Free Music Review: Bobby swings brightly on this awesome CD !!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This second volume of the Ultra Lounge: Wild, Cool & Swingin' Artist CD Series has a terrific assortment of hits and ballads by the immortal Bobby Darin. This warmed my heart as I am a huge fan of Bobby's. The sound is excellent--and how's about that artwork?
"As Long As I'm Singing" has a big band arrangement to accompany Bobby's vocals; he never misses a beat and he never sounded better either! Bobby's excellent diction bolsters his performance. "There's A Rainbow `Round My Shoulder" places Bobby's vocals squarely in the spotlight; Bobby croons this like so few ever could; and the arrangement for the brass is elegant. Bobby delivers this tune with great sensitivity and I really like "There's A Rainbow `Round My Shoulder." Moreover, Bobby makes "Hello, Dolly!" a major celebration--Louis Armstrong must have been proud if he ever heard this rendition of "Hello, Dolly!"
"I Left My Heart In San Francisco" gives us Bobby doing a sublime cover of a signature Tony Bennett song; Bobby delivers this with passion and the musical orchestration lacks nothing--it's THAT good. "The Good Life" sounds fresher than I've ever heard it when Bobby sings this tune; Bobby could take a romantic tune and enhance it so well with his touch that you'd swear it was the newest, freshest ballad you ever heard. Listen also for "I'm Sitting On Top Of The World;" Bobby swings lightly and this masculine happy hit gets the royal treatment from Bobby Darin.
"I Got Rhythm" fits into this track set like a glove; and the musical interlude is wonderful with its use of the brass. "This Nearly Was Mine" from South Pacific gets a brilliant interpretation from Bobby as he sings this slow number as a swinging, sparkling hit that is unabashedly upbeat. "I Wanna Be Around" slow down the pace so Bobby can perform this flawlessly--what a crooner Bobby was! The CD ends with "Gyp The Cat." People note that "Gyp The Cat" sounds a lot like "Mack The Knife" but Bobby holds his own and it all works very well. Great!
The musical arrangements by Billy May and Richard Wess are sublime. Too bad the personnel of the bands aren't listed in the credits.
Overall, this is one awesome Bobby Darin CD that a true fan simply must have in their CD collection. People who like classic pop vocals with big band style arrangements are bound to love this CD, too.
