5.0 out of 5 stars A Fine Listen...an "Essential" for Any Collection!, July 3, 2006

By	PJ (Midwest, USA) - See all my reviews

I was probably playing with dolls when Nancy Sinatra had her big hit with "Boots". But while I've always liked that song with its catchy music and straightforward "this is how it is, buster!" lyrics--along with "Somethin' Stupid" which she recorded with her Dad, I never gave much thought or knew a lot about her other work. After seeing her on "Entertainment Tonight" recently where she mentioned this new release of some of her past recordings, I was intrigued enough to purchase it. All I can say is, it's an "easy on the ears" collection of tunes by a fine singer! On "Bang, Bang", I think Nancy's reading gets to the heart of the lyric and is tremendously more effective than the usual, more popular tempo. "Drummer Man", "Kind of a Woman" (a catchy single girl's anthem if there ever was one!), and "Here We Go Again" (a touch of Nashville) are other favorites here. Nancy can sing anything...pop, country, jazzy tunes...she weaves her style around them all. (And who knew she recorded a theme featured in a Bond movie?!) There's a little bit of everything represented on this CD. There's even some more recently recorded tunes near the end. So, perhaps the best thing I can say is that Nancy Sinatra proves you can have tunes recorded over 30 years ago which are still relevant and "good listening", as well as, today, be over 50 and still have an affecting (and surprisingly youthful sounding!) voice that effortlessly interprets more current music. I do wish she had included "Summer Wine", a popular recording she did with Lee Hazelwood, but I guess there wasn't room for everything. Overall, a fine representation from a talented singer. Keep singing and recording Nancy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, February 12, 2008

By	Paul J. Tomlin "Music History Buff" (edmonds, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Kudos to Nancy Sinatra for overseeing the production of a CD that sounds
great and is a lot of fun to listen to. She is cultural icon of the 60's
whose music on this CD finally gets the treatment it should. All the
hits are here except "Summer Wine". (Don't know why). If you are a
Nancy Sinatra fan, this is the one for the best sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very nice collection, August 15, 2006

By	Ward J. Lamb (slate hill, new york United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Nancy is simply at her best on this extensive collection that covers her usual greatest hits,and then some. Her take on Bang Bang is more superficial than Chers',but has it's own foxy simple read.
Her hits of the 60s'are unbeatable. Sugartown,You only live twice,as well as her Lee Hazelwood duets are pop masterpieces,with great Billy Strange productions.Nancy brings us up to date with "Let me kiss you"(Morrisey production).
The modern-ized bang Bang is the only misplaced track,simply stupid.
Nancy and dad on "Somethin' Stupid are heaven. Buy this cd
