Birth Of The Blues - Gerry Mulligan

Advantages: Pure listening pleasure for Gerry Marsden fans.
Disadvantages: The only disadvantage is the Cilla Black track

...This is a must for Gerry and The Pacemakers fans. Pure listening pleasure. Gerry Marsden, the lead singer was in the sixties and is still a fantastic vocalist, he can have you up off your seat dancing with 'Shot of Rythm and Blues' and 'Jambalaya' and then completely slow down the mood with classic tracks such as 'Ferry Cross the Mersey' and 'You'll Never Walk Alone' the ultimate football anthem (especially if you, like I am a fanatical Liverpool fan) There are 26 tracks to listen to both upbeat and slow I could not find any fault with this DVD except perhaps for the fact that two tracks did not feature Gerry but one featured the Fourmost, which was quite good but the other track Cilla Black, well it depends on your point of view but for me this track ruins the whole thing, (no offence Cilla) but you were at your best on Blind...

...This was one of the last CD's that I bought, I dont know why I put off buying it so much. Maybe it was because of the plain old looking front cover. I regret not buying the album sooner now as Talkin Blues (track number one) has turned out to be my favourite Bob Marley song of all time. Talking Blues hasn't been released on any other album except this one which is named after it. Title: Bob Marley And The Wailers Talkin' Blues Releaseed: 4th Feb 1991 Recorded: 1973–1975 Genre: Reggae Length: 61:50 Label: Tuff Gong/Island Front Cover: Looks like a canvas painting of Bob Marley in his early days, his dreads are not fully grown which suggests the picture was originally taken around the time Bob turned to Rasta. The background is just a very plain blue, quite suprisingly the quality of this album does not seem to live up... Read review

...~ ~ So what’s this, you may well ask? A music review from the “mad cabbie”!!!! Am I seeing right? Well, believe it or believe it not, the only reason I have never written in this category before is because no matter how hard I try to attempt to get across what I want to convey, it all seems to come out all cock-eyed. But listening to one of my favourite singers on the CD-Rom last night while I surfed around the Web, I realised that I couldn’t put off the evil day any longer. ~ ~ Some of you will probably remember a song from the late 1970’s called “Baker Street”, by a Scot’s singer called Gerry Rafferty. If you listen to the radio at all you can hardly have missed it, as even now there is hardly a day passes that it is not played at some point. I believe there was even a cover... Read review
