For whatever it's worth: I really enjoy this CD. I have the US version with the 14 tracks. The vocals really shine on this release and the arrangements are really "classic"! I really wonder if Steamroller Blues is from the 14th. To me it sounds more like the crispier version from the 12th ??

Yes, bajo, "Steamroller Blues" is actually from the 12th, not the 14th as printed in the liner notes.
This cd is now #1 on the Billboard Classical Album Chart in the U.S. !

I had been looking forward to this release and was not disappointed. The track list was good but before getting the Cd I through Burning Love may be out of place, but boy was I wrong. Burning Love IMO is the best produced track on the Cd.
Now they've done classic tracks how about a follow up using c&w songs?
