Title: Quirky song selections mar outing
Review: Percy Faith leaves behind his signature lush string sound and replaces it with plenty of brass and woodwind. The opening track the Entertainer is orchestral overkill. In fact the cumbersome arrangement over takes the song and midway through the selection the melody is lost. I'm Gonna Go Fishin is equally bombastic. The other album included in this two-fer is Faith's discoed update of the Theme from a Summer Place. Need one say more? There are some good tracks: What'll I Do, Chinatown and Midnight at Oasis all carry Faith's distinctive style. And we also get a vocal thrown in for good measure. A lack of liner notes that specifically discusses these albums is a let down.
