{"product_id":"kenny-rankin-because-of-you","title":"Kenny Rankin - Because of You","description":"\u003cp\u003eReleased in 1991 by the noted audiophile label Chesky Records, Because Of You is an enduring monument to a multi-faceted American singer whose talent knew no boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOccupying a unique space where folk, rock, pop, country, and jazz elements intermingle, Kenny Rankin (1940-2009) - whose golden voice was once described by jazz saxophonist Stan Getz as \"a horn with a heartbeat\" - was a genre-blurring singer whose soulful sound defied categorization. Impeccably produced by David Chesky, the beautifully performed Because Of You found Rankin blending self-written numbers ('This Old Man' and 'Erienda') with jazz standards ('Someone To Watch Over Me'), and Brazilian classics ('Berimbau').\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album's pièce de résistance is Rankin's take on Thelonious Monk's iconic bebop ballad 'Round Midnight,' which is performed as a duo with double bassist David Finck. The album is reissued on 180g One Step Pressing Vinyl LP in 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52075525308721,"sku":"4895241439971","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/4473360-3480357.jpg?v=1763565829","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/kenny-rankin-because-of-you","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
