Ferrante & Teicher - "You Asked For It!" (1966) - United Artists
Hello friends!
Our favorite dueling pianists are back with "You Asked for It!"-- a pretty straightforward living room lounge LP with lush arrangements and familiar cover songs. Not as experimentally-minded or exotic-sounding as some of their earlier records, but by the late 60's, lounge music became redundant and very vanilla.
Their instrumental version of "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" is pretty good, but how can you screw that song up? Their original composition, the fast and frantic "Firebird" is probably the LP's highlight! Glad to see the boys still have something in the tank.
Fun Fact: According to Stephen Davis in his book, Walk This Way: The Autobiography of Aerosmith, frontman Steven Tyler states that Arthur Ferrante & Louis Teicher would practice playing piano at his grandmother's house in New York while they were students at the Julliard School of Music!
