Music Reviews of Good & Rare 2
Music Review: Vol. 2 just as good as Vol. 1
Rating: 5 Stars
As I reviewed for Vol. 1, this is a cd compilation that takes some of Bing's lesser known - but still very good - songs and gives an opportunity to be heard again. Bing did many things so it's not a surprise that some of his songs would get lost in the shuffle. Between the radio shows and appearances, movies, records and later tv there are many songs that sadly didn't the attention they deservered. This series aims to change all that. Some of my favorites on this release are the songs he does with Donald O'Connor (If There's Anybody There and Back in the Old Routine) and the 2 he sings with his son Gary (Cornbelt Symphony and The Call of the South)Music Review: Great But Not Solid
Rating: 4 Stars
I bought this CD primarily for the two Donald O'Connor duets that were recorded for Decca in late 1953. Bing and D O'C had worked together (and quite well) in a couple of movies and I was glad to see these sides on CD. Interestingly, they are enjoyable but somewhat pedestrian...lyrically and melodically. Bing and Donald gel well together. Just wish they had been given some different material to work with. Some other interesting tracks are scattered throughout including a healthy serving of duets with Gary Crosby. A great addition for the Bing collector.Music Review: A 1950's Crosby Treat
Rating: 5 Stars
This disk, just as volume 1 of "Good & Rare", offers a fine collection, in excellent sound, of Crosby rarities of the 1950's. It is lovingly packaged. I heartily recommend both disks.
