CD Reviews

Like Vintage Wine...

Joe M. Hayes | Del Mar, CA | 03/20/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you could only have one Rod McKuen album this would be the one to buy. Rod is an acquired taste like fine old Scotch and just as valuable. I've been a fan since 1955 when he and Henry Mancini wrote the music for the old teen film "Rock, Pretty Baby." Rod's songs speak to the loner, the loser, the lover. Yet, his songs from the film "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" are among the sweetest and most enduring songs in all of American music. I've been fortunate to "meet" Rod on the internet, through his web-site "A Safe Place to Land" and what you hear and see with him is exactly what you get. His emails are very special to me and that makes it difficult for me to be impartial as to the music of Rod McKuen, but if you want songs of life, and love and love lost and of naature, the sea, the earth, the sky...this is the guy for you. He has been for me for all of my adult life.Joe M. HayesDel Mar, CA"

Great, but incomplete

"Box set has many of Rod's great works, but it is sadly missing his works which were released on the album "The Earth". So, alas, I continue to look for those great items."

I long for the '60s

"Would be complete if it included "Through European Windows" My album disappeared 30 years ago and I have yet to replace it."
