Ol' Yellow Eyes is Back - Classic Horror Movie Poster for Home Theater & Halloween Decor

This is probably a collector's item. I bought it at Amazon for the same reason I got "Dreamland" (see review). When I listened to it, immediately I felt "transported in time", back to the radio-listening I remember to love as a child, in the fifties (I was born in 1950), and to the television of the very early sixties, at my parents home.Broadway songs, Gershwin and Irving Berlin music, Garland, Clooney, Sinatra and more, songs and singers which were very popular in a time-span going from that present of my childhood back to the 1930 - 1920s. The marvelous Hollywood films of the same period allowed us, born in 1950 and later, to discover that world: we enjoyed them, became fans of those movies and of those actors, and I still enjoy them today, with wonder, as well as the music! As I enjoyed this CD. Those movies and music have gone beyond their time and became classic.Of course you can try to perform the songs with a "sound" and a "style" similar to what our "modern" ears are "used to". Or you can approach them "as they sounded" then. As we see it done nowadays with Shakespeare plays or opera, with "modern" staging. Each one may have his/her personal taste and preferences, but both approaches may be artistically sound and enjoyable, if they are professionally done. That's what I think.I like what Brent Spiner has done here. I believe he was "boldly" traveling back in time to that music. As he states in the CD cover "I recorded this with the utmost respect for the singers and songs I have loved since childhood" - and also from the cover reading, I was touched to discover that, like myself, he had a very early experience of them. Although, I guess that his experience was, very likely, much more complete than mine! I think he does a great job bringing us along to the "holodeck" and back!
