EASY LISTENING SHOW MARCH 2OTH. DEAN MARTIN,PERRY COMO,BING CROSBY.

FOREVER COOL....DEAN MARTIN.
Tracks played....I can't believe that you're in love with me ( with Joss Stone) / Who was that Lady?
You're nobody till somebody loves you ( with Shelby Lynne) / Brahm's Lullaby.

A fourteen track CD recorded with brand new up to date big band and guest singers. Because Dean Martin
often recorded on one track, his voice could be isolated and therefore renewed and repeated as though
it was a live recording. This works well on solo tracks but I am always dismayed when guests(Kevin Spacey,
Robbie Williams and others) speak to him when he blatantly isn't there. I find this odd. Good swinging
album.

HOW THE WEST WAS WON....BING CROSBY,ROSEMARY CLOONEY AND OTHER
                                                      COUNTRY SINGERS.

A re-release of a 1959 album by the Bear Family. Excellant quality on this recording of early
American pioneer songs beautifully performed and sung by Crosby and Clooney with assistance
from choirs and singers. Unusual but first class.

Juke Box Baby / Just born to be your baby / Magic moments / Catch a falling star.

Crazy words crazy tune / Bye bye blackbird / Whisper song / Laugh clown laugh / Charleston
Doin the Racoon / Black Bottom / Don't bring Lulu / A cup of coffee , a sandwich, and you

This re-released album of 20s music belongs to an attractive blond who starred in the TV series
The Roaring Twenties. Although the programme was no great shakes the music was original with
original orchestrations and an impressive 20s feel. Well produced and lasting over an hour this
is a bright happy commercial album.

This is an album to put on in the car. As a driving background it is great. As a expressionist dancing
