Additional Ultra-Lounge: Wild, Cool & Swingin' - Artist Series Vol 1 Information
|
The back of this two-CD set may say "File under Lounge," but frankly, lounging will be the very last thing on your mind once you put Louis and Keely on. It's simply impossible to stand still while the duo, backed by Sam Butera and the Witnesses, gets going. When Keely sings "Hey boy, I can really cook," there's a tiny chance she's talking about something that takes place in the kitchen, but the galloping bass line behind her says that she really belongs to the dance floor. Whoo-hee! Cole Porter's "Just One of Those Things" is taken at a frenetic pace--do these people ever pause to breathe? The bulk of this collection was recorded between 1957 and 1962, and it makes for an explosive document of a now-gone era when men in sharp suits hung out at the Copa, babes with pointy rocket-launcher breasts at their arms. The sheer effortlessness of it all is still supremely exciting. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

This two CDs' half of his integrale Capitol recordings (8-Cds Box set including Keely Smith and Sam butera's integrale Capitol too; Bear Family Records). Great. I like them. And you.
the reason i HAD to buy this CD, was to get mine back. i brought this to a house-warming dinner party & everyone LOVED it - including the host.Now they can enjoy Louie Prima & Keely Smith anytime they want - and I got my CD back. :)you'll find yourself singin' & swingin' along too.
i just started to appreciate louis prima's band-this remastered double cd offers an excellent listening experience.
Songs from Louis Prima and Keely Smith with Sam Butera and the Witnesses. Songs are great. Compilation includes songs from "The Wildest", "The Call of the Wildest" and "The Wildest Show at Tahoe".
I can't get enough of these CD's. I was skeptical about buying a compilation CD set for fear it wouldn't be good. but I was wrong. I do Swing dance and Lindy Hop, and I think some of the tempos to these songs are a bit fast for dancing, but excellent for listening to when you just want to be in a good mood. Keely has a great voice, and Louis is just plane hysterical :D
