Music reviews of Deja Nu

Music Review: A Soundtrack Without a Movie
Rating: 5 Stars

Many singers that have been in the business as long as Dion loose some of their range. As Dion ages his voice has gotten better. Most of the songs on this album were written for a movie based on Dion's autobiography that Chaz Palmenteri was writing with Dion's help. Last I heard Chaz was still trying to get the financing together. The last song, the stunning acapella "If I Should Fall Behind" (written by Bruce Springsteen) is from the 1992 Dion album Dream on Fire and was added to the US release of Deja Nu at Collectable Records request. Dion also performs another Springsteen song "Book of Dreams". Both of these songs are from Springsteen's Lucky Town album. Dion makes both songs his own. Nine of the other ten songs were written or co-written by Dion. The songs are recorded the way songs were recorded in the late 50s and early 60s. Dion wrote "Shu Bop" standing on a corner of Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. It sounds like it came from the same session as Dion's 1962 top ten hit "Love Came to Me". "Hug My Radiator" was started in 1959 on the Winter Part Party tour bus. Dion opted for the bus when Buddy Holly offered him a place on the plane. The song was finished in the 1990s. My favorite song on this album is "Everyday (That I'm With You)". In a fair world it would be a hit in the year 2000. A friend has tried to categorize each of Dion's tunes, over the years, as pop or rock or blues or gospel. I told him the only way to categorize Dion's music is as a hybrid of Hank Williams country, street corner doowop, folk, R&B and blues all with an edge. You'll be singing along. The backing vocals throughout the album are just right. The band is perct. Dion rocks!

Description of Deja Nu

This new CD from Dion features the highly requested radio hit "Shu Bop." "Shu Bop" sound like a "lost" recording that could have easily been slotted between "The Wanderer" and "A Teenager In Love." Dion also honors his Doo Wop roots with "In New York City." In addition to nine original compositions by Dion, two Bruce Springsteen songs, "Book Of Dreams" and "If I Should Fall Behind" (available only on this CD) showcase Dion in a more contemporary light.
