Album Notes Audio Mixer: Don Murray. Liner Note Author: George Benson. Recording information: Porcupine Studios, Chandler, AZ; Hannibal Studio, Santa Monica, CA; fox Force Five Studios, Los Angeles, CA; The Village Studios, Los Angeles, CA; Capitol Studios, Hollywood, CA; ATS Studios, Los Angeles, CA; Henson Recording Studios; Mega Studios, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Photographer: Greg Allen. George Benson's sound is so recognizable that, in its way, it's quite comforting to hear his voice or his guitar come across on the radio or in a club. His recordings have been polished and extravagant in many cases, but there are those signature elements-his relaxed delivery and silky touch on the strings and his voice, as evocative as a cool breeze floating across a hot summer night. SONGS AND STORIES doesn't deviate from his formula a great deal, but it doesn't have to. He's chosen ten ubiquitous pop tunes from a variety of songwriters (and one by a relatively new kid on the block), and with the help of producers John Burk and Marcus Miller, he puts them across in fine style.
Industry Reviews [T]ypically compelling. Lamont Dozier wrote the sublime `Living in High Definition,' another effortless Benson gem with wonderful scatting.
