Duets: An American Classic is the latest Easy Listening CD put out by the highly talented Tony Bennett who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I'm confident Tony Bennett fans, and Easy Listening fans alike will be pleased with this one.
Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Easy Listening music fans will recognize some of the well known contributors on the project including Elton John, John Legend, and Michael Buble plus a few other notables as well.
If you're even mildly into Easy Listening music you'll enjoy this album. Overall Duets: An American Classic is an outstanding release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 7, The Good Life. Good stuff!
