CD Reviews

Almost a gem

M. C. Webbon | Barton-onSea, Hampshire, England. | 09/05/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"For seventeen tracks, despite a little crackle here or there, I thought I had found a little gem. Many titles,new to me, sung in the romantic Johnny Desmond manner, reminiscent of Dick Haymes. Not for the first time I wondered why he has not received greater acclaim. The highlight, for me, is " In Love In Vain ", which captures perfectly, the agony of unrequited love. From track eighteen, however, it could have been a different singer; a completely different mood ; a completely different style. This is not to say they are not well sung, although, in the context of the first part of the CD, they are not to my taste. Why do CD compilers do this sort of thing ? Maybe others will find it acceptable. Personally, it spoiled what had promised to be a real gem."
