The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit Show - A musical mid-life crisis -- a late-night search for meaning and happiness airs on WRIR LP Monday nights from 9 PM to 11 PM. Stream the show @ www.wrir.org
Hey Listeners,
Tonight weâll be exploring recent interpretations of the great American Songbook. I decided to do this tonight after reading the latest No Depression magazine that recently arrived in the mail. Itâs always a great read, but I especially enjoyed this quarterâs edition with lots of different stores about songs we often refer to as standards.
It also seemed like good timing because Willie Nelsonâs new release of âstandardsâ recently dropped (and weâll kick-off the show with the title track) and it is the 40th anniversary of Carly Simonâs record, Torch, that was one of the first albums by a contemporary artist looking back on the great American songbook.
Funny coincidence â 6 years ago -almost to the day (3/3/15) I did another show to celebrate this great treasure trove of songs to celebrate Bob Dylanâs Shadows in the Night release. This was his first of 3 releases to feature standards and songs associated with Frank Sinatra.
So sit back and enjoy. Let some of Americaâs greatest tracks soothe you. Soak up the nostalgia.
