Synopsis

Description
Musically, Ronnie Milsap is one of the few country-based singers who has a deep appreciation and knowledge of American standards. He grew up with them; he didn't have to "learn them." Ronnie knows the songs and interprets them wonderfully. A "standard" is a song that will never go away... the "standards" started in the late '20s and '30s and are "remembered" songs through the years...a "standard" is timeless and meaningful...a "standard" has become a fabric of our musical heritage...a "standard" has achieved greatness on many levels of sales and recognition...a "standard" is forever...a "standard" will never know an end...a "standard" is like an old wine, it gets better with age. This project is perfectly timed for Ronnie's audience...old and new. Songs include: I Don't Want Nobody To Have My Love But You, Teach Me Tonight, Cry, Make Believe Medley (Make Believe, I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter), Bewitched, Haunted Heart, But I Do, Since I Fell For You, Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye, But Not For Me, In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning, Just For A Thrill, My Funny Valentine, My Babe.

CD Reviews

Hope he gets the Grammy...
M. CUNNINGHAM | Columbia, MD | 12/28/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is a major departure from Ronnie Milsap's long list of country hits. The good news is... his voice has never sounded better. I love the brassy, big-band accompaniment on "I Don't Want Nobody to Have my Love but You" and "My Babe." Just like he does on all his country love songs, Milsap brings true romance to songs like "Teach Me Tonight."

I understand this CD is up for a Grammy. I hope Ronnie Milsap wins!"
Album Not 'Just A Thrill,' It's a Pleasure!
Jolene Downs | United States | 12/16/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"'Just For A Thrill' is an album that has been 15 years in the making. Some have said it is Ronnie's best work to date. This album is a selection of some of Ronnie's favorite songs from the American Standards. He had been compiling hundreds of songs, just waiting for the opportunity to record an album. That dream became a reality and the long-awaited album was released to incredible reviews in September of 2004. Some old favorites that can be found are "Cry," "Bewitched," "Haunted Heart" and "But Not For Me" along with 10 other terrific songs. It was recorded live in the studio with the full instrumental backup. No pre-recorded parts that have been pieced together for the final cut. Even those that normally won't listen to this style of music will love this album with Ronnie's distinctive voice and style making it a pleasure to listen to."
A Big Band Spectacular
John E. Pennington, Jr. | Knoxville, TN United States | 12/15/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Ronnie's smooth voice accompanied by the great arrangements of some of the finest orchestras in America make this a classic recording. This album was produced by Rob Galbraith, and when

Milsap teams up with Galbraith the result is always spectacular.

If you like standards and big band sound, this one's for you.
