New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Grammy Award-winner and two-time Emmy nominee Steve Tyrell has remastered his classic Back to Bacharach album and has added seven new songs. The expanded 21-track edition is by New Design Records and Warner Brother's East/West Records.
The release celebrates both the album's tenth anniversary and the 90th birthday of music legend Burt Bacharach-who Tyrell worked closely with and credits as one of his most profound influences. It features seven never-before-released bonus tracks. See below for full expanded track list and guest vocalists, which include Bacharach himself, Dionne Warwick,Rod Stewart,
James Taylor, Herb Alpert,
Patti Austin and Martina McBride.
Tyrell says, "In many ways, this is my most personal album. I have been asked many times, 'where did you go to college?'" Starting his career at the age of 19 in New York City with Scepter Records, he always answers with the same response, "I'm a graduate of Bacharach University!'
The release follows last winter's A Song For You, which hit the #1 spots on both SoundScan and Billboard's Traditional Jazz Album Charts. Tyrell will perform songs from both releases on his upcoming tour dates-see below for details.
Tyrell has spent nearly five decades as a songwriter, producer, music supervisor and vocalist. As producer he has created Grammy-winning hits for legends such as Rod Stewart,
Linda Ronstadt,
Aaron Neville, and
James Ingram, just to name just a few. Eleven of Tyrell's own albums have reached top-five status on Billboard's Jazz charts, with his most recent A Song For You hitting #1. He continually works to reinvent the American Standards Songbook and connect classic tunes to a modern audience, performing extensively with his band and with orchestras across the country and around the world-from the Hollywood Bowl to Carnegie Hall to Buckingham Palace. For over a decade Tyrell has held his acclaimed annual holiday residency at the famed Café Carlyle in New York City, in addition to a yearly residency at Monteverdi Tuscany in Italy.
Every Monday through Friday, Tyrell hosts "The Steve Tyrell Show" on KJAZZ 88.1 in Los Angeles.
