Album DescriptionAs we listen to ?éclectique,? we can immediately imagine ourselves in an intimate, candle-lit, cabaret-style bistro, hearing familiar, tuneful songs, sung in French and English by American (or is he French?) Don Sheppard. We are struck by the individual musical personality each song has been given by creative musical arranger and accompanist, Khris Dodge. These eclectic song personalities run the gamut from passionately romantic... to pensive and reflective... to playful and whimsical. The romantic, easy listening mood created allows us to relax, unwind, and drift effortlessly along with the music. The ebb and flow in the mixture of the two languages offers a opportunity for an almost hypnotic, relaxing effect on the listener.
