Patrizio Buanne

Patrizio Buanne

The Italian

(Universal)

Many copies of this album will find a permanent home in the CD changers of restaurants with old chianti bottles suspended from the ceiling.

You've heard most of these songs before - and that's where. In fact, it was in his parents' ristorante that Patrizio Buanne first heard them, and a love of romantic Italian pop tunes of the 1940s, 50s and 60s appears to have stuck with him.

There's some newer material. You've heard Crowded House's Don't Dream It's Over before, as well, but most cover versions stick with Neil Finn's original elliptical lyric. Here, a new set of words in Italian tells you all about what it's like to be stuck in a Roman traffic jam.
