5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2007-07-09

Excellent CD. Doreen has a very soothing voice spoken in a relaxed manner. The soft music in the background enhances the relaxed mood without becoming a focus in itself. The script she uses is concise enough to provide adequate guidance yet open-ended enough to make listining to it a very personal experience which can be listened to again and again as if it were the first time.

5 out of 5 stars Try high quality speakers.......2007-07-08

I bought this cd along with several others. After awhile this has become my favorite. It's not the words or imagery, and this might sound wierd.
I tried it out recently on a higher quality system with expensive speakers. It may just be me, but it has the effect of percodan or loritab (pain medication).
Something about her voice, on the high end speakers multiplies the effect of relaxing me, even as I'm sitting up with eyes open. On my $100 stereo it's nothing special although still my favorite.

2 out of 5 stars didn't like so don't listen to it.......2006-11-09

should have been as good as the others i got.

5 out of 5 stars It just plain works!!.......2006-10-07

This CD is a strange mix of things -- from a guided imagery trip to a tale about a boy building a wall. Whatever. The bottom line is that it puts me to sleep almost every time. I can't remember the last time I heard the CD to the end. Maybe only twice out of 60 playings.

I can still have problems staying asleep (insomnia and mild sleep apnea) but that's another issue.

My wife has a bunch of Wendi Freisen CDs which absolutely do not work for me. Where Wendi's voice grates and annoys, Doreen's voice is, "like buttah".

Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Sweet sleep!.......2006-08-25

I bought this for my husband to help with his relaxation and sleep. Not only does he love it, but I do to! I put it in my DVD player at night, set the tv for auto shut off and Doreen knocks me out! I've been sleeping so well myself since listening to her. She has a great voice for relaxation, and I've yet to hear the whole cd! I also gave this to my mom who has problems with sleeping and she dittos what I've said.

5 out of 5 stars WIBG's Joe Niagra recreates the radio of '57.......2000-06-07

It's hard to remember that radio used to be more than a medium for playing commercials. Sure, it did plenty of that, but it was also a community focal point, and never more so during the teen empowerment of the late 50s.

The Crusin' series recreates these years with full radio programs that blend cherry-picked hits of the era with period commercials, radio spots and brilliant radio personalities.

Joe Niagra of Philadelphia's WIBG kicks it off with "If you're ready, this rockin' bird will fly!" and he doesn't let-up. His rhyming patter is spellbinding, and the music, ads and station promos all fit together into a brilliant, live work of art.

If you were lucky enough to be glued to the AM radio in your Chevy in '57 this is a terrific trip down memory lane. If you didn't have that fortune, this is a good chance to enjoy a taste of what you missed.

5 out of 5 stars What a Voice!!!!!!!.......2007-01-11

I have loved Glenn Yarbrough since I was introduced to this album as a kid. His interpretations of Rod McKuen's poems/songs are amazing. I don't enjoy him as much as a part of the Limelighters, but their songs are fun. If you're feeling mellow, blue, sad, etc and want to let those feelings out so they go away, listen to Glenn. If you just want to listen to a delightful voice, mostly soft and soothing, listen to Glenn. If ya just want wonderful music, period, listen to Glenn. The only album of his that I don't particularly care for is the one he did with his daughter, and that's a pity.

4 out of 5 stars A nostalgia trip.......2007-01-10

For those of us old enough to remember, Glenn Yarborough's music echoes a time and place when music WAS music,lyrics had meaning and artists could actually sing. It was a delight to find that his work has been reissued on CD. This album has some real classics- and it would be very difficult to rate one track above another as each appeals in a different way.

5 out of 5 stars ONE OF GLENN'S BEST.......2001-01-31

"When Summer Ends," "The Warm and Gentle Girls," "No One To Talk My Troubles To" - this album is one of Glenn's best, and that's saying a lot. Glenn is a singer whose power lies not in mere vocal ability or performance (though he has both in abundance), but in his rare empathy for people, for his ability to get to the very heart of a song. Once you've heard Glenn sing a song like "When Summer Ends" it'll stick with you forever. My mom, when she was dying, said it would make her feel better if she could listen to some of Glenn's music.

Of all the Glenn Yarbrough albums we listened to as a kid, this is by far the best! Glenn's treatment of the songs are great and the album transitions beautifully!

