Amazon.com:
It's a couple thousand rough miles from Hazzard County to Broadway, and not very many have even attempted the trip. Twenty years after chasing the dusty TV back roads with Boss Hog in endless pursuit, Tom Wopat made a strong impression on Broadway opposite Bernadette Peters in Annie Get Your Gun. But what makes the unlikely journey of Wopat, the former Luke Duke himself, even more gratifying is this collection of pop standards. Though his voice may not have the operatic qualities one expects from a Broadway star, Wopat displays a jazz singer's mastery of its every husky quirk and breathy nuance. More importantly, he understands that songs have to be sold as well as sung, and he rises to the occasion on every cut. The choice of material is just as canny, a smoky late-evening turn through pop and Broadway standards that's reminiscent of Sinatra and Bennett's saloon songs in mood, though Wopat is clearly his own man here. Kudos are also due producer Russ Titleman and his arrangers, whose spare, understated backdrops frame Wopat's deceptively effortless readings to perfection. Life is full of surprises; this is a nice, sexy one. --Jerry McCulley

A very ,very nicely done performance by Mr. Wopat.
After one listen- it has not left the player.
His renditions of
Anyone Can Whistle / Lets Fall in Love / Baby It's Cold Outside are the best that I have heard.
This is a well-assembled, polished recording. The different song selections featuring many different musicians gives the listener a unique experience as if they are hearing these songs for the first time.
This recording just took me by surprize. ... Read More

I also saw him with Antonia on t.v. and bought the album. I was listening to it at work with headphones, a co-worker asked what I was listening to and I just gave her the headphones. She said, "Heaven!"

It is so Romantic, playful and wistful. His voice conveys that degree of sensitivity so irresistible in a strong man.I knew he could carry a tune from "Dukes", but who knew he could carry it so far? Certainly not I.
I don't understand how this CD could possibly be considered country? It truly is an amazing CD; so very expressive and heartfelt. I LOVED it!
A MUST HAVE for anyone with GOOD TASTE! A well cherished CD. I need more, please don't stop. 2,3 CD'S more would be grand... ... Read More

I was always hesitant about buying this cd when I'd stumble on it here on Amazon. That all changed when I saw him perform as Billy Flynn in the touring cast of Chicago. Tom Wopat has an amazing singing voice! Granted, he does not have a typical Broadway singing voice, what he does have is a lot of passion and strength. I'm recommending this cd to everyone I know. I was so impressed with him that I bought his cd at intermission. And being the great guy he is, he even autographed my cd in the lobby after the ... Read More

Ohhhh....I LOVE this CD and I never even knew who Tom Wopat was!
I was wowed when I saw him perform "Baby, It's Cold Outside" with Antonia Bennett on the "Today Show." We want more, Tom!
