Cry Me a River
A love song. Is there anything that can
touch the heart in the way a piece of music about love found
or lost is able to? And when you take a wildly diversified assortment
of those creations and then experience them as interpreted by
a gorgeous voice, well, it doesn't get much better than that,
and Mark Kershner's Cry Me a River is a musical experience that
touches the heart over and over and over.
Using his intensely inviting baritone-tenor to survey a collection
that moves effortlessly from classic standard to pop hit to the
silver screen and Broadway, Kershner creates an album of delights
that range from a passionate How Deep Is the Ocean? and romantic
The Look of Love to joyfully playful When You're in Love and
charming music hall-ish You're the Cream In My Coffee to a three-beat
resetting of Here, There and Everywhere and clarion take on Sting's
Fields of Gold. His self-penned (with Peggy Lee) Maybe I'm In
Love Again is a heartwarming stunner, and he brings a bruised
honesty to the title track.
