Michael Bublé is one of the few modern adult contemporary/easy listening singers I enjoy. I like plenty of the older ones, so I'm not sure why the newer crop rarely connects with me, but there you have it. I finally got around to picking up the standards singer's latest album, Call Me Irresponsible, at the merch table at his show.
It's another very solid album from Bublé. Two original songs are included, "Everything" and "Lost." One song he does I like a lot is "It Had Better Be Tonight," which is adapted from "Meglio stasera" from The Pink Panther. I first became familiar with this song in a version by John Gary and fell in love with it. Really, I can't complain about the way he does any of the songs present on this album. High quality renditions, one and all.
Tracks:
1. The Best Is Yet to Come
2. It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio stasera)
3. Me and Mrs. Jones
4. I'm Your Man
5. Comin' Home Baby (with Boyz II Men)
6. Lost
7. Call Me Irresponsible
8. Wonderful Tonight (with Ivan Lins)
9. Everything
10. I've Got the World on a String
11. Always on My Mind
12. That's Life (Siedah Garrett is among the folks providing additional vocals on this one)
13. Dream

Set list: Michael Bublé
Michael Bublé, without a doubt, put on one of the best shows I've ever seen. The man is an amazing vocalist and entertainer. I can't even begin to describe just how awesome he was live, but I would love another chance to see him.
The opening act was an a cappella group called Naturally Seven. Their set list, perhaps minus a song or two since I was a tad late to be seated (merch table trip):
1. Broken Wings
2. Say You Love Me
3. Sounds of Silence / Scarborough Fair / April Come She Will
4. In the Air Tonight
And Bublé's set:
1. I'm Your Man
2. It Had Better Be Tonight
3. Me and Mrs. Jones
4. Friends in Low Places chorus / Fever
5. A line from Rehab intro'ed Call Me Irresponsible
6. Try a Little Tenderness ... only he pretended to play trombone while the actual trombonist, Nick, did the song
7. I've Got the World on a String
8. You'll Never Know
9. You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You (which will be on his new album)
10. Lost
11. Feelin' Good
12. Home ... as a duet with Blake Shelton
13. Everything
14. That's All Right (Mama)
15. YMCA
16. Save the Last Dance for Me
17. How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)
18. That's Life (with Naturally Seven)
Encore
19. Crazy Little Thing Called Love
20. A Song for You
