Robert E. Person: Classic Covers

This 5 song ep by vocalist Robert E. Person makes you beg for an entire album. Person’s got a rich and earnest voice with a dash of the church in the aisle, as he takes on a rich collection of material teamed with a rhythm team of Allyn Johnson/p, Carroll Dashiell IIII/dr, Romeir Antonio Mendez/b and a string quartet. The urgent strings give support for a warm and embracing “People Make the World Go Round’ and the mix of piano with the quartet is bright for Person’s passionate “Sarah.” A chorus for “Love’s In Need of Love Today” gives a soulful gospel feel, with his Broadway tone working well on the heartfelt “I Give You Praise.” The closing “My Favorite Things” has the strings galloping along with Person to an exciting close. This guy hitting So Cal soon?
