Various Music For A Bachelor's Den, Volume 1 (1995)
1995 DCC Compact Classics, Inc.\nReleased May 2, 1995\n\nAMG Review: As space age bachelor pad music goes, these were among the most widely heard examples of the genre. Over half of these 15 cuts, in fact, were hit singles, including such smashes as "Quiet Village" (Martin Denny), "So Rare" (Jimmy Dorsey), "Moritat" (Dick Hyman, and later to be changed into "Mack the Knife" by Bobby Darin), "Yellow Bird" (Arthur Lyman), "Theme from Route 66" (Nelson Riddle), and "Moonglow and Love Theme from Picnic" (Morris Stoloff). This means that experts might sniff and deride this collection as too "mainstream." Popular lounge music, however, was no less interesting than collectible lounge music, and perhaps more so. Which means that this is a good sampler of the style that was a subordinate but notable part of American popular music in the late 1950s and early 1960s, especially if you weren't around when these hits were played on AM radio. -- Richie Unterberger\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nWill take you back to a different time., January 26, 2000 \nReviewer: D. L. from Hamilton, Ontario. Canada \nThis cd takes me back to a time when my friends dad had an actual Hi Fi player. They were just new at the time, but did they ever sound great. The type of music during this era was exactly as it is on this cd. First off this has a great sound. The songs are very exotic, early 60s type lounge. "Route 66" takes me right out on the highway and into the desert. "Once in a While" really expoits the stereo picture as it was definitely just coming out at that time. The theme from the Honeymooners, Sunset Strip, Wow...... Martinis and early 60s furniture, bamboo chairs, and wall lamps all come to mind when listening to this cd. Definitely an odd, likeable collection of rare gems. It will standout in your collection. \n
This jazz cd contains 15 tracks and runs 44min 19sec.
