COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS FEATURING MICHAEL BALL & ALFIE BOE " TOGETHER AGAIN" OCTOBER 29TH 2017.


TOGETHER AGAIN....DECCA....MICHAEL BALL& ALFIE BOE.
tracks played....
West side story medley / As if we never said goodbye / He lives in you / Some enchanted
evening / Stranger in Paradise,And this is my beloved / You'll be back / Once upon a
December.

16 tracks plus free DVD of the titanic two makes this good value provided you purchase
the deluxe version.  There are outstanding tracks but also some  strange choices....Bring me
Sunshine / New York New York / and White Christmas with Bing Crosby.  My feeling
being that Bing Crosby singing alone is better that adding two live modern singers to an old
vocal.....also they do not improve on the original singles by Sinatra and Morecambe  & Wise.
Otherwise powerful musical theatre tracks that outshine the rest of the album. ********.

I am sorry, but I have caught a bug ( cold) which has left me feeling week. The trouble is if

this one doesn't have that punch of the previous. *******.

Darkness and trees reprise / Lead us out of the night / Costume party /  I am here / Prayer
In the bar/heave away / Screech in / Stop the world.

Very explicit musical about the 38 planes that were diverted to Newfoundland
on 9/11 in America. Their fears, their problems with little information reaching
them and the inhabitants of Gander who did there very best to look after over 7,000
people in their small town. The story and reactions are the main focal point and there
is a large amount of talking over chords or music but it does represent a complete
scenario of what really happened.....as  a musical CD it is perhaps lacking but this musical
has been filling  houses on broadway for a year. *******.

LINDA RONSTADT WITH NELSON RIDDLE...LUSH LIFE....DOWNLOAD.

Skylark / It never entered my mind / You took advantage of me.
Can't we be friends / My old flame / Lush life.

Relaxed emotive album with Linda Ronstadt out of her comfort zone and
Nelson Riddle orchestrations assisting her vocal performance throughout.

Journey to the past / Paris holds the key / Crossing a bridge / The countess and the
common man / Quartet at the ballet / Everything to win / Finale.

Tuneful musical with good performances from the leads and ensemble. The music

COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING STEVE LAWRENCE SINGLES....AUGUST 8TH 2017.


STEVE LAWRENCE...WALKING PROUD.THE TEEN POP SIDES...  TEENSVILLE RECORDS.

Tracks Played...
Walking proud / Only love me / Loving is a way of living / Pretty Blue eyes.
Footsteps / Going steady / Hansel and Gretel / Tears from heaven .
Portrait of my love / Go away little girl / Don't be afraid little darlin' / Poor little rich girl.
Everybody knows / Yet...I know / I'm making the same mistakes again.

A mixed bunch of sixties nostalgia, perhaps only for the ardent fan of that era.
Steve Lawrence is an excellent singer who obviously went along with the current trend
in the sixties of trite commercial singles. I don't blame him. "Go away little girl" was a million
selling chart topping single. There were other reasonable hits...some very pleasant....
especially his cover of " Portrait of my love"from Britain's Matt Munro but don't
spend your money if you are expecting the classy music on his albums of later years.
This is sixties pop aimed at teenagers. *******.

JACK JONES..MY KIND OF TOWN......UNIVERSAL MUSIC

TRACKS PLAYED...
My kind of town / Somewhere along the way /The race is on / I can't beleive
I'm losing you / Yes, I can / I'm all smiles / I must know / Time after time/
King of the road.

Jack Jones was the possible successor to Frank Sinatra. This album which tackles a
few of Sinatra's tracks proves it. A lovely singer with a distinctive vocal sound but it
was the arrival of Liverpool groups and a swift movement from orchestras to modern sounds
that moved Jack Jones to the Album market only...to some success especially in Britain.
This album is good but suffers from dated backings. Buble has taken over. *******.

Tracks played....

Come blow your horn / You'll never walk alone / I have dreamed / When I'm not near the girl
I love / I've never been in love before / So in love / Some enchanted evening / The Continental
I believe in you / Hello Dolly.

Selected from the Complete Reprise collection Sinatra singing the show tunes is a very
pleasing  sound. Most of the ballads here are excellent...even in his later years...but hearing
him belting out Hello Dolly is a little bit more mind-blowing than musical. The Complete
Reprise Collection is a pretty expensive buy. I even think buying his albums individually
on reprise is cheaper.....but then ....you don't get the unreleased Sinatra.... and if you're
a fan that's a must-have.....and there's about 30 unreleased tracks. *********.

Enterprising album from some of Jeri Southern's best vocals. Billy May is the arranger
