About A Time To Remember

Product Description Celtic tenor John McDermott has "a way of reaching into your past with words that caress the back of your neck" (The Standard). His eagerly awaited new album is about memories, the circle of life, emotions, and common experiences--the things that bring us together. Seen on public television. (1 hour 18 minutes) Amazon.com John McDermott is known in America as one of the Irish Tenors, and is recognized as a bestselling solo artist in his native Canada. The songs on A Time to Remember were recorded for the PBS TV show of the same name, and because many of them appeared on his Canadian CDs, this collection has something of a greatest hits feel. McDermott's warm tenor and soothing manner is well-suited to sentimental favorites like "I’ll Be Seeing You," "As Time Goes By," and "The War Song Medley"--which includes such chestnuts as "Lili Marlene" and "The Roses of Picardy." But as good as he is on the pop songs, he really bares his heart when he sings the old Irish melodies. On his signature tune "Danny Boy," he skips the melodramatic delivery that most singers indulge in, opting instead for a subtle--and ultimately more moving--a cappella performance. John McDermott's blend of patriotism and sentimentality may be old-fashioned, but in today's world of disposable pop, this is a virtue rather than a liability. --Michael Simmons
