Donovan's Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Oldies
by: Donovan

Release Date March 30, 1999
Donovan Leitch was an icon, of sorts, of the sixties. He was a part of the hippie/folk music movement that began back then. Bob Dylan was one of the big movers & shakers of this movement & many, including Donovan, took up this banner. Donovan was definitely at the front of this movement for a period of time & had some major hits, some of them classic & timeless. This is supposedly the original version with bonus tracks added. Well, it is & it isn't; at least two of the tracks that were on the original vinyl version, as many others have stated, aren't the versions that was on that vinyl record.

In 1969, when the original vinyl version was released, this album went to #4 on the album charts, which was the highest ... Read More:

Black & White Night

by: Roy Orbison

Release Date February 07, 2006
I've never really listed to Roy Orbison but I saw this concert on TV and I had to ge the CD. He has several other musicians playing with him and the music is great. I also have the DVD and prefer it over the CD.

Best of the Animals

CD-Charts > Music > Oldies
by: The Animals

Release Date October 25, 1990
The Animals: Eric Burdon on vocals, Chas Chandler on bass, John Steel on drums, Hilton Valentine on guitar, Alan Price and Dave Rowberry on organ and piano. And this group made some of the best blues rock music of the 1960s. This CD includes works recorded in 1964 and 1965.

It starts out with the classic "House of the Rising Sun." This is rawly sung and sung in a compelling manner by Eric Burdon. He had one of the truest blues voices of the 1960s among younger singers. The organ of Alan Price adds a really neat element to this song, with foreboding lines such as "[this house] has been the ruin of many a poor boy, and Lord I'm one."

I also enjoy their effort at singing Chuck Berry. His "Around and Around" is a wonderful little ... Read More:

The Definitive Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Oldies
by: Louis Armstrong

Release Date January 24, 2006
Even though I given this a Five Star rating, I know that not everyone has the capacity to like Satchmo. However, for those music lovers who love the blues, love classics, and love pioneers of great music, this is an awesome collection from a great artist.

The majority of adults that I know have heard "What a Wonderful World". Even if it was a remake version, it is a great song.

His duet with Bing Crosby, "Gone Fishin'", is one of my favorite summer songs.

Speaking of summer,"When it's Sleepytime Down South.', is a wonderfully relaxing addition as a live cut.

Classic versions of, "Ain't Misbehavin'", "Cabaret", and :Hello Dolly" add incredible excitement.

I could go through the entire CD and ... Read More:

Songs That Got Us Through WWII

CD-Charts > Music > Oldies
by: Various Artists

Release Date March 16, 1990
This excellent album contains eighteen songs that were popular during the WW2 years. The album starts with that well-known hit Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (performed by The Andrews Sisters), and then moves between jazzy hits (such as G.I. Jive and Yours). I really enjoyed hearing again some of the songs that used to be so close to my father's heart, including Long Ago (And Far Away) and The White Cliffs of Dover.

I must say that I found this to be a very good album. I miss my GI father, who passed away a year ago, and I felt like I captured a little piece of him when I listened to the music he loved all those years ago. So, if you like that great Big Band sound, or want to get a glimpse into the world of WW2, then get this album. I highly recommend it!

Wow, this Greatest Hits CD is wonderful - especially love "Woman, Woman" (of course), and "Could I", a beautiful song which was written by Gary Puckett. Took me right down memory lane, back to the 60's!

Italian Love Songs

CD-Charts > Music > Oldies
by: Dean Martin

Release Date August 28, 2001
Dean Martin was always eager to be a Pop Star, have radio hits, and be beloved. He sang with a Bing Crosby croon, a European angst, and a grin a wink that others still try to emulate. Elvis Presley, the so-called rebel, took Dean's deep throated swing to tenor and lows and made his ballads a fine copy..just listen to Elvis's early attempts. Pure Dean.
This is a compendium of Dean's Italian songs. Dean always sounded comfortable with the dramatic lyrics of an Italian love song, even more than contempory compadre Frank. + Dean had humor that others couldn't match. Frank Sinatra may have been the consummate saloon singer, but Dean was the best at making people at ease.
This CD gathers bunches of his Italian amore signatores. There are the hits, "That's ... Read More:
