“Here’s a blue-chip collection... Philip Chaffin has one of those warm, sophisticated voices that call to mind the finer products of Kentucky’s distilleries. Match him up with the dry, witty, bitters-flavoured lyrics of the masterful Dorothy Fields, shake with a 23-piece orchestra and you’ve got a cocktail to cherish. “I’ll Buy You a Star” will bring you to tears; “You’re a Lovable Lunatic” will make you grin ear to ear. All classy stuff.” - Toronto Star
