Free Music Notes for Romancing the 60's
Free Music Review: We Go Way, Way Back...and Here We Still Are--Amazing!
Hit: 5 Stars
The years fall away as these songs work their magic. I can still remember being 12 years old and visiting a friend who, while we were looking at baseball cards, decided to turn on his older brother's record player. "Rag Doll" happened to be on the platter, and something about that soaring falsetto and the song's poignancy captured my heart. As I listen to this incredible man's newest release over 40 years later, I realize that my heart has never quite been freed. The genius of this recording is that they didn't do what I feared, try to mask the "Sound of Frankie Valli" with over-production and background singers. Apparently, they had the wisdom to realize that there was absolutely no need. Valli has proven again and again over the years that great talent is truly timeless. The choice of songs, the respectful and beautiful arrangements (Gaudio HAD to have a huge hand in this, right?!) and Frankie's amazing voice and masterful phrasing make this a wonderful testament to a great career. Time has moved on and on, and my musical tastes have changed, but if I live to be 100, I'll never forget that Saturday afternoon in my friends basement, and that sad girl in the hand-me-down clothes.Free Music Review: Frankie Valli: Still Fantastic
Hit: 5 Stars
Frankie Valli was the first musician I ever got into. I remember being 4 years old and sneaking down to the basement so I could play my Dad's records. Everytime I found myself reaching for my Dad's four record set of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and sitting there for hours enjoying myself to no end. Now at 25 years old, I get to hear my first musical hero come back to the music scene with a new album of classics. It is fantastic to hear this man, now in his '70's, with virtually no studio enhancments sound as good as he does. To the diehard fans, you will love this.
To those who think this is dissapointing or that it sucks, I think you need to go back and really listen to the record. If you're a true fan, you can find delight in this.
To the REAL fans...Buy this. It's fantastic.
Free Music Review: Frankie Valley Romances the 60's
Hit: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this remarkable collection. Being born in the 70's I was not around when the originals were recorded, however, the song selection is great because I found out that I knew songs I didn't even know that I knew! Music is what you make of it and this CD is music at it's finest with a real orchestra and conductors guiding them. I do not buy records expecting them to jump at me, I jump at them and this one was well worth the jump. It's perfect listening music for romance, cleaning, dinner guests, driving etc. due to the pure innocence of the music and the relaxing voice of Mr. Frankie Valley, I rate this CD 5 out of 5.Free Music Review: Triumph for the Jersey Boy
Hit: 5 Stars
In the wake of the megasuccess of the play Jersey Boys, the story of Frankie Valli, the man himself puts his inimitable stamp on classics from the 60s, with impeccable production from Bob Gaudio, an original Four Season. The singing is emotional, the orchestrations are beautifully complex, and the songs are timeless. One highlight is the guest appearance of the cast of Jersey Boys, singing background on--what else?--"On Broadway." My personal favorite is "Any Day Now," and "Spanish Harlem" is another winner. Listen for Paul Shaffer and Will Lee from the Letterman band, among the all-star lineup of musicians.Free Music Review: Frankie Valli makes these classics his own
Hit: 5 Stars
Every one of these classic songs sounds fresh and new..Frankie Valli is not just singing cover versions of these hits....he has made each track his own ...Some may find they do not like some tracks as well as they like the original , after all these are pretty great songs in the original form , but some sound even better than the originals...But one thing is certain they all have the Frankie Valli touch..And no 73 year old singer should sound this good...
