Given the track record of actors-turned-singers, it's easy to be suspicious that Danny Aiello's 2004 album I Just Wanted to Hear the Words is nothing but a vanity project, which he himself admits in the liner notes. But in those very liner notes he argues against that idea, claiming that he's been singing for years, long before he became an actor, and he just never had the "guts" to make a go of it professionally until now. Instead, he sang at family parties and weddings, or afterhours at the nightclub where he worked as a bouncer, which gives a pretty good indication of what I Just Wanted to Hear the Words is. It's a mellow, likeable, and not particularly remarkable set of standards sung in the style of Sinatra, and it gets by on personality as much as skill. Which isn't to say that Aiello doesn't have skill, since he does, but his choice of material, his arrangements, and his phrasing are so safe, so familiar that the only thing that distinguishes the album is Aiello's personality, how he inhabits the songs. And that's where it gets tricky, because if you listened to the album without knowing it was Aiello the actor, you'd likely think that it's the work of an ingratiating wedding singer. When you know it's Aiello the actor, you tend to view it a little more kindly, impressed that it's not embarrassing like some other records by actors, yet mostly cutting it slack because you already like the guy. Even so, I Just Wanted to Hear the Words is unlikely to gather too many repeat plays since it's so similar to other albums by better singers -- namely, Sinatra -- that there's little reason to put it on at home. But it does suggest that it would be fun to see Aiello sing in a club sometime. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

4 stars Where has this guy been?
I remember Danny Aiello from what seems years and years ago. Wasn't he always the tough guy, the hood, the guy that was the loser in the film? What a shame he wasn't singing in those days. And what a fine selection of oldies like "I'm confessin'(That I Love You)" and "One for my Baby (and one more for the Road)" that really brings a warm spot inside an old man. But for a rough spot or so he should have five stars. We need to hear more from Danny.

5 stars A GREAT CD!!! Congratulations Danny!!!
Danny Aiello is not only a GREAT actor, but a WONDERFUL singer as well. I absolutely LOVED this CD from the minute I heard the opening song. I had first heard Mr. Aiello sing a few bars of a song on a Frank Sinatra Birthday Celebration Special and wondered why he hadn't recorded any songs professionally. I really enjoyed listening to his styling and phrasing...... he does have a very nice voice and his honesty really comes across. I LOVED the song selections offered on this CD. Hearing these songs brought back so many fond memories for me. I am so glad to see that Mr. Aiello is keeping the art of crooning alive and am looking forward to his future CD releases. I highly recommend this CD for anyone who appreciates the great art of crooning and GREAT music from a very talented singer. Thanks Danny!!!

Glenn Hughes is the former bassist of Deep Purple and Pat Thrall was voted Best New Talent of 1980 by Guitar Player Magazine. The fruit of a one-off collaboration between ex-Deep Purple bassist/singer Glenn Hughes and journeyman guitarist Pat Thrall, Hughes/Thrall is full of the energy of early-'80s rock. With lyrics like "You got the power/Turn on the light" sung in best Ian Gillan fashion and buoyed by relentless grooves and Thrall's virtuosic guitar, this album is an overlooked gem. Thrall's use of the guitar synthesizer is very interesting. Throughout the album, he combines the ...
