CD ReviewsHow Many Artists Get BETTER Over A Stellar Career? Mel Smetko | US, Eh? | 09/30/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Not too many. Dion is definately one. Everything he's done since YO, FRANKIE has been pure rockin' GOLD, and this album is no exception. Great songs, by a GREAT artist who deserves to have more people know that he is simply BETTER THAN EVER. (PLUS a terrific DVD as a bonus). Sample these songs. Buy this record. Then go back for YO,FRANKIE, DEJA NEW, the incredible NEW MASTERS, his Blues albums--BRONX IN BLUE, and SON OF SKIP JAMES, and the best Christmas album of all-time: ROCK N' ROLL CHRISTMAS. When you're done with all that, get the DION:LIVE IN CONCERT DVD, and then find a way to see him LIVE yourself. Yeah, I guess I like Dion. He's one of my very favorite artists, but it's not just some oldies nostalgia trip---I mean, sure--he was one of the greatest of the early rockers, no doubt. But all these albums, even the covers and re-dos of his own classics are a brand new experience that equal or surpass his early work. He's never sounded better, and he's got a hipper-than-ever, blues-laden approach that just electrifies his material. He's cool, he's honest, and he's fun." Cosmic Nostalgia Terry Goldman | Kents Store, VA USA | 10/14/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Dion Dimucci is rapidly entering his eigth decade as a musical artist/icon who has had the great opportunity to know other similar artists of the Rock N' Roll world. This is a two fold purchase.You get the CD of "covers"....15 famous songs by the artists who shaped Rock AND a splendid DVD where Dion plays (superbly) and jams and reminisces about those guitar picking artists who shaped the music that would change the world. He remembers rightly the poets....Chuck Berry ("Little Rock and Roller" is the best number on the CD followed closely by Roy Orbison's "Dream Baby" and Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line." He pays homage to the guitar veterans whose work so well defined the era, James Burton, Scotty Moore and the like. He fondly recalls time spent with these founding fathers of R & R and their "Strats, Gretch's and Martin guitars" while on tour or in NY. A side note is the wonderful blues guitar playing that also helps to cement and define Dion as a master of the genre.A terrific CD with a more terrific DVD. I could listen to Dion recall his memories of the era till the cows come home." Who Knew!?! allydib | New York | 10/10/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "DION -- ??
DION -- from when I was 14 years old?? DION -- as in the BELMONTS?? DION -- like "Runaround Sue"?? Who knew (certainly not me) that this guy was a) still alive b) still around c) played such a great guitar d) had SO much history with the early stars of R&R The CD is 5 stars --- The 45 minute DVD is "10 stars". I could have listened to his stories for hours. GREAT FUN !!!!" |
