Music reviews of Greatest Polka Hits Of All Time
Music Review: invigorating polkas from The Polish Prince !!!
Rating: 5 Stars
Bobby Vinton wasn't called The Polish Prince for nothing! He sang beautifully and made his Polish countrymen so proud that he was recently traveled to Poland as a guest of the Polish government. This budget priced album gives us eleven of Bobby's polka hits and there's hardly a dud in the bunch!
"The Pennsylvania Polka" sounds very energetic and Booby never misses a beat! The upbeat polka melody helps to make this number charming; and the lyrics rhyme at just the right times. "Tic-Tock Polka" is a similar number but it has its own beauty; Bobby's backup vocalists help to make this number memorable and the like the musical interlude very much. Love how Bobby cries out "woo woo!" during the musical interlude!
Listen also for "Just Because;" Bobby sings a beautiful song about how he can't stand his girlfriend any longer "just because." Bobby uses this number to celebrate his character's joy at being free of a woman who never appreciated him. There is another awesome musical interlude that blows me away with its energy and the high quality control of the number.
"That's Amore" features Bobby with a female backup chorus singing "That's Amore" to the beat of a rich polka melody; Dean Martin would be proud! This excellent, creative rendition of "That's Amore" scores a huge goal in my book. I think you'll like it, too.
The "Beer Barrel Polka" is more of a classic polka but it sounds fresh and exciting as ever when Bobby sings this in both English and Polish; the percussion adds to the arrangement and the melody is quite catchy as always with a well written polka. The "Hoop-Dee-Doo Polka" is a number that was performed earlier by the great Perry Como; but when Bobby sings this he puts his own stamp on this number with his singularly fine interpretation of the lyrics. "Hoop-Dee-Doo Polka" uses the percussion much more than Perry's version did; and this works well for this number.
The album ends nicely with "Polka Memories Medley." Bobby sings this to perfection without a superfluous note. I love that polka sound!
Overall, if you want some great, invigorating polka numbers to enjoy and maybe even dance to, you can't go wrong with this CD. Diehard polka fans will want more albums from the huge names in polka music; nevertheless I still highly recommend this album for polka fans. People who appreciate Bobby Vinton will be thrilled with this CD.
