Touching favorites from yesterday and today are the basis of this album of solo piano music from Steve Hall. With his elegant, straightforward style, Hall breathes new life into classic pop songs and soundtrack hits, like "Sailing," "The Rainbow Connection," "Time in a Bottle" and themes from "Lord of the Rings," "On Golden Pond" and "Gone With the Wind." In the liner notes, Hall explains that many of these songs were chosen with nostalgia in mind. As such, the album will strike a personal chord with listeners and is easily his most intimate collection to date. His piano skills are as impressive as ever, eschewing un-necessary musical filigree in favor of arrangements that are simple and faithful to the source material.
