Liza Minnelli - (Decca Records/Universal)
Confessions
Richard Burnett
American pop icon Liza Minnelli's rollercoaster career enjoys another high with this scaled-down jazzy album of intimate, piano-driven ballads, including her warm takes on standards from the American songbook, such as Peggy Lee's He's a Tramp and Irving Berlin's I Got Lost in His Arms. Working with her long-time accompanist, pianist Billy Stritch, this elegant and sophisticated old-school vocal album shows that while Minnelli - now 64 - isn't the singer she used to be, she's still an original.
