Mercury Rising by Sting isn't considered one of the highlights in his solo-career, although he had a crack band behind him. Featuring the late pianist Kenny Kirkland and guitarist Dominic Miller. On this album from 1996 is a French song Sting wrote with Miller, La Belle Dame Sans Regrets. I'm not a big Sting fan (although I'm looking forward to see the reunited Police in concert, after summer), so I really wouldn't know why Mr Tantra Sex went French on us. Then again, he did a passable version of Ne Me Quitte Pas too (posted before). The song was covered by a bunch of women, and some very belle ones too. Take Canada's Emilie-Claire Barlow (pictured) for instance. Dutch jazz-diva Fay Claassen is easy on the eyes. And jazzdivas Bianca Pittoors and Blossom Dearie are classy too.
