Free Music Review: Top Notch Performance
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is a steal. Darin's performance is top notch. He puts so much energy and feelings when he sings. The highlight I believe is the Beatles Medley. In addidtion to the Beatles songs cited on the CD cover, Darin also sings the 2nd verse of Something, one of the Beatles best love songs. The Beatles ballads have held up over time far more so then their rock n' roll tunes. Collectively the Beatles were great but individually none of them can compare to Darin as a singer.
Darin wrote many of his songs or made modern versons of old songs like Mack the Knife. I believe if he had recruited professional writers as Elvis and others did he would have had many more hits. While Darin is arguably the most versatile singer ever, I believe the swing songs is were Darin really excels. There seems to be a lot singers who can do the ballads but not many who can do those finger snapping numbers - at least not as good as Darin or a Sinatra.
Live! At the Desert Inn Poster
On a cool February night in 1971, entertainer Bobby Darin gathered the friends, associates, and VIPs he'd flown in for the occasion to a sort of summit meeting in the Crystal Room of Las Vegas' Desert Inn. There and then, Darin again staked his claim as one of the most accomplished, versatile, and creatively unpredictable pop singers ever. Despite having traded his early teen idol incarnation for that of mature and ambitious saloon singer a decade earlier, Darin displays his uncanny knack for recasting contemporary rock and pop in his own image repeatedly here. The show may feature a loose, swinging rendition of "Mack the Knife" near the top of the set, and close with the spare, jazzy bonus version of "Beyond the Sea," but they bookend masterful takes on everything from James Taylor (a blues-charged "Fire and Rain") and BS&T's "Hi De Ho" to the Beatles (a medley of "Hey Jude"/"Eleanor Rigby"/"Blackbird"/"A Day in the Life" whose drama shames most contemporary pop covers) and a warm, elegant version of Dylan's "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight." His hit version of Tim Hardin's "If I Were A Carpenter" is shrewdly paired here with the poignant, Darin-penned anti-war anthem "Sing a Simple Song of Freedom" (which Hardin covered successfully), underscoring the willful genre-bending that made Darin so intriguing. -- Jerry McCulleyBroadway & Vocalists Music CDs
