Dion...Yes He's Still Around,
By
This review is from: Dream on Fire (Audio CD)
I've had this disc in my collection for a while and every time I play it, it sounds just as good now as the first day I brought it home. I've been following Dion's career for a long time, I've got plenty of vinyl by him too. I saw him and the Belmonts do thier reunion at the Garden back in the seventies, and I met him once at a show in Jersey, he autographed my LP "Return of The Wanderer", one of my most prized Dion items. This disc is very enjoyable to me, he does a great acappella verion of the Bruce Springsteen song "If I Should Fall Behind", just goes to show you the Bronx Boy can still harmonize now just like he did on the Bronx street corners. Another favorite of mine is "Trying To Get Over You", Dion gives it his own "bluesy" flavor as only he can. "The 90's Is The 60's (turned upside down)" is another one of my favorites, Dion compares all the problems of the 60's to the 90's. Dion gives his own rendition of the Dave Edmunds song "I Knew The Bride (when she used to rock and roll). He also recorded "Guitar Queen" for this disc, the first time around was on "The Return Of The Wanderer" LP. If you are a fan of Dion DiMucci, you better get out there and get this one.

...but I think the last track is best of all,
By Keith Elliott (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dream on Fire (Audio CD)
Worth buying for What's That Sound on its own. Everyone I've played this track to has been absolutely knocked out by it. Even my kids who are 14 and 12, who believe that music didn;t really start before the Spice Girls, sing along to it. It's a 6-minute run through the history of rock, but a lot more than that. Some lovely touches: listen to when he sings "One driving force that woke on Monterey" or "and Eric split the night with his guitar". I also loved If I Should Fall Behind and the rest aint bad. But just listen to that last track. Blows your brains.

A Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Adds To His Legacy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dream on Fire (Audio CD)
Dion DiMucci is something of a rock and roll chameleon -- he's gone from doo-wop to the blues, from fronting a street-corner combo to solo folk performer. He's returned from his gospel phase to continue the rock survivor image he developed in "Yo Frankie." The cd begins inventively with an acapella take on Springsteen's "If I Should Fall Behind," a nice throwback to past glories. The rest of the album moves to a more traditional rock sound, the highlights being an impressively hard-edged and biting "The 90s are the 60s" and a nostalgic "What's That Sound?" The guy's pipes are still there -- if anything, he sounds more soulful than in the old days. A leisurely romp through "I Knew The Bride" fits the man well. This album may not be the most publicized of Dion's career, but his world-weary take on Dylan's "One Too Many Mornings" is one of his best tracks ever. Don't miss a master still working at his craft some four decades after he first hit with his buddies from Belmont Avenue in the Bronx -- the cat's still got it!
