Our Take

Roberta Sherwood, darling of the 50s music scene, is back in the spotlight with her compilation album "Lazy River - Singles & Albums Collection 1956-61." This collection is a tantalising journey through Sherwood's back catalogue, showcasing her stunning vocals and timeless charm.

From the upbeat swing of "This Love of Mine" to the soulful balladry of "Lazy River," Sherwood's versatility shines through on each track. Her voice, like a fine wine, has only improved with age, capturing the hearts of listeners young and old with its rich, velvety tones.

The production on these tracks is top-notch, with the instruments expertly mixed to complement Sherwood's vocals. The lush arrangements add depth and complexity to each song, transporting the listener to a bygone era of elegance and sophistication.

However, it's not all smooth sailing on "Lazy River." Some tracks feel a tad dated, lacking the punch and innovation that modern audiences crave. But that's a small price to pay for a glimpse into Sherwood's illustrious career.

Overall, "Lazy River" is a delightful trip down memory lane, with Roberta Sherwood at the helm, steering us through the waters of classic Hollywood glamour. So sit back, relax, and let the soothing sounds of Sherwood's voice wash over you like a lazy river on a summer's day. Cheers, darling.
