Doris Day recorded the material that comprises
With Love in 1968 but the tapes sat undisturbed for nearly 30 years, due to her move from singing toward television acting. Her son, record producer
Terry Melcher, discovered the tapes in her garage in the '90s and decided to release them. The end result is a mixed blessing. While
With Love is pleasant, it doesn't offer anything remarkable and often it only slightly raises above pedestrian jazz-pop. For completists, it's not a bad purchase, but only diehard fans will need to explore this belated release.
