ONE DIRECTION...NEW SINGLE....STEAL MY GIRL.
Just another One Direction single. Previous singles have been better than this.**.
BOBBY DARIN IF I WERE A CARPENTER/INSIDE OUT...DIABLO RECORDS.(2cds)
tracks played...
If I were a carpenter / Don't make promises / I am / Whatever happened to Happy /
Hello Sunshine / I'm going to love you.
A strange matching of albums with both having a fairly random selection of songs. This
is not to say that it is not good. Unusually interesting and perfectly vocalised. Bobby
Darin was often hailed as successor to Sinatra and had a more varied approach to
all different types of material. This album proves that.****.

PATTI PAGE VOL 1 ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW 21 ST OCTOBER 2014.
PATTI PAGE VOL 1 EIGHT CLASSIC ALBUMS.....REAL GONE MUSIC...4CDS.
Tracks played....
I want to be a cowboy sweetheart / Mocking bird hill / I'll string along with you /
You're driving me crazy / You go to my head / I didn't know what time it was /
Milwaukee Polka / I can't tell a waltz from a tango.
Yes indeed....91 tracks from the superb voice of Patti Page. I have to admit these are
early recordings from 1956-57 but the voice is crystal clear on these tracks, the performances
are great and the orchestrations, although by today's standards are dated , are very
acceptable. Patti sings everything without improvisation, so all the songs are sung as
they were originally intended, straight. Most are excellent choice standards and all are
worth hearing just for Patti's voice....clear and concise. 4star****. There will be a volume
2 released shortly.
PLAYLIST.
Baby we can't go wrong...Cilla Black...THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION(2CDS/1DVD) ****.

BARBRA STREISAND..PARTNERS..ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW OCTOBER 10TH 2014.
BARBRA STREISAND...PARTNERS....COLUMBIA/SONY MUSIC...£10.
tracks played.....
It had to be you......MICHAEL BUBLE.*****
People...................STEVIE WONDER.***.
I still can see your face....ANDREA BOCELLI.*****.
Somewhere............JOSH GROBAN.****.
Love me tender......ELVIS PRESLEY.****.
I've got a crush on you.....FRANK SINATRA.***.
17 tracks on this album, four of them recorded earlier on other "Duet" type albums.
Barbra's voice is , as if she had been away. It is almost disturbingly as good as
ever. This is all ballads and it does get a little monotonous as each slow track
slips into another slow track. ...not that quality is skimped on....there is a lot to
commend and although I only played seven tracks on the show there was nothing
to criticise on the remaining items. The Sinatra Duet only got three stars because
it was recorded in his later recording years and the tonal sound of his voice is not
what we're used to. He was in his eighties for goodness sake. Presley's track with
it's new accompaniment orchestra is very smooth and very acceptable. This was
the tracks I was expecting to dislike. As a whole it is a professional release but
a few new swingers or uptempo numbers would have been gratefully received.****.
