Love Is Sweeter Than Wine The Breaks Of The Game by Connie Lane With The Dick Wolfe Orch & Chorus is a beautiful album that showcases the singer's incredible vocal range and the orchestra's skillful arrangements. The album features a mix of classic love songs and original compositions, all of which are delivered with Lane's signature blend of soulful emotion and smooth crooning.
One of the standout tracks on the album is the title track, "Love Is Sweeter Than Wine." Lane's voice is at its most tender and vulnerable here, and the orchestra's gentle instrumentation perfectly complements her heartfelt lyrics. Another highlight is "The Breaks Of The Game," a jazzy number that features some impressive horn solos and Lane's effortless scatting.
Throughout the album, Lane is backed by the Dick Wolfe Orchestra and Chorus, who provide lush, sweeping arrangements that add depth and texture to each song. The choir's harmonies are especially effective on tracks like "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "The Nearness Of You," where their voices blend seamlessly with Lane's.
