It's no coincidence that Michael Buble's new album starts with just his voice and some fingersnaps on "The Best Is Yet to Come," a song made famous by Frank Sinatra. The Canadian smoothie looks longingly towards early-'60s Vegas, an impression quickly reinforced when a boisterous horn section makes its grand entrance, about 20 seconds into the track. That Buble means business is confirmed by the second cut, a fast-paced take on Henry Mancini's "It Had Better Be Tonight," and of course by the CD's very title, another song identified with Sinatra as his cockiest. There are just a few sidesteps from the retro formula that's served Buble so well so far: a languid duet with Brazilian star Ivan Lins on the bossa "Wonderful Tonight," a gospel choir on "That's Life." Interestingly, Buble co-wrote the best of those sidesteps, "Everything," a Norah Jones-esque number that alluringly harks back to sunny '70s pop. It's also the only song on the album produced by Bob Rock (best known for his work with Metallica), sending out a strong signal that Buble should reach out to unlikely collaborators more often. --Elisabeth Vincentelli More Music from Michael Buble

Album Description
Melding the contemporary and the classic in ways only he can, Michael Buble has created his most complete studio effort yet. Ranging from "I've Got The World On a String" to "Me and Mrs. Jones," in addition to two new songs co-written by Michael, Call Me Irresponsible makes this album irresistible.
Album Description
Japanese pressing of the crooner's 2007 album includes one bonus track, 'Love' . His first two studio albums went platinum and double platinum, and his rendition of Feeling Good sparked the song's return to standards status. Now Michael Buble offers his most complete studio effort yet, Call Me Irresponsible. Melding the contemporary and the classic way as only he can, the album ranges from I've Got The World On A String, That's Life and the title track to Leonard Cohen's I'm Your Man, Gamble & Huff's Me And Mrs. Jones, Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight and two new songs co-written by Michael. With Call Me Irresponsible, Michael Buble becomes irresistible. Warner.

The guy's got a lisp (pronounced lithp). Really...listen closely. Still, it's a fantastic cd.

I just like to comment on one track - "You Were Always On My Mind"! Yes! This track has been on my mind when I first took this album home months ago. Again, when Buble was on tour in Sydney last month - the arrangement and delivery of this number LIVE (!) was - Intimate yet level-headed, Tender yet Passionate, Flawless and yet vulnerable. It presses my first tear-duct button during the concert :)
I was absolutely indifferent, if not dislikening, the original version of this song, which was a country ballad (doesn't press any of my buttons). Then Pet Shop Boys made it worst with a high-camp techno-disco treatment to it in the late 80's. I saw disco mirror balls spinning, boys (!) on the dance floor; more lust than intimacy and heart felt romance. NEXT!
I believe I've learned a few muscial lessons from this track from Foster's confidently low-key arrangement and treatment of the song, and Buble's vocal delivery. (1) "Less is more" sometimes - The piano introduction, soft with a few notes in the higher registers sets the landscape of this romantic ballad. The slow strings, luxuriously warm double-bass, and the brush-drum kit made this a perfectly intimate encounter. (2) "Don't Rush, Tell the Story with you Heart" - I never get the stories and message of this song from the oringal and Pet Shop Boys' cover until this arrangement. Buble takes his time, word by word, phrase by phrase, telling the story. That IS the right tempo, the right heartbeat, when you are telling your love one that you really love him/her! (3) "Vocally articulate the story line with texture and feel" - There is no need to yell, no vocal acrobatic of vibratos. Michael's voice is full of texture and shades, tenderly, restfully, regretfully....
Best version of this song I've ever heard. Could be the last version.

What a fabulous voice Michael has. I could listen to him sing all day long. He compares easily with Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett.

Had a chance to listen to this CD by Michael Buble. Very disappointing . . . he is just a Sinatra imitator! He is NOT Frank Sinatra and never will be!
