Gently Swingin' - Earl Grant

Sunny
Gently Swingin'
Earl Grant
Decca Records DL 74937
1968

This album seems like a rush job for Decca. Many tracks are total lounge in nature and play almost as if Grant and the band didn't have the time to practice as a group.

Other tracks, including the one advertised on the jacket, Alfie, play as if they were recorded for another project.

None-the-less, in the mix, you get a few good Grant covers, the fun cheesecake cover and lounge tracks that dish up a nice 60s vibe.

  1. This is "Sunny", not "Walk On By". Nice anyway, though. Thanks.
