This album is aptly titled. There is such a wide array of music on this CD that it is a must for any Harmonicats fan. And lots of it! 22 songs.
Many of these songs are part of their set that The 'Cats play in concert. (Their Live Concert CD "One Night in San Francisco" has live versions of many of them.)
This CD is the studio version and includes something for everyone. You get a new arrangement of "Peg Oš My Heart" plus "Cherry Pink" but none of the other songs are on any other album!
In fact, these guys are so cool they put in a brand new recording of Vaya Con Dios and didnšt even mention it. They just threw it in there. I still am amazed at how those three guys can make so much music.
You've got to get this album.

If you like the harmonica this CD is for you. It's wonderful.

I met these wonderful guys only lately thanks to AMAZON but it's as if I had always known them in my music-dreams, really I remember now having heard "Peg O' my heart" many years ago.
It's incredible what they can do with an Harmonica, their Technique belongs to another World, they have the power of a Big Bang and the smothness/sweetness of a banana-split.
The sound Quality is excellent, very good recording, 100% clear, clean, wide front STEREO, NEKKO (first time I meet them also) did a fantastic job.
This CD contains 22 songs (not 12. I give below the titles in the exact order) for 71' of very enjoyable music.

1.PEG O'MY HEART 2.SPANISH EYES/STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT 3.GRANADA 4.VAYA CON DIOS 5.TIE A YELLOW RIBBON 6.ORANGE BLOSSOM SPECIAL 7.WILLIAM TELL OUVERTURE 8.IF 9.LOVE ME TONIGHT 10.LARA'S THEME 11.THE ENTERTAINER 12.CHERRY PINK AND APPLE BLOSSOM WHITE 13.FIDDLER ON THE ROOF 14.PARISIENNE FANTASIE 15.HERE'S THAT RAINY DAY 16.A KISS TO BUILD A DREAM ON 17.A TASTE OF HONEY 18.ZORBA THE GREEK 19.THEME FROM THE GODFATHER/LOVE STORY 20.MUSIC OF BURT BACHARACH 21.PIECES OF DREAMS 22.MACK THE KNIFE.

I love this sound and will try other CD's hoping the recording Quality is at this excellent level, I have no doubt for the Quality of the performance.
This is music for all "moods", no matter how you feel...it will just make you feel better.

Very talented musicians. If it was more in style today, you would be hearing how much these guys infuenced the harmonica world. Pay attendtion to the different registers and keys of harmonicas.

It's amazing what these guys can do with their harmonicas... brings back all of the memories of watching them on the Ed Sullivan Show...

This is definitely a music lover's collection of great harmonica tunes. Peg O' My Heart is flawless, brings back good memories, and just makes my day.
