I bought this originally because I wanted her cover of Glen Campbell's hit By the time I get to Phoenix, which is quite different to the original. I enjoy both versions in their different ways. Two Irving Berlin classics, There's no business like show business and Cheek to cheek, are also given new interpretations by Susannah.There are other classic songs from the Great American Songbook here too. They don't all get re-interpreted - Susannah's version of A fine romance is more or less standard, but maybe she realised that there was no way to improve on the original arrangement.It took a while for this album to grow on me, because Susannah has a style all her own, but I eventually realised just how talented she was and bought all her original albums. Susannah is not the kind of singer to sell in huge quantities, but she carved her own niche and her music has given me enormous pleasure.
