"Your Songs" is such a classic Harry Connick, Jr. style selection of music. He usually chooses songs that have a jazzy feel to it and is of the oldies but goodies world. Though I am a fan of his, I just didn't feel that this was original in any way. It just sounds like all of his other CDs. I loved walking down memory lane with some of the songs he chose. I especially liked "Besame Mucho" from one of my favorite movies of all time (Great Expectations) and "The Way You Look Tonight" from another favorite movie of mine (My Best Friend's Wedding). Although I appreciate listening to some classic songs of some of the greatest artists of all time, I just wish he could branch out more and make his OWN music. But then again, I wouldn't mind him singing "Oh Danny Boy" like he did on another favorite movie of mine (Memphis Belle). Can't you tell I love movies?
