Paraiso - Gerry Mulligan/Jane Duboc

Advantages: See opinion
Disadvantages: See opinion

...~ ~ 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

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...

Advantages: Cracking album, great songs, chilled out, upbeat. Just Ace.
Disadvantages: I can't think of a single solitary little one. HURRAH!

...to pay around £8 for it. Money well spent. The Packaging. Standard CD fare, the album cover is dark coloured featuring a painting of Gerry with a fab pair of shades on! hahaha! The Tracks The Ark Baker Street Right Down The Line City to City Stealin' Time Mattie's Rag Whatevers Written in Your Heart Home & Dry Island Waiting for the Day I think it was inspired by him being on the road and touring, and really looking forward to getting home! The songs are nearly all on that sort of a theme. Probably everyone in the world (well maybe not everyone!) knows Baker Street, yes, it's the one with the sax bit at the start... This is the one of the upbeat tracks on the album, however it is split about 50/50 with perky songs and slower ones. As I said before, even the most upbeat songs have a really relaxed feel to them...
