Free Music Review: WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL!
Hit: 5 Stars
Jay & The Americans produced great music in their day; and this CD has some of their very best tunes! They had a fantastic ability to make any number meaningful, strong and memorable with their sophisticated phrasing and their keen sense of timing. Even after the Jay Traynor was replaced by David Black (who took on the name of Jay Black so the group could keep its name), these artists still had awesome hits! The quality of the sound on this CD is excellent and I like that artwork, too.
"Tonight," a show tune from "West Side Story;" gets the royal treatment from Jay & The Americans; they sing this without skipping a beat and that's grand. The backup singers harmonize well--not Jay & The Americans ever needed backup, but they do sound pretty good anyway. "She Cried" is an impressive ballad; and listen for "Dawning" with its energetic arrangement. "Only In America" got lots of airplay when it was released by this group; it made the airwaves sizzle and it still sounds every bit as good today! "Only In America" is a major highlight of this album. "Come Dance with Me" is very well done; and I really like "Come A Little Bit Closer." "Come A Little Bit Closer" by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart practically belongs to this fine group and they never miss a beat!
"Cara Mia" is my very favorite number by Jay & The Americans;" they perform this with panache and I'm very impressed. This number leaves nothing to be desired--this is all THAT good. "Some Enchanted Evening" comes from "South Pacific" and these young men do a fine rendition of this tune--I love it! "Why Can't You Bring Me Home" features Jay & The Americans doing yet another wonderful job; and there's a major gem in their rendition of "Crying." "(He's) Raining in My Sunshine" is sad yet beautiful as they sing this to perfection--and beyond! "What Will My Mary Say" is another cover that is so very poignant when Jay & The Americans deliver it faultlessly.
"This Magic Moment" stuns me with its natural beauty; what a love song this is! "Hushabye" showcases Jay & The Americans yet again; and they do a fine job on "Walkin' in the Rain." Terrific! "Do I Love You?" has quite a beat; and the Italian version of "She Cried" is very beautiful. "Come a Little Bit Closer" is well done--even though this version is in Spanish it just plain sounds so good I think you'll enjoy it anyway! "Things Are Changing" is also brilliantly performed by Jay & The Americans.
Jay & The Americans will never be forgotten; they produced so much and we are better off for their having shared their talents with us. This is a fine single CD compilation and it's also a great starter CD for people just getting into the artistry of Jay & The Americans.
