So, I’ll make a little critic on the album shown here. I’m going to parts diving them in Cover, and Arrangement. Let’s begin.
Cover: so I’ll be quick. The cover is very interesting and nice, having a cartoonish style, as the Disney one, with the blue bird from the song and the song tittle and album in the top of all. At the end of the road there’s a mountain and a sun. Maybe it’s represents the 12 songs. I give it 6 of 10
Arrangement: after listening this album, I thought a lot of things.
“Zip-a-dee-doo-dah” is a slow and gospel tune, in my case giving me the creeps, but not of fear, of excitement and the creeps of loving this tune.
“Why do lovers break each other’s hearts?” Is a good redemption to Frankie Lymon and The Teenager’s tune “why do fools fall in love?” The first time I listened to this I thought it was a good tune, but when I listened to Frankie Lymon’s one and again the Powers-Greenwich composition i thought it was such a good thing, like a redemption well done.
“Let the good times roll” is a good one, playing very the horns and the drums, with a good lyric. Truly a good one, but not the best.
“My heart beat a little bit faster” is a good tune by Darlene love, and I must admit that the slowness of it makes perfect. I would classify this as one of my less favorite truly, but for you it may be something lovely and pleasant.
“Jimmy baby” is a good one. I would put it under the third one, but coming from the pen of Jackie DeShannon, it deserves a few listens to love.
“Baby (i love you)” composed by Spector, I would put this one as a gospel be, but not at the level of the first song of the album.
“The white cliffs of Dover” is truly a good redemption/cover by Bob B Soxx and the blue jeans to Vera Lynn’s song. Having a fast tempo, as a country style, this one feels magic and catchy, with the horns at the instrumental break and at the end, makes it the best, far away.
“This land is your land” sounds like a kid’s song, very joyful and giving the message of sharing and living together for making a peaceful world, as I may see it.
“Dear (here comes my baby)” is the best compositions of Spector alone, truly, a good twister and a lovely story, knowing a girl and having good time with people, while in the real world you can dance it as if there’s no tomorrow.
“I shook the world” is again, a good one from DeShannon, having good vocals from Darlene Love, which a good rhythm. A good one.
“Everything’s gonna be fine” is a good slowly one. I put myself at a smoky bar, a jazz cafe in the dark, with someone singing this with pain in himself. I think the backside is the same arrangement as in “Harry and Milt meet Hal B” instrumental track.
“Dr. Karla;’s office” is like a Halloween tune, with screams and horns over there, and trumpets, playing like if you were crazy. I think is a good way to think your psychologist after very much sessions.
So… my ending pointing is 8/10. A i could say, a good album under the Philles Records label.
