Danny Couch is by inclination and repertoire a pop balladeer. An album of pop standards -- most of them songs that pre-date the start of the rock era in 1955 -- is a perfect fit in all respects. Couch doesn't only distinguish himself as the exquisite voice of this project, however. Working with Pierre Grill as co-producer and co-arranger, he makes good use of a small team of studio musicians in adding texture in places other artists might use synth tracks. Rocky Holmes on reeds, Bryan Tolentino on ukulele and Jimmy Funai on guitar all make important contributions. Grill presides on piano, and that's Couch himself on drums and most of the other percussion instruments. And then there's the voice. Couch has never seemed more in command of his material. He brings each song to life -- singing the emotions rather than the words alone -- and does justice to them all. Each seems more beautiful than the other, although "When I Fall in Love," "What Kind of Fool Am I" and "People" are particularly beautiful.
