I guess we were trying to save a buck. We were tempted by the $5.98 cost of this CD. We are a Chicago-based band and we occasionally get Italian wedding gigs where we need to go through the traditional Italian American wedding songs.

Well, we could have saved our $5.98. The CD features a re-hash of all of Louie Prima hits (we already have his CD!) performed by unknowns but using all his arrangements. They do the same thing with the Dean Martin hits. We already have those recordings, man!

Then, there are the stale old songs redone yet again by some crooner. Why they call it an Italian Wedding CD is beyond us. . .outside a version of the tarantella wedding dance using an old Italian band with lots of shaky horns, there is nothing a traditional Italian wedding would use.

In fact, we had to laugh because they included the very Latin "Besame Mucho" on the line-up...now THAT'S Italian.

Save your money if you are looking for a real Italian wedding CD. You get what you pay for. I guess we're upset cause we thought we would get something for next to nothing.

We gave it 2 stars because it could be used for Italian elevator muzak.

This Cd has nothing at all to do with an Italian wedding. I can't believe they can market it as such. Save your money, even if it was cheap (we fell for it too!)The songs are canned and bad remakes of the original

Like one of the reviewers already said, wish I had read some reviews before I bought this CD. What makes distributors think they can market a bunch of moldy tunes as a Wedding CD is unbelieveable. But I guess we fell for it.. .so they made their profit. Sticking an Italian "wedding" title does not an Italian wedding CD make.

Do NOT recommend. Frustrated Italian bride's mother. . .

I wish I had read the reviews on this page before I spent the money ordering this CD. As the other reviewers wisely said, the songs are just poor remakes of some Italian American hits. No originality and really NOTHING that makes it appropriate for an Italian wedding. Save your money, brides and grooms. This is a rip-off, even though the price looks good.

This is definitely not a CD anyone could use for an Italian wedding. It was obviously mass produced and hastily put together. The songs are badly recorded and, above all, there is no life in the music. And you need life to pull off an Italian wedding successfully without a live band. Thumbs down.

When my husband and I went on a search for Italian wedding music for our reception, we bought several CDs with "Italian Wedding" in the name. This one had to be one of the biggest rip-offs. The few songs on the CD were terrible.... It was a total waste of money. Wish we had read the reviews before we bought it.
