ASTRAUD GILBERTO+JOE MCELDERRY +PLAYLIST SEPTEMBER11TH.

THE BEST OF ASTRAUD GILBERTO.

Tracks played....Bim Bom / How insensative /Come softly to me
Call me/Fly me to the moon.

An unusual voice with a great deal of "Smoothe" attached to it. In the
sixties Miss Gilberto was the essence of cool. Stan Getz is playing
on the background of some tracks and the overall sound is extremely
pleasant.25 songs is good value and the CD is perfect as an album
for relaxing on an evening drive on a sunny day.****.

HERE'S WHAT I BELIEVE...JOE MC ELDERRY

Tracks played....I don't want to talk about it /Love of my life.
       My love will find you.

His  CLASSICS albums were better but this is a stab at new material
with a lush backing hoping to meet current market standards. He is
not a male ADELE and after a few tracks there is a sense of sameness
about the material that does not please and I do not see this adding
to his list of fast selling albums. For fans only.***.

ALL TIME 100 TOP THEME TUNES.

Tracks played....Police woman / The Rockford files / The waltons
Happy Days / Scooby Doo / The Monkees / Batman / Bewitched /
The Flintstones / Merrie melodies / Dragnet / I love Lucy / The Lone Ranger.

RHYDIAN +PLAYLIST AUGUST 29TH.

RHYDIAN...O FORTUNA.

tracks played....Myfanwy / Adiemus / I won't let you walk this road alone.

A good lightly classical album with Rhydian joining forces on two

with mixed choirs in the background. This is proberbly the best
Rhydian album he has recorded and much better than his recent
electronic visit to the recordeing studio.****.

THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF BOBBY DARIN.

there / Irresistable you.

With all Darin's hits this is easily the best value package of his best

this has to be a five star album.*****.
