Review

Amazon editor David Horiuchi said: "Rising cabaret star David Campbell made his U.S. recording debut with Yesterday Is Now, mixing familiar standards ("Come Rain or Come Shine") with wistful nostalgia ("On Such a Night as This," "Whatever Happened to Melody?") and gems from contemporary songwriters. Campbell's warm voice is a delight to listen to, and his understanding of lyrics belies his years. He also explores his roots with his "Australian Musical Medley". [1]
