thirteen years ago, Lawrence Welk briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Moon River - Lawrence Welk”. Since Lawrence Welk last CD (TV Favorites) on Blue Note Records back in 1992, I have felt a massive void in my life. Lawrence Welk was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Lawrence Welk and TV Favorites together. I greatly enjoyed this CD.
It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Moon River - Lawrence Welk, which shows, blatantly, how much Lawrence Welk has evolved as a singer. I like the agression and power of Double Eagle Polka - Myron Floren. Some call The End Of The World - The Lennon Sisters from TV Favorites as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Bill Bailey Won’t You Come Home - Jo Ann Castle have really caught my ear and imagination. Paloma Blanca - Anacani is a strong cut, one of many. First time I heard Accordion Man Polka - Lawrence Welk/Myron Floren was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.Frankie & Johnny - Jo Ann Castle is worth the money. Beer Barrel Polka - Myron Floren - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. Baby Elephant Walk - Lawrence Welk is nothing but pure genius. Blue Hawaii - The Lennon Sisters - Lawrence Welk first major hit. How Great Thou Art - Guy & Ralna as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature.
