HENRY MANCINI +MEGHAN TRAINOR ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW JANUARY 27TH

MEGHAN TRAINOR'S NEW ALBUM.....TITLE.

Unfortunately this album comes about by the hit single "All about the base" and this
tracks is the best on the album. There are other catchy songs of which I played
"Lips are movin' on the show but ....good to dance to.....but a little Wallpaper happy.
I could eat me words on this as I'm sure several tracks will do well in the charts.
Matter of preference.***

HENRY MANCINI COLLECTION....RCA....3CDS

Seven tracks played on the show, all interesting, all different, and the albums include
all of the well-known and great stuff from Henry Mancini's career. Have profiled
this album before and with sixty tracks it is more than goof value.****

HOLIDAY FOR SWING...SETH MCFARLANE.....REPUBLIC RECORDS.
tracks played....
A Marshmellow world / Moonlight in Vermont / Mele Kalikimaka  / Let it snow.

Good ol fashioned Big Band backings to Bublelike singing. Some strange festive choices chosen
for this album but they are well sung and imaginatively orchestrated. 4 stars. ****.

COLUMBIA...REAL GONE MUSIC...SONY.
Tracks played....
White Chriistmas / Hurry home for Christmas / Sleigh ride / On this Noel / He's gonna
take away our Christmas / The Christmas Waltz / Winter wonderland.

There is nothing finer that to hear Robert Goulet's rich baritone voice singing Christmas Carols.
There are the other Christmas Classics as well but they are not as successful. 29 Tracks is
wonderful value and there are a few little quirky surprises along the way. In all , a great 60s
selection of Yuletide classics, finely sung. ****.
