The Essential Andy Williams [Bonus Disc]

by Andy Williams

Overview

This 24-track collection from Sony features some of the velvet-voiced crooner's biggest hits, including "Moon River," "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," "Born Free," "Where Do I Begin?," and "Can't Get Used to Losing You." While it's by no means comprehensive (key Williams cuts like "Butterfly," "Days of Wine and Roses," "Dear Heart," and "In the Arms of Love" are nowhere to be found), The Essential Andy Williams offers up a nice window into a career that saw 45 songs break into the Billboard Top 100. [A bonus disc added 12 tracks.] ~ James Christopher Monger
