Pro Reviews: In My Solitude / Love Is A Now & Then Thing
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews This twofer CD combines Anthony Newley's first and third solo albums, Love Is a Now and Then Thing, originally released in 1960, and In My Solitude from 1964. (Vocalion also has combined Newley's second solo album, Tony, with a compilation LP, Newley Delivered, on another disc.) This matching, while out of chronological order, is justified by the styles of the albums, both of which consist of lovelorn romantic ballads in the manner of Frank Sinatra's concept albums of the 1950s such as Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely. Although Newley was a British pop/rock star in 1960 and by 1964 had become best known as the star and author of the stage hit Stop the World I Want to Get Off, both of these albums find him essaying prerock standards by the likes of Harold Arlen, Cole Porter, and Jule Styne over orchestral backings provided by Eric Rogers (on Love Is a Now and Then Thing) and Ray Ellis (In My Solitude). He does so with considerable ability. His singing is always effective and carefully articulated. He may not have the style of a Sinatra or Tony Bennett, but he has a good tenor voice and a fine understanding of the nuances of the lyrics. There is a noticeable change in his approach between the two albums, however. The changeover appears as of the 13th track, a surprisingly slowed down version of Porter's "It's All Right with Me" that leads off In My Solitude. In the gap between the LPs, Newley had spent two and a half years singing songs like his "What Kind of Fool Am I?" on the stages of London and New York, and the recordings he made for In My Solitude show off a more confident and more mannered performer who holds notes and phrases dramatically; too dramatically, in places. This CD does not present the Anthony Newley his early pop fans or his later theater fans know, but it does presage another Newley, the one who trod the stages of nightclubs and casinos as a middleoftheroad entertainer. - William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide |
