Free Music Review: The wait is OVER--a fine CD of Bobby's hits
Hit: 5 Stars
Bobby Rydell entertained millions of Americans in the late 1950s and the early 1960s while enjoying teen idol status. Fortunately for Bobby and all of us, he still remains a creative, energetic force to this day. This CD gives us twenty-four great numbers by Bobby Rydell and an extra "message from Bobby" as a type of bonus track.
The CD track set begins with the early rock and roll, doo-wop sounding "Please Don't Be Mad." Bobby sings this with all his heart and soul; and the backup chorus enhances the beauty of this opening number. "We Got Love" starts with the chorus singing these words and when Bobby comes in he positively takes flight! The chorus harmonizes so very well and the musical arrangement sports an infectiously happy, upbeat melody and tempo. Excellent!
"Wild One" speeds up the tempo even more as Bobby rocks this one to perfection! Love those ladies on backup--and the melody has a great beat to it! The percussion adds to the quality of the number, too. It's easy to understand why "Wild One" was a big hit for Bobby. In addition, Bobby sings a perfect cover of "Volare" with a stunning arrangement and a great female backup chorus. "Sway" sports an early 1960s Latin beat to it as Bobby croons this without a superfluous note!
"That Old Black Magic" gives us another example of Bobby taking a classic pop vocal and infusing it with a rock and roll arrangement to make "That Old Black Magic" his very own. Excellent! The tempo changes a few times on "That Old Black Magic;" and this only serves to enhance the number further.
"Wildwood Days" refers to that Jersey shore beach so many people always enjoyed in summertime during those simpler times. The relentlessly happy, upbeat tempo works wonders along with a wonderful female backup chorus. Bobby's voice is in perfect form for "Wildwood Days." His voice is energetic and full of masculine warmth. Who could ask for anything more?
"The Cha-cha-cha" sports a Latin beat; and "A World Without Love" shows us how well Bobby could cover a classic Beatles tune. "Jingle Bell Rock" comes off as a masterpiece; Bobby Rydell sings this along with Chubby Checker and the number comes off without a hitch! Awesome!
The CD ends with a track called "A Message From Bobby." This was originally on a 45 rpm record that came along as a bonus with a 33 rpm record. Bobby uses "A Message From Bobby" to thank his fans and reminisce a bit about his recent successes.
The liner notes include the song credits and Jeff Tamarkin contributes an informative essay about Bobby and these wonderful songs.
Bobby Rydell fans can rejoice that his greatest works for Cameo are here on this CD. I also recommend this CD as an excellent starting point for people who want to get to know Bobby's artistry for the first time. We are all much better off for Bobby sharing his talents with us; and hopefully Bobby will continue to perform as only he can for many years to come.
