DINO......DEAN MARTIN....CAPITOL / BEAR FAMILY / OTHERS
tracks played...
Arrivedeci Roma / There's no tomorrow / Non dementica / Just say I love her
Take me in your arms / Bella bella bambino / On an evening in Roma.*****.
Superb sophisticated listening. Lush orchestrations behind "Dino" singing at his best. He
caresses the songs with a natural romantic talent. The song choice is excellent....what
more can I say ? The twelve ballads on the album are available on DINO released by
Capitol records(EMI) but all twelve are available with added Italian songs on other
independant labels.

DON MC LEAN + MATT MUNRO ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW APRIL 22ND.
DON MC LEAN....FAVOURITES AND RARITIES...UNITED ARTISTS IMPORT.
tracks played...
If we try / Castles in the air / Superman's ghost / Milkman's matinee / Profiteering blues
And mother came too.
48 tracks including ALL his hits with a wealth of new material and a few concert choices
this seems like a very agreeable bargain. On download it is excellent value...buy it on CD
and it costs a lot more. You could say Don McLean is an acquired taste but because of
his versatility many of his songs entertain as well as relaxing your mind. Very enjoyable.*****.
MATT MUNRO....RARE MONRO.....EMI.
Tracks played....Fare thee well my pretty maid / Fools rush in / My kind of girl / Without you
Born free.
Some tracks I have never heard before and on other tracks you have different"takes" of his
hit records. If you are familiar with these songs you will notice the difference. The backing
is altered, Matt sings it slightly differently, the backing is appalling.....and with " My kind of
Girl" the whole concept is new. More Elvis than Sinatra !! Monro's voice conquers all. It is
one of the most pleasing voices I have ever heard. No gimmicks, and in this case, no echo
just perfect singing.*****.

PALOMA FAITH + ANNE MURRAY ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW 9TH MARCH
PALOMA FAITH....PERFECT CONTRADICTION....RCA/SONY.
tracks played..
Can't rely on you / Only love can hurt like this / Other woman / Impossible heart.
Paloma Faith's first album was a knockout. Strong melodies with a magical soul feel
that blistered your ears with happiness. The second album was good but.....not quite as good
as the first legendary one. This, the third has a more modern sound at the expense of really
good material. "Can't rely on you" is strutting disco and "Only love can hurt like this" with
a "Spector" wall of sound gets a little lost in it's melody. In fact, with this album the melody does
not linger on. ***.
ANNE MURRAY.... THE BEST SO FAR. EMI MUSIC CANADA.
Tracks played...
Snowbird / Danny's song / A love song / I just fall in love again.
the titles chosen here were her best single hits in America. Country and Western influenced
some of her albums had more interesting tracks that those included on this album but with
twenty tracks and her excellant vocalising it's very soothing and faultless. ****.

I am Number one..Ricky Gervais,Muppets........THE MUPPET MOVIE 2.***.
