The Quintessential Live Louis Prima,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wildest (Audio CD)
I grew up on this great album - the sure-fire party liven-er! This was the record my parents put on when people started to loosen up and they wanted to get everyone dancing. My parents saw Louis Prima live a few times, and they swear this album is the closest thing to their live show - you can feel the energy!

GREAT jump swing lp reissue!,
By Eagle-Knows "eagle nose" (Brea, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wildest (Audio CD)
Classic Prima lp reissued on cd! The Wildest is a classic of the unique New Orleans Gand, which was essenrially Prima, Keely Smith, Sam Butera & The Witnesses, playing a brand of rock'n'roll meets New Orleans, Dixieland, swing, and honking rhythm & blues! Or as Will Friedwald has stated Rock'n'roll for adults! Great fun party music, swing dancers will love the original Jump'Jibe'N'Wail! Every track is a gem! A wild cd!!! Check out Louis Prima's Italian sounding almost black sounding Louis Armstrong vocal impressions, and Sam Butera's wild honking sax solos, and Keely's almost Ella Fiztgerald like vocals! Man it's wild stuff!

Brings back the memories.,
By Alfred James Phillips "Alfred James Phillips ... (Battle Creek, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wildest (Audio CD)
Brings back memories from an age when music was kind and happy. But this CD is also wild enought for todays discriminating listener. A great combination when Keely and Louis were at their best.

Very well done remaster of Louie's early work, all time favorites, not enough Kiely!
good investment, shipper did remarkable job of getting product out quickly! Only disc I would reccomend more is the Capitol records Collector's series. Collector's has absolutely top notch sound. Buy it first for grand overview and incredible early sound.

Many Happy Memories!,
By
This review is from: Wildest (Audio CD)
Listening to the Wildest brought back many childhood memories. My dad and I used to sing along with all of Louis Prima's songs. One of our team favorites was "A Banana Split for My Baby". Louis' music is fun and happy and the group always sounded like they enjoyed what they were playing. I've already started sharing some of the songs with my grandchildren. Hopefully, it will be passed on to another generation!

I bought this CD for one song but the whole thing is just great. It's Prima at his best, live.
