Sometimes the most refreshing updates of familiar standards come from
the most unexpected sources, and that's certainly the case with I'm a
Dreamer. Although Gale Robbins never earned the fame or renown awarded
other pinups of the late 1950s, this pairing with the Eddie Cano
Orchestra is an absolute delight. Though by no means a powerhouse
vocalist, Robbins knows her way around a melody, and her torchy,
after-hours approach lends new maturity and sophistication to familiar
fare like "Them There Eyes," "They Can't Take That Away from Me," and
"Ain't Misbehavin'." But the real star of the session is Cano, whose
vivid arrangements frame the songs from appealing and unique
perspectives. The record glows with energy and warmth. by Jason Ankeny
