Michael Buble ranks among the best of the contemporary crooners working in a classic pop-vocal style, and his 2007 album, CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE, further refines his suave, smooth style. With its finger-snapping big band arrangements, the album ... Full Descriptionhas its share of homage to Frank and Dino, both obvious cornerstones of Buble's music. But this isn't merely a retro exercise; the tunes, the production, and the overall feel are decidedly contemporary.
Stylistically adventurous versions of songs by Eric Clapton, Leonard Cohen, and Willie Nelson keep things lively, while "Everything," a Buble original, is one of the album's highlights. Still, cuts like the lead-off track ("The Best Is Yet to Come") and the old chestnut "I've Got the World on a String" will give listeners looking for some elegant, back-in-the-day pizzazz exactly that.Down Beat (p.76) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "This CD is best when Buble wraps himself around the brass and reeds of a straight-up big band....John Hamilton and David Foster also provide a few high spots."
JazzTimes (p.91) - "[Buble] suggests the caramel-smooth creaminess of Steve Lawrence, the sensual warmth of Vic Damone, the swingin' bravura of Dean Martin and the boyish showmanship of Wayne Newton."

Right off the bat, Michael Buble has you in his corner just because you know people have been calling the poor guy "Bubble" all his life (keep that accent on the second syllable, folks). Nomenclature aside, Buble's debut album positions him as something of a Harry Connick, Jr. for the 21st century. His husky croon gives him a bearing beyond his tender years, and in fact his Sinatra-phrased, pop-jazz style bears strong echoes of Connick's singing. Accordingly, the production leans heavily on the updated swing of chestnuts like "Fever" and "Come Fly With Me," but that's only part of the story.
As a modern song stylist, Buble digs into the standards of a more contemporary songbook as well. George Michael's jazzy ballad "Kissing a Ballad" has been a standard-in-waiting for some time, and a version of the Bee Gees' soulful ballad "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" features a guest turn by Barry Gibb himself. And there are worse things that could happen to Stevie Wonder's "For Once in My Life" ...

Call Me Irresponsible CD music
$17.45
Michael Buble's third major US release (including the mostly live COME FLY WITH ME) stays on message--this young Canadian loves the lush, swaying music of his parents' and grandparents' generations. Buble's albums, however, are much more than mere back-in-the-day exercises. The production and arranging of David Foster (Celine Dion, Josh Groban) is eclectic in a way that firmly places the tunes at the dawn of the 21st century, and, more importantly, Buble possesses the chops and sense of style to re-imagine the adult-contemporary vocal genre in a distinctive manner. In addition to standards by Gershwin and Porter, Buble embraces a variety of sounds, from Motown ("How Sweet It Is") to bossa nova ("Quando, Quando, Quando" with Nelly Furtado) to the Beatles ("Can't Buy Me Love" with a "She Loves You" tag). With his smooth croon and charming persona, Buble is a natural performer, and, for fans of fearlessly romantic and infectiously swinging music, IT'S TIME is a sure bet.
Import version of this out-of-print in the US Special Edition. Young crooner Michael Buble delivers an album of love songs as powerful as chocolate and candlelight. From covers such as Ray Charles' You Don't Know Me' to 'Home', penned by Buble and Amy Foster-Gillies, the album is a romantic treat. With total sales of his CDs and DVDs in the U.S. well over 1 million units, plus ...

The soundtrack to MICHAEL is sort of a followup to the phenomenally successful PHENOMENON soundtrack, which came out five months earlier. Both movies starred John Travolta as agents of God, and both soundtracks feature a mix of old and new "adult alternative" artists.
John Hiatt, covered by Jewel on PHENOMENON, is represented once again, this time by Don Henley covering "Through Your Hands." Hiatt's friend Bonnie Raitt checks in with a cover of Randy Newman's "Feels Like Home," and Newman himself duets with Valerie Carter on "Heaven ...

Call Me Irresponsible Music Review Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)  Smooth and Cool
This CD is awesome!! I love the range of songs he performs on this album. He goes from the groovy track 'Everything' to a Bossa Nove in 'Comin' Home Baby' and a Latin in "It had Better Be Tonight". He has also done some great covers of the old jazz classics. Michael Buble you star!! JAZZ LIVES ON!!

I've always loved singers...the ones you never forget, like Sinatra, Bennett, with that big band sound. Michael's keepin' that alive, but in a very modern way. He's a very versatile guy, going from brash up-tempo big-band arrangements to beautiful ballads. I keep listening to this album over and over...and it never gets old. It's fresh, hip, and a great tribute to the greats who inspire Michael...and he's returning the favor.

Amazing cd, with beautiful renditions on classic songs. I love the duet with Boys 2 Men on "Comin' Home Baby". I haven't heard anything from Boys 2 Men in a long time, so it was refreshing to hear them team up Michael Buble for an amazing song. This cd is top notch... Everyone should pick it up anyway they can!!!

Just when it seems like Buble can't top his last c.d,he does it and he does it well!!!My favorite song was his remake of Wonderful Tonight with Ivan Lins.It was better than the original done by Clapton!If for no other reason,listen to this disc and understand why people love to listen to him.It would be good in the future if he sings with Peter Cincotti or Jane Monheit again.

Another great offering from Michael Buble. Don't hesitate to add to your collection. If you've never heard Michael Buble before this is a great introductory to his voice. If you like songs like "I've Got The World On A String", "Call Me Irresponsible", or "Dream" this is the CD for you!!!
Don't be irresponsible and deny yourself a great CD!!
