Nothing to Say
I love it! I knew that any cd that Ray Dafrico would put out would have to be eclectic, and the news of this release peaked my interest right away. I am not disappointed one bit. I love the throw back sound that is reminiscent of a great tune from the days of mod. I love the smooth sound of the vocals. You get an early "Who" vibe at times, which I adore. It is an easy listen, one that makes you smile. The lyrics seem to be as wholesome as the era the compositions throw back too, they could have had their own tv show! The Tune How Much, sounds like it is a lost cut from a Byrd's album. Every tune sounds familiar the first time you hear it, which warms ya soul. Tambourine Dreams, oh my heavenly, it is my theme song! I always said I was destined to be a tambourine player in a R&R band! I always Knew You Would Break My Heart, takes ya down spooky road, with it's haunting vocals, and that sure is some spooky deville slide there Ray! The song,Nothing to Say, cleanses the pallet, and ends the collection of tunes on a happy note. All in all, great cd. To repeat myself, I was totally pleased with every song. Not one was a drag. I wish you all well, do yourself a favor, support a deserving group of artists, buy the cd!
