How about The Mike Flowers Pops from 1996?

You can find a clip here:

The time period is right, but the site won’t let me login to listen to it. I just now registered; maybe it takes a while to activate.

I’ve heard cuts from the album. They sound fantastic. Anka regarded this as a serious project, and these songs as solid musical numbers that had to be respected and arranged well. This attitude shows.

I’m not the only one who thinks this, as the album has been getting very solid reviews from jazz reviewers as well as rock critics.

The album is actually on my list, more for my wife, who would love it dearly. I’ll be giving it out this Christmas as well, as I have an aunt and uncle that just would play this until it disintegrated.

I’m with you, Mr. M. I got a gift certificate to a book/music store when I left my last job, and #1 was buying “Rock Swings”. It’s really great how he transformed these songs to swing. The lyrics to “Jump” (by Van Halen) actually transform very well.

I bought it after a pal played “It’s my life” for me, actually made a trip to a shop the very next day. Some of it’s really cool and the rest is fun in the so wrong it’s delicious way.

Only Anka album I’ve ever owned, so if deluded means making money, then yep!
