So around the same time as our Mr M released NS II, James Taylor released his new album 'American Standards'.

Surprisingly, I just discovered this. What can I say it has been a busy year.

Anyway, link:

https://www.jamestaylor.com/american-standard/track-list/


while I have loved them both for forever, their styles are def different.
That said, I could totally see Mr M singing some of these songs.


In fact, Mr M has sung "Moon River", and I just listened to him sing it again and now I need to hurry up and finish this and go find the handsome hubs

(mine, not Mr M's.)

My sweet hubs has no idea how much Mr M has fueled our sexytimes. Mr M is to girls what Viagra is to guys, am I right ladies? anyway, that'll stay our little secret here at alt.fan)


Returning to topic...from the JT tracklist:

My Blue Heaven
Almost Like Being in Love
The Nearness of You
My Heart Stood Still

and maybe
It's Only A Paper Moon

I could totally see Mr M knocking these out of the park.

I find it curious that as performers get older they seem to turn to the old standards, and I can't help but wonder why that is.

now let's have another listen to Mr M sing 'Moon River'...and...good night

It's only a papermoon is one of my favorites. After reading a Streetcar named desire in college (or high school I don't remember) it stuck with me, I'd love to hear Barry sing it.

I think the standards albums have a lot to do with their record companies. Kind of a "hey, you haven't put anything new out lately, do this!"

So Annie, you fantasise over a gay man when you are having sex with your husband. God you're weird. And also sick. Get some therapy.
