Editorial Review:Steve Tyrell, whose appearances in the two "Father Of The Bride" movies, and whose albums "A New Standard" and "Standard Time" established him as a premier contemporary interpreter of the Great American Songbook, now turns his attention to one of the legendary composers in all of pop music: Burt Bacharach. Steve has a personal stake in these classic songs. As a young man breaking into the record business in the 1960s, he became head of A&R and Promotion at Scepter Records, the history-making independent label that released the famous hits written by Bacharach and his lyricist partner Hal David, and recorded by the great Dionne Warwick. Tyrell was present at the creation of standards like "Walk On By," "Alfie," "I Say A Little Prayer," and many others. Moreover, he produced B.J. Thomas' Oscar-winning recording of Bacharach-David's "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head." One can only categorize Tyrell's performances on "Back To Bacharach" as definitive. His supporting cast includes the top session players on two coasts, as well as guest collaborators Herb Alpert, Patti Austin, Dionne Warwick, James Taylor, Rod Stewart, and Martina McBride. Steve's own singular vocal style, drenched in the Texas tones of his sophisticated R&B approach, is perfectly suited to these great hits. He sings the songs exactly the way everyone wants to hear them. To top it all of, Maestro Bacharach himself appears on three tracks as a performer and two as co-producer. Steve Tyrell's "Back To Bacharach" makes the case for adding Burt Bacharach to the roster of all-time great creators of the previous generation of American Songbook immortals---Porter, Gershwin, Berlin, Kern, and Ellington. And it does so with supreme style, taste, and expertise.

This is simply one of the best and most inviting albums I have heard in many a day. Tyler obviously loves Bacharach/David and that love shines in every selection. I didn't know Steve Tyler before I heard this CD, had never heard him sing anything. However, the moment I heard this album I knew without doubt it would become a perennial favorite of mine. If you love the work of Bacharach/David, and I do, then you'll like this. Just beautiful.

We found Tyrell on "Singers and Standards" on Comcast a couple of years ago and truly enjoyed his music. THEN we jumped at the chance to see him in concert at the Golden Nugget in Vegas (a 600 seat venue.) We had front row, center stage tickets. And that's when the fantasy ended for Tyrell. He reads the lyrics off of a computer screen set in front of him as if we were at some karaoke show. Sorry to say but his sport-coat (a faded navy blue) appeared to have been purchased 2nd hand from Good-Will. ... Read More

I was truly disappointed with this Steve Tyrell CD. It is his worst, by far.

This is a great CD. If you have not heard Steve Tyrell sing, you are in for a treat. If you have his standards albums, you already know what a great voice he has. The songs of Bacharach are wonderful. The musical arrangements are great, too. "What the World Needs Now" features Rod Stewart, Dionne Warwick, James Taylor, Martina McBride, and Burt Bacharach singing along with Steve. It's phenomenal! I highly recommend this CD!
