Lenny Breau, Five O'Clock Bells & Mo' Breau, Genes
I don't really tire of hearing My Funny Valentine, but it does, like any song after after a few hundred listens, become harder to rivet my attention unless you are doing something special. Breau does on this, taking it in a flamenco direction at one point, among other things. I rate it with the stunning Bobby Timmons version of MFV on This Here is Bobby Timmons. Fantasic guitar playing all over the Breau disk (which actually started life as 2 different LPs) in the bargain. I remember Hank (as in Williams) is about as nifty a recrafting as My Funny Valentine.
