Johnny Horton's Greatest Hits

 

[Danny Ocean]

Some lesser played 50's & 60's tracks. This one has been ringing around my head, all day! The "Denis" version by Blondie, is probably better known, but this is the original.

^ Is it odd that I know that version, but that I don't know Blondie's version?

 

[John in Covina]

Esquivel - Bachelor Pad music. Known as the Mexican Duke Ellington. Some of the stuff is pretty wild with famous tunes done in a way only he can come up with, Some of the tunes sound like a combination of the original Star Trek Theme with the chorus voicings and the TV theme to I Dream of Jeanie. Zippy poppy fifties early sixties consumerism music in a way. Just plain weird yet wonderful.

Hi Rue,

No, it's refreshing to know that people remember the original. Most people think Deborah Harry wrote it.....

Esquivel gets occasional playtime on the Cocktail Nation podcast. His take on standards sonically tweaked is indeed weird yet wonderful. Roll out his Christmas tunes for a taste of everything hip, cool, and wha??? mixed in with the classics.
