Jim O'Rourke's tribute album, All Kinds of People Love Burt Bacharach, sincerely honours the pop composer's five-decade legacy, celebrated by legends as diverse as Brian Wilson, Stan Getz, and Dr. Dre. Initially, O'Rourke's project seemed an odd match given his tenure with Sonic Youth, but his appreciation for McCartney hinted at a playful side. O'Rourke's album, featuring both popular hits like 'I Say A Little Prayer' and obscure gems such as 'Anonymous Phone Call,' is gloriously whimsical and musically inventive. The tracks are beautifully performed, pristinely produced, and feature guest vocalists like Haruomi Hosono and Kahimi Karie. While their English pronunciation may falter, their sincerity charms. The arrangements, often slightly deviating from the originals, captivate with their inspired resourcefulness. A steel drum leading 'Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head' exemplifies this inventive approach. This tribute album not only celebrates Bacharach's sophisticated pop but also enhances O'Rourke's reputation as a brilliant, imaginative artist.
