Description:

AOR legend Michael Franks is making a big splash with the release of his first album in seven years, "The Music In My Head. This is a very timely collection of covers by Rio Sidran, the son of Ben Sidran and a popular jazzy pop singer/songwriter in his own right, that should be listened to in conjunction with this album. With the support of top musicians such as Ricky Peterson (kyd) and Michael Leonhardt (tr), who is related to Steely Dan, Sidran has created a superb selection of songs ranging from classics such as "Antonio's Song," "Monkey See Monkey Do," and "The Lady Wants to Know" to more familiar favorites. The best selection of songs covers everything from classics such as "Antonio's Song," "Monkey See Monkey Do," and "The Lady Wants to Know. While maintaining the intelligence and sophistication of the originals, Rio's arrangements are flexible and colorful, and are superb.
