*** Various artists, “Grateful: The Songs of John Bucchino,†RCA Victor. What does it take to get Judy Collins, Liza Minnelli, Jimmy Webb, Patti LuPone, Art Garfunkel, Michael Feinstein and Amanda McBroom--among others--onto a single album? Some first-rate cabaret songs. And Bucchino, one of the hottest songwriters in the contemporary New York cabaret scene, has provided just that in a program in which his songs, with their gentle, humorous, sad and sardonic insights into modern life, take center stage.
