CD Reviews

Man Like Wow is Right!
Rave On Reviews | Victoria, BC | 09/09/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"In the current world of `American Idols' and the many teen pop sensations, we often forget how long this has been going on. Tommy Sands was on the cover of more teen magazine's during the mid to late fifties than any other teen idol. He had a respectful, clean image and he had tons of talent to go along with his high public appeal.



Raven Records from Australia brings together 33 tracks from 1957-1963. All of Tommy's hits are Included 'Teenage Crush' (US #2), 'Goin' Steady', 'Bigger Than Texas' and 'The Worryin' Kind' and many more. This package includes rare singles and album tracks on CD for the first time. Some of the many highlights include the show stopper live version of 'Sinner Man' from the `Sands At The Sands'. Then we have the very sweet vocals of `My Love Song' and the rocking on `A Bundle Of Dreams'. Very pleased to see the other side of `Teenage Crush`, the rare B-side `Hep Dee Hootie (Cutie Wootie)'. They have some of Tommy's self penned songs such as the title track of the CD `Man, Like Wow!', `Sing Boy Sing', `Your Daddy Wants To Do Right' and Tommy's coolest single `I Ain't Gettin' Rid Of You' and `Is It Ever Gonna Happen?'.



Excellent liner notes by Brian de Courcy and a 12 page color booklet with great photos of Tommy within that period of time. Tommy wasn't `just another pretty face'. He is one of the most talented singer/actor and stage performers of the 1950`s.

A total of 77 minutes!
