John Hollenbeck - Songs We Like a Lot (2015)

How to follow-up a Grammy-nominated album disarmingly called Songs I Like a Lot? By broadening the canvas and releasing Songs We Like a Lot, of course. John Hollenbeck returns after the triumph of Songs I Like a Lot, accompanied again by vocalists Kate McGarry and Theo Bleckmann, and pianist Uri Caine, with an expanded palette and even more robust sonic transformations, encompassing everything from Burt Bacharach to the poetry of Kenneth Patchen, from Cyndi Lauper to a deconstructed version of Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky.' A combination of indelible pop tunes and his own compositions, Songs We Like a Lot is propelled throughout by Hollenbeck s creative arrangements for the Frankfurt Radio Bigband.
