CD Reviews

ON A ROLL WITH FRANK DEVOL
Barry McCanna | Normandy, France | 04/25/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a delicious concoction of instrumental arrangements, many drawn from Frank DeVol's Capitol LPs, and interspersed with vocals by The Four Lads, Jo Stafford, Bing Crosby, Margaret Whiting, Mel Tormé, Dinah Shore, Jack Smith, and Gordon MacRae. Even such timeworn numbers as "The Third Man Theme", "True Love", and "Tammy" have been refreshed by Mr. DeVol's treatment. This is timeless music, beautifully recorded, which is a pleasure to bask in."
