Music reviews of The Best of the Orlons Cameo Parkway 1961-1966
Music Review: wonderful music from The Orlons
Rating: 5 Stars
The Best of the Orlons Cameo Parkway 1961-1966 showcases some of the best music The Orlons ever made. The Orlons had a style and a sound that was meaningful and nothing short of excellent. They could sing just about anything they ever wanted to sing, too. The overall quality of the sound on this CD is quite good; and I love the artwork even if it is somewhat standard for this CD series.
"I'll Be True" features The Orlons front and center; this doo-wop sounding tune sounds fresh and new even in our times. The Orlons perform this love song with panache and it makes a great opening number for this album. "The Wah Watusi" was clearly one of their best hits ever; and just one listen will tell you why! They sing and play this to perfection--although wisely the musicians never try to steal the show away from the people singing and that's wonderful. The music makes good use of the percussion, too. "Don't Hang Up" was another tune that really made the airwaves sizzle back in the day; whenever I hear this number I find myself tapping my foot to the beat no matter where I am! "Don't Hang Up" is another major highlight of this album. In addition, "South Street" has an awesome rhythm that stuns me; I'm mesmerized by this tune and I could never tire of hearing The Orlons perform "South Street." Again, they use the percussion and drums very well and they sing this without ever letting go of a single superfluous note! I'm very impressed.
"Cement Mixer" just plain sounds good; and I really like "Don't Throw Your Love Away." "Don't Throw Your Love Away" is a prime example of The Orlons harmonizing to perfection--and beyond! The sound quality isn't quite as good as I would have liked it to be but this track is enjoyable nonetheless. "Bon-doo-wah" is fun for dancing even today; and there's another gem in "Shimmy Shimmy." "Shimmy Shimmy" sounds terrific every time I hear it and The Orlons are really at the top of their game as they do this one up right! "Rules of Love" has that 1960's rock and roll flavor that I love so much; and there's "Heartbreak Hotel" which they ace as effortlessly as if it were mere breathing! Of course we know it really wasn't all that easy; their talent always carried them through.
"Goin' Places" has a great beat; The Orlons handle complex tempo and key changes like the pros they always were and still remain! "Don't You Want My Lovin'" rocks while giving us a poignant song; and "Spinning Top" shines bright, too. The CD ends strong with The Orlons performing "Mr. Twenty One." "Mr. Twenty One" is powerful and it leaves me wanting more.
The Orlons were incredible and this CD certainly does them the justice they deserve. This is wonderful for their fans and it makes a strong starter CD for newcomers to their memorable artistry.
