Steve Dooks - Cocktails, Heartaches and Cigars - CD

(Steve Dooks) Steve Dooks has that cool Vegas lounge singer thing going on here. While his voice might not be as smooth as someone like Harry Connick Jr., Steve could still hold his own with many of the other singers of this genre. There are two things about this release that help it to stand out above the rest. One is that all the songs are original, but for the most part come across as time tested standards. Two is that he infuses different styles into mix of songs on this release. The title cut "Cocktails, Heartaches and Cigars" is all about bouncy hep-cat swing.
