The Classics (Tony Bennett) | 3/5
SINGAPORE - The tags on the cover let you know that (a) the tracks here have all been remastered, (b) this is the Asia Tour Edition of the album and (c) it features a duet with Wang Lee Hom (or Lee Hom Wang, depending on which side of the naming fence you’re on) called If I Ruled The World. About half of the album is made up of the actual classics - meaning the original recordings made by Tony Bennett back in those heady days of yore; and the rest of the album is populated by tracks from his successful latter-day Duets album series, with appearances by Lady Gaga, John Mayer, Juanes, Diana Krall and others. Should you get this? Only if you want to hear all your favourite Bennett tracks in one easy package.
