Billy May uses both big band and descreet strings in orchestrating this energized set of swingers and swinging balladry. Nat even takes on the Hammond B3 to play the break in a few numbers, to wonderful effect. 'Rules Of The Road' & 'Cold Cold Heart' stand out to me. Featuring exemplary, sassy arrangements and marvelous performances by Nat, this one really 'clicks' - and swings.
