Barefoot on the Beach
''Barefoot on the Beach'' is a smooth vocal jazz album by American singer-songwriter and musician Michael Franks, released in 1999 with Windham Hill Records. It was Franks' fourteenth studio album, after ''Abandoned Garden'' and prior to ''Watching the Snow''.
==Background==
Michael Franks' long-standing relationship with Warner Bros. Records (and its subsidiary Reprise Records) which began with the 1976 album ''The Art of Tea'' ended with ''Barefoot on the Beach''. The album was his first and only release with Windham Hill Records, a Sony Music label; subsequent albums would be released with Koch (now E1 Music) and Shanachie Records. His compilation albums continued to be released with Warner Bros.
The album includes a duet with Valerie Simpson in "Now Love Has No End", and saw the return of Joe Sample and The Yellowjackets' Jimmy Haslip.
While the general mood and tone of the tracks are evocative of summer, it also contains biting commentary on Broadcast Architecture's dominance of American smooth jazz radio at the time with "Mr Smooth". Lyrics such as ''"some of us remember how much choice there was, before he took the throne", and "his verdict we must wait"'' lament the dominance and perceived heavy-handed influence of the network on the genre.
