I was in a garden centre last week and the cheapo music rack caught my eye, I often walk past it and glance at the titles but today I wanted a bit of music to pass the time in the traffic jams on the way home.
Earlier on I had been having a discussion with someone about Sinatra, horses heads and a certain organisation known as the family.
On seeing the CD 'All the way' my mind suddenly conjured up pictures of bobby soxers being forced into record stores, by men in double breasted pin striped suits carrying violin cases under their arms, to buy Sinatra records.
No? Well then there must be some other reason for his popularity, one of them is he, and only he, can sing certain songs, that is the reason I bought this CD (Apart from the price)
Now for the CD, this had been recorded live and some of the performance is a little under par but still of higher quality than a lot of live recordings I have heard from other artists.
Track 1, this is the classic 'Come fly with me' sung as only Sinatra can sing it.
Track 2, 'Begin the beguine' great song but not the best version by a mile.
Track 3, 'Dancing in the dark' er a miss I'm afraid
Track 4, 'You make me feel so young' I sing along to this one everytime I hear it.
Track 6, 'On the sunny side of the street' Bright and breezy easy listening type song.
Track 7, 'Blue Skies' Now we are getting in the swing of things
Track 8, 'All the way' Another classic from the man
Track 9, 'Ghost of a chance' not with this one Frank
Track 10, 'Night and day' Passable version
Track 11, 'Somebody loves me' OK but not the best track
Track 12, 'Just one of those things' back to the real standards with this one.
Track 13, 'you are love' play it in the background!
Track 14, 'They didn't believe me' Another timeless favourite
Track 15, 'Out of nowhere' em put it back Frank
Track 16, 'I've got my love to keep me warm' Another great singalong song
Track 17, 'For You' & Track 18, 'Road to Mandalay' would have been better left off.
All in all it's a good CD for the Sinatra fans and anyone who likes to hear the crooner style. The price of £3.99p is fantastic, the insert is rubbish with no detail, run time about 45 mins.
CD Number PEG CD 119
Buy it!
