Steve Tyrell recalls the classic American vocalists such as Nat "King" Cole and Frank Sinatra. Tyrell doesn't sound like either, but he does shares their eclectic, all-inclusive musical approach. Tyrell is also influenced by jazz and classic/old-school R&B, and he's contributed music to movies (FATHER OF THE BRIDE, MYSTIC PIZZA). In addition, he worked for Scepter Records at the time of the classic Burt Bacharach/Hal David/Dionne Warwick recordings. So BACK TO BACHARACH, a tribute to the great '60s pop composer, is very much a return to Tyrell's roots. Tyrell's vocal style here draws upon jazz, blues, and pop, down-to-earth and sophisticated all at once, and very much in the Bacharach mode.
