This version of "The Roving Kind" from down under is more or less contemporaneous with the hit version by Guy Mitchell in the US. (By way of comparison, I went and found the Mitchell version on YouTube. It was preceded by a bizarre commercial for a product called Poo-Pouri... but I digress.) It is considerably looser in its attack than the Mitch MiIller produced Columbia issue. In fact, after an awkward few bars at the beginning, the Ray Quintette settles into a nice jump groove that closely emulates the early Nat King Cole sound, including group vocals by the musicians interwined with the Lester Sisters efforts. There is a mild disconnect between the band and the Sisters sound, but not enough to spoil the track. It was a pleasant surprise.

"I'll Never Be Free" is really more of the Lester Sisters' vehicle than the Ray Quintette's. The accompaniment is mostly limited to sparse support from what sounds like an accordion. The tune is an ordinary ballad and not nearly as interesting as the first side.
