Michael Franks has again proven that he has no equal when it comes to inking and swooning the lyrics in his music. Whether its 'Tiger in the Night', 'One Bad Habit', or 'Blue Pacific' and others, Franks continues to marry vocals and fine Jazz instruments in creating the most diversified sound in Jazz as we know it. 'Barefoot on the Beach' brings together legends like Chuck Loeb, Valerie Simpson, and the ever charismatic and legendary Bob James, so you know it is definitely "off the hook".

Michael Franks has just delivered us an unchanged but excellent works under Windham Hill Jazz which Michael chose as his new partner, after saying good-bye to his long partner Warner Bros Records. To be honest, the former original album "Abandoned Garden" (1995) tribute to the late Antonio Carlos Jobim was basically the bosa-nova album due to the album concept, which could not satisfy my expectation to Michael Franks as one of the excellent Adult Contemporary Music singers. As regards "Dragonfly Summer", I was not so impressed with the album due to high expectation to Michael. Now, I am very satisfied with this sophisticated but passionate album. From the opening track "Barefoot On The Beach" to the ending track "Like Moon Behind A Cloud", Michael does fully show his talent as a singer and a songwriter on this album. If you like mid-80's Michael Franks albums, you are aware that Michael self-covers his own tune "Double Talk" on this album. This is another debut album of new Michael Franks towards Y2K under Windham Hill Jazz.
