| | Hard To Find Pop Instrumentals, Vol. 2 CD (3 Customer Reviews)
Hard to Find Pop Instrumentals, Vol. 2 is a 21-song collection of instrumentals from the early '50s to the late '60s. The disc is overflowing with memorable memories drawn from a wide range of styles, including Western themes ("Apache" by Jorgen Ingmann and "The Bonanza Theme" by Al Caiola), jazz ("Alley Cat" by the improbably named Bent Fabric & His Piano), middle-of-the-road rock ("No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In") by the T-Bones and "Music to Watch Girls By" by the Bob Crewe Generation), cornball pop ("Yakety Sax" by Boots Randolph and "I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman" by Whistling Jack Smith), south-of-the-border pop ("Mexico" by Bob Moore and "I Want to Be Happy Cha Cha" by the always entertaining Enoch Light), and TV and movie themes ("Dragnet" by Ray Anthony and "Bandstand Boogie" by Les Elgart). This disc is fun from beginning to end and sure to appeal to easy listening aficionados who were current when these songs were current, as well as hipsters who are a couple of years too late on the exotica bandwagon. Most of all, the disc will appeal to music lovers who love a nice melody and an interesting arrangement. Hard to Find Pop Instrumentals, Vol. 2 is rife with both. ~ Tim Sendra
The follow-up to "Volume 1" in this pop instrumental series features 21 hard-to-find songs (14 tracks made the Top 20). This CD will be a must-have for collectors of popular and instrumental music of the '50s and '60s. Includes a detailed 8-page booklet,

When Charlotte Church, the child with the voice of an angel, became an adult preferring pop music, there was a gap in the market for a group of children singing with clear, angelic voices, a gap that was filled by the production of three boys and three girls, collectively known as Angelis. Selected from choirs around the U.K. including the Royal Scottish National Opera and the New London Children's Choir, Moray West, Joe Martin, Sam Adams Nye, Natalie Grace Chua, Camilla Seale, and Amy Dow, all aged between 11 and 14, were brought together by Simon Cowell, a man who rarely missed an opportunity to fill any gaps in the market and handed to producer Steve Mac, known for his work with Il Divo and Westlife. With both eyes open to the time of year for the release and the once-per-year album purchases of many people, they covered religious songs "Pie Jesu," "Silent Night," "Morning Has Broken," and "O Holy Night" quite well: after hearing them in church, one might want to hear them sung beautifully at home. "Somewhere over the Rainbow" is also here, done more in the style of Eva Cassidy than Judy Garland, along with Enya's "May It Be" and Sarah McLachlan's "Angel," but however beautifully sung, there is only one pace throughout -- slow -- and after ...

Ok, so the name Athens Boys Choir can be a bit deceiving but you can’t blame Harvey Katz, a Jewish Transsexual man living in the Deep South, for having a sense of humor about the whole ordeal. This “choir” is a one man lyrical machine gun with spitfire unapologetic spoken word and hip hop that transforms even the most skeptical into into spoken-word loving, transsexual embracing, Athens Boys Choir fans. Katz has been touring as the Athens Boys Choir since 2003, hitting the stage with such ...
