When you buy a Doris Day album, you know exactly what you’re getting! This -song debut EP shows the promise that Doris Day has. While no new Doris Day album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 2004 tour in Europe. It is very deep stuff - very exciting
Barbara Allen can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Doris Day is all about. As always, Doris Day’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. This track is clearly meant to showcase Doris Day’s vocal abilities. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. Vocals of Doris Day in While the Music Plays On really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. Let’s Be Buddies is one of the best records ever. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. Doris Day is one of artists that allow his songs like Amapola to stand on their own and be heard. Easy as Pie is a marvelous, simple song by Doris Day at the top of his game. This is probably my favorite song on the album. Beau Night in Hotchkiss Corners on Complete Recordings with Les Brown is solid and easy to listen to. Alexander the Swoose (Half Swan-Half Goose) sets the tone for the entire album. Made up My Mind - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. No Doris Day song has come close to capturing my attention as Keep Cool, Fool did. I find myself hearing bits of Sentimental Journey here and there throughout my waking hours. Simple and heartfelt closing track My Dreams Are Getting Better All the Time closes Complete Recordings with Les Brown on a high note. He’s Home for a Little While - I like this one. ‘Tain’t Me is such a exquisite and optimistic song that things can get just better. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. Red Kiss on a Blue Letter catches attention immediately, Till the End of Time is astounding work of Doris Day. He’ll Have to Cross the Atlantic (To Get to the Pacific) was the first single release from the album Complete Recordings with Les Brown. I now have I’d Rather Be With You as one of my personal favorites. It’s such an underrated song. Aren’t You Glad You’re You is probably the highlight of the album. Music of Last Time I Saw You is gentle, never overbearing. One listen to the sheer beauty of We’ll Be Together Again was all I needed. Doris Day breathes new life into the music in You Won’t Be Satisfied (Until You Break My Heart). Still going through Complete Recordings with Les Brown and coming to appreciate In the Moon Mist more and more with every listen. Doris Day offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. It took me a little time but I ended up loving (Ah Yes) There’s Good Blues Tonight. All Through the Day is a good listen every once in a while. Deevil, Devil, Divil great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.Excellent vocals and musical performances. My Number One Dream Come True - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. I like the agression and power of Whole World Is Singing My Song. Are You Still in Love With Me is a bit of a show-tune. Sooner or Later is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Complete Recordings with Les Brown have ended. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Christmas Song is gorgeous song though, very addictive. The song feels complete.
