Music reviews of Songs of the West
Music Review: THE FABULOUS FRANKIE LAINE RIDES THE WESTERN RANGE AGAIN.
Rating: 5 Stars
Five DRAMATIC Stars!! Great Western performances by the inimitable Frankie Laine. Mr Laine, a dramatic singer, composer, and musician was an accomplished big band crooner who later sang pop, jazz, and blues, influencing many who followed in the 1950s and 1960s. He sold over 250 million songs (which puts him in company with the Mariahs, Celines, and Madonnas of today) and he hit his stride singing ballads and songs with western and adventure themes, although he was not a country & western artist. Legendary producer Mitch Miller help guide Mr Laine's career into music legend status at Mercury and later at Columbia Records.
The best of the best include: a touching "3:10 to Yuma" about a determined cowboy (with lyrics not related to the movie, but very moving nonetheless), which has been my personal favorite for many years; a bracing, nuanced version about the "Gunfight at the OK Corral"; an unbelievably beautiful "Along The Navajo Trail"; and the unconditional love of "The Hanging Tree" with it's unusual conclusion: these are from the LP recording "Hell Bent for Leather" which contained studio recreations of some of Frankie's hit songs featuring the Johnny Williams Orchestra and Chorus. A smooth "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" and an updated, loping "Moonlight Gambler" are excellent. "High Noon" is an excellent updated version, as is a crackling "Mule Train". "Rawhide" is an exciting version but it is not the TV show theme version which may not be commercially available. Great performances by one of the GREATEST singers of all time. My Highest Recommendation!! Five BIG Stars. (Audio CD, 1 disk with 17 digitally remastered songs, Total time: 45:23) (Note to producers: please add the wild "Bowie Knife" and the insightful "City Boy" on the next update to complete the "Hell Bent For Leather" cycle of songs.)
