Editorial Reviews

Atco had a hit with Bobby’s country-ish 'Things' in the summer of ’62, but he had already left the label, so they had no album to go with it! So, like on 'Twist with Bobby Darin', they put together a collection of odds ’n’ ends from the vaults, and, like on 'Twist', they ended up with a fine album despite themselves! Which, of course, is just a testament to Bobby’s greatness; in fact, this album may be the single most definitive demonstration of his amazing versatility, boasting country, folk, jazz, pop, rock and even tropical stylings with all but two songs written by the man himself. Includes 'Things; I’ll Be There; Lost Love; Look for My True Love; Beachcomber; Now We’re One; Oo-Ee-Train; Jailer Bring Me Water; Nature Boy; Theme from "Come September,"' and 'Sorrow Tomorrow'.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last we can hear these again, November 25, 2004

This review is from: Things & Other Things (Audio CD)

For the past several years, I have been trying to get Bobby Darin's lesser-known hits on CD. Now they are here! I'll Be There, Nature Boy, Look for My True Love, Theme from "Come September", etc. Some of these were flip sides on the original 45s, and hardly known. But I would say that I appreciate having at least 7 of the songs on this collection. To my knowledge, the only one that is available elsewhere is the title song Things.

People who were teenagers or young adults in the early 1960s should definitely be pleased with the chance to hear these songs again, and to add them to their own collection in current media format.

By the way, there is one track left out in Amazon's song list: You're Mine.
