Tony Bennett
Apr 18, 2011
To follow up his Grammy winning "Tony Bennett Duets: An American Classic" CD, and to celebrate his 85th birthday, Tony Bennett will release another CD full of duets with some of today's biggest artists called, "Tony Bennett: Duets II." Along with an eclectic mix of artists joining him on the new duets CD are Country artists Faith Hill, Willie Nelson, and Carrie Underwood.
"I love the Great American songbook and have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to introduce many of these songs to the public...It is a thrill to perform them once again with artists that I admire to create new interpretations of the music I love so much," says Bennett.
All of the artists involved with the "Duets II" album recorded live in the studio with Bennett. Those studio sessions were filmed by Academy award winning cinematographer Dion Beebe, who will release them as a documentary in conjunction with the CD.
"Tony Bennett: Duets II" will be available on September 20th.
