5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Album with Classic Songs by Accordion Greats, November 30, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Legends of Accordion (Audio CD)

A must have collection for accordion afficionados everywhere. Jo Ann Castle's "Bumble Boogie" stands out in the how does she do that file. My other favorites were Dick Contino's "Lady of Spain" (no accordion album would be complete without this song) and Martin DeLugg's "So What's New", a martini lounge favorite. I would like to have seen "Tico Tico" on the album and no Weird Al stuff, but will have to wait till next time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, November 19, 1999

Our local library had this CD. It was great hearing some of the great performers again. Dick Contino is great as well as Joe Anne Castle. Those Darn Accordions rendition of The Perry Mason Theme was interesting.

I did not care for the Weird Al number. Also I wish that the had picked one of Art Van Damme's better selections.

I wish that they had also picked one of Frankie Yankovic's better known pieces such as Just Because or Blue Skirt Waltz.

Over all though, I really enjoyed it. I am thinking about purchasing it shortly.

1.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre., February 20, 1999

A few of the tracks are OK. Most sound like recordings made from old records. I wouldn't have bought it had I heard it first.
