Liner Notes:
There is a quality common to most fine singers that makes us feel we can sing as effortlessly, as smoothly, as convincingly as they do. The melodic reverberations that bounce around our tubs and showers are very misleading. Outside those cosy confines, our talent is reduced to its realistic capacities...but the fine singer is never diminished. Chris Montez probably sounds pretty good in the shower--but what happens in the recording booth is something else...The sound is unique, individual...a premier sound of casual discipline, effortless phrasing and contemporary good humor, blended with Nick DeCaro's sparkling arrangements, Chris wails through a broad spectrum of songs and in this album he shows the exceptional balance and taste that make up his repertoire: the smoothness of the tender ballads, the enthusiasm of the up-beat numbers and the honesty of his musical approach. Perk up your ears now and enjoy this exciting new recording from a talent that sounds better out of a shower stall. You'll play it time after time.
