A big bang with a big finale and nothing in between

"This cd starts out with a big Dean Martin favorite and finishes (in the next to last rack) with a big Billy May piece full of attitude. In between those two tracks is little more than fluff meant to take up time (with the exception, of course, of Nat King Cole's number). If you're looking for some classic music to take you from humor to sleepiness to spunk, I recommend this cd. If you're looking for nothing more than one good song--I recommend this cd. If you're looking for much more than that, I recommend you find a better, more consistent compilation."

UNEVEN BUT GOOD

"THERE IS NO REAL RHYME OR REASON WHY THESE PARTICULAR SONGS WERE CULLED TOGETHER FOR THIS MUSIC OF LOUNGE MUSIC. SAM BUTERA AND THE WITNESSES COULD NOT BE MORE DIFFERENT THAN APRIL STEVENS, WHO IS NOTHING LIKE LES BAXTER, ETC, ETC. BUT I GUESS THAT IS WHAT MAKES THIS CD WORK. IT DOESN'T LIMIT ITSELF TO, SAY, "EXOTICA", OR "CROONING", YOU GET A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING TO LISTEN TO. YOU'LL NEVER GO WRONG WITH A CD THAT HAS SONGS BY NAT KING COLE OR DEAN MARTIN ON IT."
