CD ReviewsTwo by Johnny Mercer Mark Andrew Lawrence | Toronto | 09/29/2004 (2 out of 5 stars) "TEXAS LI'L DARLIN' with music by Robert Emmett Dolan and lyrics by Johnny Mercer was what we call a lucky hit. It opened on Broadway to mixed reviews but lasted 6 months due to the fact that only one other hit musical appeared that season (GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES.) Decca's 10-inch LP covered eight key songs from the mostly forgettable score. The record soon went out of print and by the 1970s was commanding $200 a copy or more. So this might be worth picking up as an "investment."
The CD is paired with the short selection of songs Johnny Mercer and Gene DePaul wrote for a 1956 movie musical YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM IT. This was a musical remake of the 1934 oscar winner IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT with Junbe Allyson as the runaway heiress and Jack Lemmon as the reporter. The film wa not a success and the score yielded not hits but it's a pleasant listen. Stubby Kaye leads the singing in "Howdy Friends and Neighbours" while The Four Aces sing the title song." |
