Good dance music for the young at heart

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is very contemporary sounding ballroom. It is all vocal. There are few orchestral strings, but lots of guitar and brass. The beat is strong and the tempos are appropriate for the suggested dance in all but a few cases (noted below after the title and duration). Tracks 1 & 9 on disc Two are too long for most of us. Both are more than 5 minutes long.



The case and the discs are mislabeled, so that disc two on the cover is marked as "CD 1" on the disc itself (GraceNotes pulls it up properly as disc two).
