Editorial Reviews

Bobby went folk on these two 1963 releases, on CD here for the first time! Earthy has an international flavor ('Guantanamera', 'La Bamba'), while Golden sees Bobby cover popular folk songs of the time including Dylan's 'Don't Think Twice', 'Its Alright' a

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't get enough of Bobby Darin in any form!, May 31, 2007

Ordered this after watching Judy Garland's Show Vol 7. Not a big fan of folk music but BD has the golden touch with any genre of music. His spanish is excellent on the La Bamba and Guantanamera. Fay-O is portugese? Can't tell for sure. But he does an superior job with Roger McGuinn and Glen Campbell with Greenback Dollar, Green Green and Long Time Man. BD can do no wrong;)

it's a shame this record is not available any more. Earthy! is one of my favourite Darin concepts.
I need this cd before I die!

Earthy! was one of Darin's finest offerings. The record was not in print long, nor was the compact disc above, which includes the follow-up album Golden Folk Hits. Wonderfully remastered, but not a Gold Disc as stated above - merely the ordinary aluminum kind.
