Louis Prima Review / The Everly Brothers Preview (Album 20)

(Louis Prima preview here) Jazz jazz jazz jazz jazz...It's so silly. I like jazz, but I don't think that I will ever be able to rap my head around it. Especially if there doesn't seem to be a cohesive sound or melody or tempo. It's all very confusing. Anyways, that's mostly what I feel about Louis Prima. Skills: yes. My understanding of his creative venture: no. A couple of his songs reminded me of The Jungle Book, and when Baloo seems to go all be-bop.

Favorite Songs:
     Melody: Basin Street Blues - When It's Sleepy Time Down South

Album: A Date With The Everly Brothers
Artist: The Everly Brothers
The Everly Brothers - A Date With The Everly Brothers

Release Year: 1960

"It would have been reasonable to expect the cupboard to be bare, and the first tracks recorded, "Lucille" and "Baby What Do You Want Me To Do," suggest that material was in short supply. But the radical reinterpretations showed the Everly harmonies could refresh the most familiar songs." - David Hucheon

This looks like a 60s version of a boy band. Also it's weird, in the book they usually have strange pictures (at least not what seems to be the most common picture) for an album. Weird Britts.
