The Damone Type of Thing looks both forward and backward: Perry Botkin's arrangements boast a subtle soulfulness clearly inspired by the dominant pop sensibilities of the late 1960s, but the material is steadfastly -- even defiantly -- patrician, foregoing contemporary fare in favor of pages from the Great American Songbook. Taken together, the songs paint a portrait of romantic disillusionment and despair, and Damone seizes upon the album's smoky, boozy atmosphere with gusto.
