Gutbrain Records

Tuesday, 22 July 2008

Now playing on the Gutbrain stereo, The Prettiest Girl in School, a CD of songs from the 1950s sung by Anthony ("Tony") Perkins!

It's not bad, if you like this kind of thing, like Johnny Mathis, Fabian, some of Elvis's early RCA recordings. "Moonlight Swim" has a nice Hawaiian feel to it, with some good steel guitar playing. Some of the tracks have an agreeable West Coast jazz feel. I find myself wondering who's playing alto sax on "Just Friends" but I've already packed the CD.
