Our Take

Andy Williams, the crooner with a voice as smooth as a glass of single malt whiskey, has captured the hearts of listeners for decades. His album "The Essential Early Recordings" chronicles his early rise to fame, showcasing a charming blend of pop, jazz, and easy listening.

From the moment the opening track hits your ear drums, you're transported to a bygone era filled with velvet suits, pompadours, and swooning fans. Williams' velvety vocals glide effortlessly over lush arrangements, offering a time capsule of music that is both nostalgic and timeless.

Tracks like "Moon River" and "Can't Get Used to Losing You" showcase Williams' ability to convey emotion with a simple yet powerful delivery. His interpretations of classic standards feel fresh and invigorating, drawing listeners in with their undeniable charm.

While some may dismiss Williams as a relic of the past, this album proves that his talent is as relevant today as it was in his heyday. His music continues to resonate with audiences of all ages, proving that good music truly knows no bounds.

In a world filled with auto-tuned pop stars and manufactured personas, Andy Williams reminds us of the power of pure talent and undeniable charisma. "The Essential Early Recordings" is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates music that is both soulful and sophisticated. Cheers to you, Mr. Williams, for proving that old school cool never goes out of style.

With a career spanning over six decades, this crooner has serenaded audiences with his smooth vocals and timeless charm. Born in Wall Lake, Iowa in 1927, Williams first made a name for himself as part of the iconic Williams Brothers Quartet. However, it was his solo career that truly catapulted him to fame, with hits like "Moon River" and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" becoming staples of the easy listening genre. Williams' music is characterized by its lush orchestral arrangements, velvety vocals, and a touch of old-school Hollywood glamour. His effortless ability to capture the essence of romance and nostalgia in his music has endeared him to fans of all ages. But don't let his smooth exterior fool you - Williams was known for his cheeky sense of humour and quick wit, often charming audiences with his witty banter on stage.

Sadly, Williams passed away in 2012, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and delight music lovers around the world. His music remains as timeless and enchanting as ever, a soothing balm for the soul in these turbulent times. So next time you're in need of some musical comfort, put on an Andy Williams record and let his velvet tones transport you to a bygone era of elegance and romance.
