Too safe and friendly for my liking, but beautiful nonetheless.
Wow. I was familiar with some of the songs, of course. But the whole short album was a bit of a surprise. What a fun, loose and playful recording! Sometimes more jazzy, sometimes nearly rock and roll. Great fun and quintessentially 1950s.
Iconic songs, no doubt. I however struggle to enjoy the album. There's too much of a feeling of sameness. I also find out quite noisy, and that combination with the singer's voice just doesn't really do it for me.
