• Track Listing

This is gonna make way more than a "splish splash"…this is more like a big bang for collectors of golden-age rock ’n’ roll. In the early ’60s, Darin recorded a series of five-minute, five-song radio shows for NBC sponsored by the American Dairy Association (hence the title here). Some are brief segments, some complete songs (this release packs 96 tracks into 2 CDs), and they include a wealth of tunes he never otherwise recorded and feature Bobby with a stripped-down jazz quartet. That’s wonderful to hear, as he so often recorded fully orchestrated tracks. No overdubs here: just intimate sessions with one of our most treasured pop stars; his talent and sense of humor shine through as he probes the Great American Songbook (and more) with "Mack the Knife," "Pennies from Heaven," "Buttons and Bows," "I’m an Old Cowhand," "Up a Lazy River," "Come On-A My House," "Cheek to Cheek," "Blue Skies," "All by Myself," "It Ain’t Necessarily So," "Easter Parade," "How Deep Is the Ocean," "Splish Splash," "Fools Rush In," "La Vie en Rose," "You Made Me Love You," "You Ain’t Got Nobody," "Thou Swell," "Moon River," "Make Someone Happy," "The Sheik of Araby," "Dream Lover" and more. If you thought you loved Bobby before, wait ’til you hear this precious document of his musical greatness and infectious personality! Edsel.
