About this item
Review
Re-recordings of an artist's own hits can be suspicious affairs, as if the artist in question had nothing new to say but just needed to make a marketing move. However, singer Jon lucien obviously still has a lot to express on these remakes of his most requested songs. This immensely enjoyable disc has a wonderfully natural sophistication about it, like a fifty-something suitor whose quiet worldliness carries far more charm than his youthful, noisier competition. Lucien wrote seven of the 11 tunes here and uses intimate, acoustic-guitar-based settings to communicate romance with intelligence as well as sensitivity. On "Song for My Lady," Lucien wraps his warm voice around the tune's yearning chord changes with inventive aplomb. He also contributes superb guitar work to the seductive "Luna mi Luna" and re-harmonizes "The Shadow of Your Smile" into a beautiful piece of balladry. Cliff Korman's synth chord voicings have a warm immediacy that sparkles in their interplay with Dan Carillo's colorful electric guitar, as on the jubilant "Soul Mate." One stunning moment occurs during an ingenious re-working of "The Sound of Music," when Lucien transforms the overworked Broadway anthem into a pulsating paean to life. A vibrant gift from an artist to his fans, By Request is one of the finest vocal sets of the year.
