| | Bing Crosby Gold CD Bing Crosby Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
In the first half of the 20th century, Crosby was a media icon on the order of Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. From the 1930's on, his smooth, gently suave, and subtly jazz-influenced vocals sold millions of records, and in turn influenced many pop and jazz singers who came after. What distinguishes GOLD from other Crosby collections is the presence of the many fine duet performances, such as those with jazz immortal Louis Armstrong, vocal group Andrews Sisters, and film star Jane Wyman (!). And once again, GOLD displays Crosby's remarkable, genial versatility, from Irish and Hawaiian tunes to dreamy ballads and gorgeous Christmas songs. Gold Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  KING of the CROONERS
Michael Buble might be carrying on the tradition, but here is the man who started it! Bing Crosby had more Number One hits than any other singer in history [38], and many of them are represented in this 2 disc set [GOLD]
THat warm, deep, melodious voice can be heard on a good cross section of his early hits, through to some of his great 'film' songs, and duets, that easy relaxed style again making it sound far easier than it really is!Bing was, is, and shall always remain, 'The Master'!

Purchase Gold CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Andy Williams Days Of Wine And Roses/In The Arms Of Love CD (2001)
Gold songs
 $10.69   
Originally released on Columbia (8815) & Columbia (9333). Includes liner notes by Mark Marymont.
This release collects a pair of mid-1960s records from velvet-voiced vocalist Andy Williams. DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES, originally issued in '63, was Williams's most successful album, and it spent weeks at BILLBOARD's top spot, remaining on the charts for 107 weeks. The 12 songs here, which include "What Kind of Fool Am I?," a jazzy take on "You Are My Sunshine," the hit single "Can't Get Used to Losing You," and the title track, feature spare, brassy arrangements that sound ...
| | Frank Sinatra No One Cares CD (1959) Remastered
Gold album
$10.95 (MP3 Available for Download)
This is part of Capitol Records "Entertainer Of The Century" series.
This 1959 recording stands with ONLY THE LONELY and IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS as one of Sinatra's premier albums of "saloon songs"--those songs in which he takes the role of the jilted lover drowning his sorrows in drink and telling his sad story to anyone who'll listen (most likely the bartender, as in ONLY THE LONELY's "One For My Baby"). When it comes to elegant displays of heartsick despair, latter-day crooners like Chris Isaak can't hold a candle to the old master. Sinatra inhabits these songs so convincingly it's hard to believe his real life was the lurid, Hefneresque tale that it actually was.

| | Frank Sinatra Close To You & More! CD (1957) Remastered
Gold CD music
$11.79  (MP3 Available for Download)
Recorded between March 8 and October 1, 1956. Includes liner notes by Pete Welding.
This is part of Capitol Records "Entertainer Of The Century" series.
1950s Sinatra on Capitol with Nelson Riddle. You thought you'd heard it all, but the label's 2002 Sinatra remastered series came along to prove you wrong with the long-awaited reissue of CLOSE TO YOU. Unique among Sinatra and Riddle's legendary collaborations, CLOSE TO YOU found arranger/conductor Riddle slimming the orchestrations down to a small group fronted by the Hollywood String Quartet, making for an uncommonly intimate setting for Sinatra's already highly personal, communicative style.
The selection of wistful love songs is neither as bleak as the saloon songs of NO ONE CARES nor as bold as Sinatra's more swinging material. The heartbreakingly halting elocution exhibited on "P.S. I Love You," the precise, unpretentious detailing ...
| | Andy Williams Love Theme From The Godfather/The Way We Were CD (2002)
Gold MP3 Album
$10.39
In its matching up of Andy Williams titles for a two-fer release, Collectables Records has opted to combine Williams' spring 1972 album Love Theme From "The Godfather" with his spring 1974 album The Way We Were, skipping over his fall 1972 album Alone Again (Naturally) and his fall 1973 album Solitaire. (Those two are together on another disc.) The theory may have been that these two both had something to do with the movies while the two in between did not, but in fact all of these albums take the same approach, more or less. That approach is to have Williams present his interpretations of songs from the pop charts of the period. As it happens, these two albums mark significant milestones for the singer, albeit of opposite sorts. Buoyed by the success of the title track, which was Williams' last Top 40 pop hit, Love Theme From "The Godfather" was his last significant seller, his final gold album. The Way We Were, on the other hand, was a commercial disaster, Williams' first LP to miss the Billboard chart entirely since he joined Columbia Records in 1961. (It did manage a few weeks in the Cash Box chart.) This is not to say, however, that one is better than the other; Williams' long-running ...

Gold MP3 Album

Through the support of their regional fan base, Madison-based Oregon Falls has toured to the East Coast twice, and endured their fair share of hardships along the way. One of which was the "Noreaster" Storm that swept the Midwest in March of 2007. Narrowly escaping the 100+ car pile-up, they completed their Angel Kisses & Magic Tour without a scratch. The A.K.A.M. Tour was one of the many ventures that they have booked independently. OF's do-it-yourself mentality has sharpened networking skills, and also earned the deserved respect of their peers. Oregon Falls has been described as a post-hardcore band that has forged driving guitar riffs, concrete drumming, and relentless vocals together to create a refreshingly new breed of music. Their influences range from the technical guitar work of bands like Thrice, Misery Signals, and Between the Buried and Me, as well as the ear-catching melodies of Beloved, The Sleeping, and The Receiving End Of Sirens. OF's blend of catchy choruses and unyielding breakdowns has gained them attention from not only many surrounding venues, but management by Broken Spirit Club Artist Management Company. This recent signing with BSC Artist Management has spawned yet another doorway of opportunity for OF to make their way to touring full-time as a national act.Oregon Falls was formed in August of 2003. The current lineup of Josh Barraza (vocals), Ryan "Beaver" Taalbi (vocals/drums), Cameron Small (guitar), Rob Pompa (guitar), and Kevin Wiklund ...

“Marshall Ruffin is evidently some genetic experiment gone right, an amalgam of David Bromberg, Tom Waitsand Leon Redbone.”Curtis Lynch, Playgrounds Magazine“Ruffin plays guitar and sings with a prowess that most roots & blues artists develop only after many weary years on the road, yet he’s only 23!”Lisa Love, Georgia Music Hall of Fame“The dude can really sing and play – to say I was amazed by his songwriting talent, instrumental abilities and vocals would be an understatement.”Jeff Hahne, Music Editor, Creative Loafing Charlotte“Interesting thing... Marshall is so young to have the voice of such an old soul - he gets it. He's transparent when he sings, you can see right into his heart.”Rebecca Harris, Special Events Coordinator“I rarely get inspired to say ...
