I have a Belgian friend (for all those non-EU folk, Belgium is next to France and has unspeakably good beer and desserts). He tells me that there is a town there called Hazebrook - which some people spell Hazebrouck. This depends on whether you are french or flemish-speaking (these are the two lang...

Hasbrook Heights
Has anyone else spotted this little gem hidden in the mists of Bacharachland?
Is it true that Bob James had a hand in it?

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I have a seven year old daughter who knows every word of Riverboat (although not exactly their meaning!). The whole song is so evocative - It's July on the river, 95 in the shade... - and Burt's trademark change of tempo works beautifully is this song, rather than...

Something Big, something different
Just sometimes the pretty stuff - Promises, Make It Easy, San Jose et al - gets tiresome. And so I turn to disc 3 from Something Big and there I find a collection of some quite remarkable jazz-instrumental tracks. Rarely mentioned, wholly understated. Just listen to the genuinely uplifting "An...

silly question 5
A teaser for all you Bacharachians out there.
Who knows of a recording, concert or occasion when Sinatra ever sang a Bacharach song?
Was it any good?

Shouldn't be a Burt song
Here's a new challenge for everyone: name a Burt song that really shouldn't be?
Perhaps one that doesn't sound like him, or just not up to scratch?
I'll nominate "Heartlight" - not a hint of Burt in there.

"What's In Goodbye"
Burt played the Royal Albert Hall in Kensington, London in 2002 and a certain Will Young was a guest vocalist. Will was an early winner of one of those find-a-star TV shows, but to his credit has an exceptional voice. Burt wrote him a song which they premiered at that concert - What's In Goodbye - ...
