1001 Albums Summary

A joyous good-times record with simple, beautiful harmonies and Prima’s masterful handling of light romantic stories set against smooth jazz and big band backdrops. Will serve no purpose to those seeking music with emotional depth and/or edge. The Wildest! is happy songs for happy people.

No doubting Costello could write a hook but this is rock n roll by numbers that leaves me cold.

Lovely thick and strident organ melodies but as a whole it feels like it’s going through the motion of standards.

It’s a journey.
