Thanks to McRae's endlessly-imitated gift for phrasing and the sharp orchestral direction of Ralph Burns, this is one record that's hardly (just) for the birds. The album pairs McRae’s poised, expressive delivery with lush, sophisticated orchestration on standards \"Bye Bye Blackbird,\" \"Skylark\" and \"When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano,\" all of which balance swing and mood with aplomb and prove McRae was hardly ever just winging it on record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"accordion\"\u003e\u003cinput id=\"handle1\" name=\"collapse\" type=\"checkbox\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"handle\"\u003e\u003clabel for=\"handle1\"\u003eTracklist \u0026amp; Credits - 1LP\u003c\/label\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_tracklist\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracklist\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkylark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBob White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMister Meadowlark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBye Bye Blackbird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlamingo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Eagle And Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaltimore Oriole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen The Red, Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChicken Today And Feathers Tomorrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen The Swallows Come Back To Capistrano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHis Eye Is On The Sparrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_credits\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Verve Vault series is all-analog, cut from the original master tapes by Ryan K.
