Seth MacFarlane – Sings the Muppets (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
MacFarlane has long worn his devotion to the Great American Songbook on his sleeve, and here he turns that same reverence toward the Muppets' equally rich catalog. Writers like Paul Williams and Joe Raposo built songs with real melodic bones, the kind that hold up beautifully when dressed in full orchestral swing. This is comfort music for people who know the difference between a great song and a novelty.
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Muppet Show, Seth MacFarlane shines a spotlight on one of the most beloved and enduring songbooks in popular culture. Featuring timeless favorites from The Muppet Show, the classic Muppet films, and Sesame Street, the album reimagines these unforgettable melodies as lush orchestral jazz standards inspired by a classic era of vocal recordings. The album features songs by acclaimed writers including Joe Raposo, Paul Williams, and Jeff Moss, with spectacular arrangements by Andrew Cottee. Conducted by John Wilson and performed by a world-class orchestra recorded at Skywalker Ranch, these songs are brought to life with the sophistication, warmth, and swing of the classic American Songbook. Both a heartfelt tribute and a fresh musical interpretation, the album celebrates the wit, emotion, and extraordinary craftsmanship that have made the music of the Muppets resonate across generations.
