Album of the Day

CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE may have been the name of Michael Bublé's fifth studio set but successful seems a better description for the Canadian crooner; the 2007 Reprise collection topped the chart and earned a Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. While Sinatra-era standards like the title track are clearly a favorite of the performer, Bublé's supple voice and easygoing manner lend themselves to material that goes far beyond big band swing. Among the surprising – but effective – choices here are covers of Leonard Cohen's “I'm Your Man,” Eric Clapton's “Wonderful Tonight” and '70s soul favorite “Me and Mrs. Jones” (there is also a pair of fine originals in “Lost” and “Everything”). The Deluxe Edition of the platinum-selling CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE includes a terrific version of the Milt Gabler-Bert Kaempfert classic “L-O-V-E.”
