It’s definitely not traditional folk music
The CD is equal parts country-rock, jazz, pop, swing, blues
and Americana, with tight arrangements and pleasing vocal
harmonies.
Six songs are humorous and the others provide poignant
moments that will resonate with people of all ages. The
clever lyrics and catchy music keep you tuned in.
Contributing musicians
The title track features Billy Novick’s jazzy clarinet riffs
weaving through Tim Ray’s nimble piano playing. Ray, a
longtime pianist for Lyle Lovett, has performed with Aretha
Franklin and Bonnie Raitt, and he really shines on this CD,
adding his dazzling keyboard work on two other tracks.
Other fine performances include Joe Kessler’s funky fiddle
licks on "That Old Car" and some nifty flute accompaniment
by Newman’s son Keith on "Reality Check."
Refreshing and fun
When You’re Happy strikes a nice balance between
lighthearted fun and the things that touch our deepest
emotions. The lyrics — and music — will keep you smiling
throughout.
