CD Reviews

Save your Money and get the Ben Bagley Recordings

Craig J. Poff | Beaufort, South Carolina United States | 10/03/2005

(2 out of 5 stars)

"Sounds like it was done in somebody's basement with only a computer for an "orchestra". One song sounds exactly the same as the next. Obviously, as a "rarities", there are few well known songs here, even to a an R&H geek like myself, but once heard, all are quickly forgotten. Stick to the 5 (and counting?) Ben Bagley recordings of Rodgers and Hart, where they put their heart into the recordings and provide (unlike this set, zero documentation), historical background about the songs and a bit about whey they never saw the light of day.

I did not do one star, only to keep encouraging people to mine the Great American Songbook for more lost treasures. However, as any prospector would tell you, some times things don't "pan out".
