About This Version
Tony Bennett recorded this version of “The Rules of the Road” for his 1964 album with The Ralph Sharon Trio: When Lights Are Low.
It’s no secret that this one of my favorite songs recorded by Tony Bennett. I invite to compare this 1964 version with Bennett’s original 1961 recording. It’s the mark of a great jazz singer to pull off these recordings with such a different emotional impact for the listener. Well, at least this listener.
