Description: Apparently, Swing When You're Winning was inspired by the praise Robbie Williams received for his contribution to the soundtrack for Bridget Jones's Diary. Recorded with an 18-piece band in Frank Sinatra's old stomping grounds, the Capitol Records Studio in Los Angeles, this collection of finger-snappin', Rat Pack standards and new material features plenty of guest collaborations, such as the much-hyped Nicole Kidman effort on Sinatra's "Something Stupid." The tracks reflect the karaoke sessions of Williams's childhood in Stoke-on-Trent, England, and have been given the full "tribute" treatment, with no funny business going on in the production to take away from their classic appeal. There's never been any doubt that Williams sees himself as an entertainer in the most traditional sense of the word (not to mention as a bit of a swinger), and his old-time-crooner fantasies are certainly given free rein to charm the pants off us all on this classy album. --Ruby Tuesday

Chutzpah!

OK. I didnt even know who Robbie Williams was till I saw De-Lovely (hey, I cant keep up on everything!), but give me credit for spotting a good looking hunk with talent when I see one! I figured I'd check this out first after seeing the movie and its a gas! He covers many of the Rat Pack hits (Sinatra, Dino, Davis, Bobby Darin) and brings it off surprisingly well. You get Porter, Rodgers and Hart, Sammy Cahn, Gerswhin, Weill and many other standards sung with a full orchestra and great arrangements. There are duets with Nicole Kidman (subbing for Nancy on Somethin' Stupid); Jane Horrocks; Jon Lovitz(!);Rupert Everett (LOL! What's going on in this song?) and his flatmate and best mate (??). Even Old Blue Eyes shares some verses with him on It Was A Very Good Year. Only Mr. Bojangles seems a misfire. I give this 4 1/2 stars. You'll have a great time!

oh robbie

robbie williams is a fantastic singer and has a great future ahead of him but this album to me was a real set back for him. he took on the roll of a jazzy pop singer and it unfortunatly was not, in my eyes, a good look for the robster. a good album but for robbie's voice it was not the best look for this man. sorry.

well well well

Goooooooood is the only word! old time music...good for cocktails...great choice of songs.....beyound the sea...yeah ! XA
