Darin was the consummate pop chameleon, forging a career that variously framed him as a '50s rock 'n' roll teen idol, standards crooner, Vegas powerhouse, and an unlikely - yet truly compelling - counterculture protestor.
Hyena's CD/ DVD package captures Darin's entire arc with live recordings, TV and film footage, a selection of his folk songs and several intimate, and rare small-combo jazz recordings. Crisp video from Darin's 1972 TV variety show demonstrates how freely he could swing like a junior Rat Packer. Whether covering Neil Diamond's "Song Sung Blue" or recounting his own "Beyond the Sea," Darin sizzles with an energy that befits the band's brassy charts. Unreleased documentary footage shows Darin firmly in control both in the studio and on stage, and additional audio tracks include an astounding stripped-down demo of 1959's "Dream Lover," riveting Vegas performances of Dylan's "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" and Tim Hardin's "If I Were a Carpenter," and a sampling of Darin's own latter-day folk-rock songs.
This set shows off Darin's brilliant versatility, something that might seem like a dilettante's marketing gimmick if these discs didn't show a hall of fame rock 'n' roller who could convincingly swing like Sinatra and pull it back in for an introspective folk song.

One of my all time favourite songs by Bobby Darin is "If I Was a Carpenter"
(I played my vinyl 45 so much it actually warped) so I checked Napster & found a few covers, when I listened to Aces Back to Back, I was blown away.
This version of is the best ever...no orchestral back up, just some dude tapping on bongos, and a cat with a flute but with my ear phones on, it's like Bobby is pouring his heart out "to me" and me alone; I tell you it is awesome!
This is one young man that tragically died way before the world was ready to let him go. But through the magic of CD's and Amazon's large collection of music, he'll always be with us.
