Worth Every Penny!

"If you like the fantastic acting of Robert Mitchum, you are sure to love this collection. This guy sang like he acted, with that "I don't care really..." kind of laid-back attitude. But you suspect he did care--very much--and his countless movie performances always were a testament to this. The same goes with his singing. He had a fine voice for a "non singer" that really suited a number of the easy listening/pop/light country songs on the first half of the album, such as "In My Place" which is a comical tune that effectively says "mind your own business". He does a great job on the pop hit "Sunny"...and offers an energetic rendition (two arrangements actually) of "Thunder Road", the song he co-wrote for one of his movies. All of these and others here are enjoyable. I must admit I'm not much of a Calypso fan...and the last half of this compilation is totally that, containing all of the songs recorded for his only other album in this genre. But even so, this album is worth every penny. This guy should have recorded a few more songs in between all of those great movies. Fans are fortunate this CD is still available. Buy it!"
Outstanding
