CD Reviews
Uhhhhghhh.

"Did you love the old Slim Man? End of the Rainbow? Secret Rendezvous? Jazzified?I did.Well, I don't know what happened between those and this, but, it is not the same Slim Man. I was very disappointed. I could barely listen to it - some tracks are so embarrassingly bad I skipped to "next" - sour sax, off key vocals, no soul. Nothing moved me.Come on, Slim Man, get back to where you once were!A former fan, wanting more of that Original Slim Man magic.
This doesn't cut it."
What's the point?

"I don't get it.
Why did this guy put out a CD of mediocre renditions of classic songs?
To see himself on the cover with a bland blonde?
I really don't get it.
I LOVED his Christmas CD, so I expected this to be something like that.
Not. Not even close.I truly don't get it."
The Cheesy Cover Shot sums it up

"Save your money. The cheesy cover shot tells all as the visual lead-in to where this CD goes musically. Slim Man attempted to re-do some unforgettable great jazz classics, for better or for worse, and brought cheese to the party. So what you get is cheese. This one is just not swingin'. The sound is "nice" enough as in OK for a lounge act. But to take on the great ones like Nat King Cole - and to take it seriously . . . come on!! We're talking JAZZ here. . . . it's gotta MOVE me. And this pap don't. There are two original songs on the CD where Slim Man, instead of trying to be Nat King Cole, is trying to be Slim Man! - yet even on these, the passion is zilch. "Sweet Little Angel" gives a hint of great songwriting - but after the first verse and chorus, enough already - - get me outta here!!! As for the other original, the title track "For Now And Forever", pa-leeeeze. It's no "End of the Rainbow.""
Nothing to write home about

"The great songs: mediocre renditions. Original tunes: without originality.Next, next, next, you get the drift."
