“CALIFORNIA DREAMING”
Rick Price and Jack Jones
Release 29/9/2017
LABEL: Sony Music Entertainment
From the first sounds of the melodic piano playing of the “Mamas & Papas “California Dreaming”, I knew I was in for some musical magic.
I was not wrong.
Jack Jones and Rick Price have teamed up to cover some of the most Iconic songs of the 60’s and 70’s.
Every artist these guys covered are brilliant in their own right and the covers do justice to each and every song.
They put their own spin on each song, but they don’t tamper with the original melody which makes this album so great.
Jack Jones and Rick Price are well known in the Australian music industry and have been friends for decades.
They talked about working together for years, and decided when they finally did, they wanted to celebrate great artists and great songs from a music era that will never be repeated.
Robert Rigby of Sony music championed the idea and concept for Sony, and an exceptional album was created.
Some of the artists they cover are Joni Mitchell, Eagles, James Taylor, Jackson Brown The Doors and even my all time favourite Neil Young.
I was worried they might miss the mark with such unique artists, but each and every song was as good as the original, and sometimes better.
I haven’t stopped listening to this album since I got it and car trips, singing at the top of my lungs to some of the best songs ever written, have never been more enjoyable.
Whether you’re from the era when these songs were written, or not, this album will have you singing and feeling good.
I highly recommend this album. The melodies and the arrangements are excellent and the choice of songs is brilliant.
I would give this album an easy 9/10.
STAY i-TUNED!
