Our Take

In this delightful stroll down Route 66, Nat King Cole takes us on a nostalgic journey through some classic American tunes. From the swinging jazz of "Straighten Up and Fly Right" to the laid-back groove of "Get Your Kicks on Route 66", Cole's smooth vocals effortlessly guide us through each track with style and charm.

But it's not just about the music on this album - it's also about the journey. With each song transporting us to a different time and place, we can almost feel the wind in our hair and the sun on our faces as we cruise down that iconic highway. It's a testament to Cole's talent that he's able to capture the essence of the open road so effortlessly.

Of course, no review of a Nat King Cole album would be complete without mentioning his impeccable piano skills. His intricate finger work on tracks like "Route 66" and "You Can Depend on Me" is nothing short of mesmerising, showing off his virtuosity and technical prowess.

Overall, Route 66 is a joyful, toe-tapping ride through the golden age of American music. Cole's timeless voice and masterful musicianship make this album a must-listen for anyone who appreciates great music with a touch of nostalgia. So sit back, relax, and let Nat King Cole take you on a musical road trip you won't soon forget. Cheers to you, Nat!

About the artist

Nat King Cole

Nat King Cole, the smooth crooner with a voice as velvety as a fine Bordeaux, is a music legend that needs no introduction. Hailing from Montgomery, Alabama, this suave jazz pianist turned singing sensation has been serenading audiences worldwide since the 1940s. With his impeccable timing, exquisite phrasing, and unparalleled charm, Cole has solidified his place in the pantheon of music greats. But don't let his suave demeanor fool you - this cat had some serious chops. From swinging renditions of classic standards like "Unforgettable" and "L-O-V-E" to heartbreaking ballads like "Nature Boy," Nat King Cole could do it all. His honeyed tones have the power to transport you to a smoky jazz club, sipping on a cocktail and basking in the warmth of his voice. Despite facing racism and discrimination throughout his career, Cole never let it dampen his spirits or his music. He broke barriers as one of the first African-American artists to not only cross over into the mainstream, but to thrive in it. His influence can be heard in the work of contemporary artists like Gregory Porter and Norah Jones, who continue to carry on his legacy. So pour yourself a glass of something strong, dim the lights, and let Nat King Cole's timeless music wash over you like a gentle caress. His songs are like a warm embrace on a cold night, a reminder that in this crazy world, there's always room for a little bit of love and music. And with Nat King Cole at the helm, you're in good hands.
