5.0 out of 5 stars These rock stylists capture the sound of an era., August 8, 1998

By A Customer

I bought this album mainly for the song "The Mountain's High", which upon listening, evoked wonderful, soulful feelings from my childhood.

A pleasant surprise awaited me as this album revealed the range of material they were able to handle. The gospel flavored "All My Trials" was quite soothing. The powerful voice of Dee Dee was perfection in their hits, "The Mountain's High" and "Thou Shalt Not Steal". An unexpected treat was the "Blue Turns To Grey" Rolling Stones hit, which here, was actually backed by the Stones' band, with a nice guitar solo by Keith Richards. It sounds quite contemporary and could probably survive some airplay even in today's jaded top 40 market. I loved this cut, as it really shows the high level of musical talent, and great voices that Dick and Dee Dee possessed. I must note that in the case of Dee Dee's singular voice, a little goes a long way!

I wished that Dick and Dee Dee had done more of! the edgier rock tunes that they were quite capable of performing. A few of the selections contained in this album are quite lame.

All in all, this album would appeal to the Baby-Boomer set, and those who enjoy the music from that era.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you liked the 45s..., June 14, 1998

By A Customer

Dick and DeeDee, a long forgotten act from the 60s, never sounded better. The harmonies of these two were eerie enough to produce goosebumps! This CD shows their incredible style and describes "teen love and emotions" that every baby boomer can relate to and remember. Their music is reminiscent of the Gene Pitney style of singing about heartbreak.

5.0 out of 5 stars I had a Dick & DeeDee fan club, May 11, 2006

By	bobby myles "wyatt" (Flagstaff, AZ USA) - See all my reviews

I was the president of the midwest Dick & DeeDee fan club. I wrote them a letter when I first heard Mountains High and later would get letters from DeeDee. We'd talk on the phone and I'd put out a newsletter for club members. I got to meet them twice--once in Milwaukee and again in Appleton, Wisconsin. They were remarkable performers and this CD is fabulous. I wish however, they had included some of Dick's solo recordings. I've heard Dick did some revival shows with a new DeeDee. Does anyone know what they're doing now?
