Info for Bolton Swings Sinatra (Remastered)

International superstar Michael Bolton has taken on another extraordinary challenge with Bolton Swings Sinatra. The collection finds him singing classics like "New York, New York," "Night and Day," "My Funny Valentine," "Fly Me to the Moon," "Girl From Ipanema" and "That's Life," and bringing in special guest Nicollette Sheridan for a duet on "The Second Time Around."

"For years I've kept a list of dream projects," Bolton notes. "At the top of that list was an album of songs made famous by Frank Sinatra."

Supervising the arrangements and orchestrations down to the last note, he's created an affectionate, dynamic tribute to some of the greatest recordings of the 20th century. The result will be a revelation even for longtime fans - passionate, playful, boisterous, intimate and everything in between; Bolton Swings Sinatra is a dazzling pairing of singer and material.

"It's such an honor to have an opportunity to work with Michael Bolton," said Glen Barros, president of Concord Music Group. "Like all of his great recordings, it's clear that he's put his heart and soul into this incredible project. I'm sure it will resonate with his millions of fans and, in addition, attract an enormous group of new ones."

Fired up by a spectacular big band of what he calls "A-plus musicians," including 17 horns and 35 string players, and working with top-flight arrangments and audio technicians in the legendary Capitol studios where the Chairman of the Board and countless other icons have put down tracks, Bolton went to work on a batch of songs he'd loved since childhood.

He was strongly aided in this endeavor by co-producer Alex Christensen, arranger Chris Walden and engineer-mixer Al Schmitt, the latter a veteran of many Sinatra sessions, among other famed recordings. "They're brilliant," Bolton asserts of these aural architects. "They helped make everyone feel happy - the players loved the creative environment. Al's like the doctor who's delivered 200 of the most famous babies in the world," he adds, referring to Schmitt's extraordinary track record in the studio, which has earned him 15 Grammy trophies.

"So it's come to this: a Bolton record taking a page from Rod Stewart's successful career reinterpreting the American classics, which really isn't something new because Bolton's been doing it his whole career -- Stewart just had a brief phase to cash in on an aging baby boomer market that used to think he was sexy. Nevertheless, this is a treat for Boltheads to savor: a 12-song tribute to Ol' Blue Eyes from one of the late 20th century's most successful adult crooners. It's a session of well-polished, by-the-numbers renditions of some of Frankie's most well-loved anthems, including a duet with fiancée/Desperate Housewife Nicolette Sheridan. Bolton doesn't break any new ground here, but his consistent vocal stylings are comforting and resonate just as well as they did nearly two decades ago, when his pop career launched him into the stratosphere."
