All the trademarks of the King’s Singers brand are here: unified vowel sounds, consonant placement precisely timed, an agreement of which words, which syllables, get a special caress, and a balance of voices that allow the melody to be forward while being well-supported by a firm mattress of harmony. I’m personally sad to see “Johnny” Howard depart the group. This album is a poignant and dignified send-off for the member who always supplied the most joy and humor.
