As its title states, on this album
June Christy does indeed sing a lot of offbeat tunes, with the only standards being
Harold Arlen's "Out of This World," his "A Sleepin' Bee," and "You Say You Care."
Pete Rugolo's typically unusual and surprising arrangements inspire the singer and make this a fairly memorable (if not famous) outing.
Christy's renditions of "The Bad and the Beautiful" and "Out of the Shadows" also stick in one's mind. She was still very much in her prime during this period and her collaborations with
Pete Rugolo brought out the best in her voice and musical talents. ~ Scott Yanow
