I always enjoy those special times of the year when D. C. Anderson comes to New York and I can once again enjoy his sweet, smooth vocals, his delightful songs, and his very droll cabaret personae. D.C. always seems to have a few songs in his show that make me laugh out loud - and a few that touch my heart.

His latest CD, "The Box Under The Bed" is a collection of D.C.'s favorites, and many of them are my favorites as well. With the very talented Lem Jay Ignacio at the piano, the arrangements are simple yet eloquent, never distracting from the songs.

There are a full 23 tracks on this CD - a measure of how difficult it must have been for Mr. Anderson to make his final selection of favorites for this recording. Only of a few of the 23 could possibly be called "standards." Many of them recall images of an era past - flower children, folk music, and a time less hurried. Some of the more lilting tunes will have you trying to sing along, even though you don't know the words! — CD Pick of the Week, Cabaret Hotline
