She Was Too Good To Me Bob James' electric piano and some strings (just the right amount) give this CD a unique flavor. Chet sings several ballads, and this is where you start to hear the change in his voice. It's still soft and sincere, but it is lower and starting to show the ravishes of cigarettes and drugs.

Besides being a great recording, this one also has some
historical significance, as it is viewed by many as Chet's
"comeback" album. Although Baker recorded in the late sixties,
they were really dreadful commercial albums. This is the first significant
recording Chet made since the '65 Prestige sessions. It also marks the
beginning of a very successful association with Creed Taylor and CTI
Records. Chet recorded some of best work for CTI in the mid-to-late
1970's.
