Mesmerizingly Pleasant
G. Charles Steiner | San Francisco | 10/28/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is a 2-disc album of "the very best" of the Ruby and the Romantics's collected works. Surprisingly, the entire album holds up as a contemporary pleasure, despite the nostalgic pull of the early 1960s where some arrangements remind one of songs sung by Dusty Springfield, Brenda Lee, Little Eva, or Dionne Warwick.



The first disc contains the more popular, more upbeat songs; the second disc contains the soulful ballads, and it's impossible to choose which disc is the best, except to say I didn't like the Christmas-like flavor of "Every Day Is a Holiday" on the first disc whereas on the second disc, I found all the ballads impossible not to enjoy thoroughly again and again. Then again, on the first disc there's the heartbreaking song, "By the Way," which is unmatched by any ballad on the second disc.



So it's all good, as the saying goes, and each disc satisfies according to one's mood.



The listener is especially rewarded by the wholly unforgettable "Our Day Will Come," but there are other musical pleasures here as well that one will come to treasure. Listening to Ruby and the Romantics keeps one young at heart."
