In this collection of private and previously unreleased recordings and in a variety of musical styles, the many faces and moods of Steve Barton come alive, in full focus. Compiled and carefully restored from Steve's own private archive of tapes, Encore is a very special souvenir and a private glimpse of a song stylist and performer at work.
Steve's vocals are clear and confident in the previously unreleased recordings from the musicals 'The House On The Corner', 'Company' and 'Guys & Dolls', while his 'Drawn To You' from 'The Anastasia Affaire', alters the tempo and texture of this collection.
This anthology ably demonstrates Steve's charismatic presence as a live performer as he prepares and rehearses for his one-man show. These private moments capture the essence of his uniquely introspective style of performing and his ability to deliver show tunes with elegance.
