Cliff Richard - Bold As Brass - Live In London 2010
© 2010 Balladeer Limited
Accompanied by a swing band, see Cliff as never before as he sings some of the hits from his illustrious 52 year career. Following his solo 50th Anniversary concerts in 2008, and his reunion tour with The Shadows in 2009/10, this special 70th birthday show presented to his fans yet another dimension of Cliff's remarkable musical versatility!
Released three days before his 70th birthday, Bold as Brass is Cliff Richard's 33rd full-length studio album from a career spanning an incredible six decades. Bold as Brass is his first entirely solo release since 2004's critically acclaimed Something's Goin' On. Surprisingly for an artist who has previously tackled everything from rock & roll to disco, from contemporary R&B this was something new.
This 2010 Concert is the first time he's focused on the swing classics of the Great American Songbook. Bold as Brass was six sold-out shows at London's Royal Albert Hall, Bold as Brass is a collection of '40s and '50s classics which finally realized Cliff's life-long ambition to record the Rat Pack standards he grew up with. The show was produced by Armenian-American Michael Omartian. Bold as Brass is an endearing collection of songs which, if nothing else, proves that more than 50 years into his career, Cliff Richard wasn't afraid to tackle something outside his comfort zone. Enjoy the diversity of songs on offer.
