Very Best of Easy Listening CD (Various Artists)
$34.7
Very Best of Easy Listening Thanks in small part to the movie Swingers, the 90s brought about a reexamination of the hyperstylized space-age modern lounge music that emanated from the stereo systems of swinging bachelor pads in the late 50s and the 60s. Kitschy pop culture movements aside, this three-disc set features several outstanding soft rock and easy listening classics from such artists as Johnny Mathis (Misty), Burt Bacharach (Ill Never Fall in Love Again), and Dusty Springfield (I Just Dont Know What to Do with Myself). There are a few cuts here that pale in comparison, and in other instances there are superior choices that could have been made (B.J. Thomas version of Raindrops Keep Fallin on My Head instead of Engelbert Humperdincks version, for example). But overall this is a nice sampler of the pop life in lounge music, and a great way to get acquainted with a rich, historical style of music.
