Our Take
The Harptones' "Life Is But a Dream" is a whimsical journey through the dreamy landscape of doo-wop harmonies and old-school charm. Each track on this album is like a sugar-coated time machine, transporting listeners back to a simpler era of sock hops and soda fountains. Lead singer Bobby Hendricks' smooth crooning is the icing on the cake, effortlessly gliding over the tight harmonies and toe-tapping rhythms laid down by the rest of the group. From the infectious bounce of "Sunday Kind of Love" to the wistful longing of "A Sunday Kind of Love," The Harptones deliver a masterclass in vintage doo-wop excellence. But don't be fooled by the saccharine sweetness of these tunes – there's a subtle edge lurking beneath the surface. Tracks like "Forgive Me" and "You Are to Blame" reveal a darker, more introspective side to the group, showcasing their versatility and emotional depth. Overall, "Life Is But a Dream" is a delightful romp through the golden age of doo-wop, with The Harptones proving themselves to be true maestros of the genre. So grab your poodle skirt, slick back your hair, and get ready to be transported to a bygone era of music magic. This album is a dream come true for fans of classic harmonies and good old-fashioned fun.