5 out of 5 stars Memories From the Past.......2001-10-17

Put it in the CD player of my car, and I zoomed back to my teen years in 1967. What radio really was like in the '60s, with nothing comparing with it today. Music from an age of innocence, playing in an age of terror. If you want to bring back memories of the past, buy this CD and others of the series.

5 out of 5 stars Turn back the clock.......1998-06-22

Radio as I grew up with. Dr. Don Rose is a truly great DJ, and we get a feel of Atlanta in 1967. Stick this CD in the car player and drive down the road and time goes backwards. Oldie lovers will play this one over and over. The commercials make it just as realistic. Where are you today Dr. Rose?

4 out of 5 stars Great Example of Radio as It Used to Be.......2005-08-22

Back when Bill Drake's "More Music" format first hit the airways, I decried it as the death of creative rock radio as we knew it. Forty years later, I bought Cruisin' 1965 and welcomed it back with open arms. Robert W. Morgan was quick, witty and as smooth as butter, using the KHJ jingles and hitting musical posts like the master he was. When the Cruisin' series first came out, I complained because it didn't have the greatest hits from each year; imagine 1965 without The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Stones or Motown. But in reality, Cruisin' 1965 sounds just the way Top 40 was back then, with a pastiche of hits that ran the gamut from The Ramsey Lewis Trio to Roger Miller. You buy a Cruisin' album to rediscover a fabulous retro radio experience . . . and there were few better than Robert W. Morgan on Boss Radio KHJ! The one flaw? Increase Records lost the rights to some of the songs on the originally released vinyl series. On a tightly produced radio reconstruction, that can be the kiss of death. On Cruisin' 1965, the surgery is a bit more arthroscopic, so it is still a great listen. But the surgical cuts still cost it one star in my book!

3 out of 5 stars OMIT THE NAME GAME AND WE'VE GOT A KEEPER!.......2000-09-18

To this day I can remember seeing the orange cartoon mail carrier in my local post office, "Mr. Zippy" reminding folks to USE THAT ZIP CODE! I loved "Eve of Destruction," the social commentary against the Vietnam War.

On 2/12/2000 I heard Barry McGuire, along with John Michael Talbot sing this wonderful social classic and that was such a treat. I also loved the 1965 Studebaker commercial. (I was a child of a Ford Falcon sedan household, loved that car so much that I would, 30 years later name my dog after that very cool car).

I would have given this a 4 or maybe a 5 star rating, but "the Name Game" cost it a star (or two). I just can't stand that idiotic piece and have found it impossible to listen to ever since I was a very young child. In adult life, I find I hate the "Name Game" as much now as I did as a child. It was the very first thing I hated to the point of being unable to listen to. It is sheer torture.

4 out of 5 stars A real blast from somebody's past!.......1999-08-21

Those of you who grew up listening to the incredible (and now late, great) Robert W. Morgan on KHJ in LA will get a kick out of this album. It's essentially an aircheck from one summer day in 1965, shortly after KHJ went on the air and basically took over LA pop radio for five years. The songs are all hits of the day in their full versions, unlike a real aircheck where the songs would be abbreviated. This is a great album in the series.

5 out of 5 stars A Ride in the Way-Back Machine - In you own car!.......2007-03-21

For those of us who were young teens in the Boston area in the 1960's, the radio station to be 'with' (AM, of course) was WMEX -"1510, Color Radio," and the DJ to listen to - especially on Friday and Saturday nights was old 'aching adenoids' Arnie ("Woo-Woo") Ginsberg. Originally released many years ago on cassette and later as a CD, the Cruisin' Series includes this gem - a compilation of one evening's Arnie Ginsberg Show on WMEX in 1961. Other pieces of the Cruisin' collection each have about an hour of play from one station and one DJ in one city during one year. This is the only one from Boston in that era - and it is absolutely fabulous. Like Mr. Peabody and his pet boy Sherman (from "Mr. Peabody's Improbable History" segment of the "Rocky and Bullwinkle Show") going for a ride in their WayBack machine, listening to this CD subtracts 45 from my life for about 50 minutes.... especially when listening to it in the car when driving alone.

This CD is much more than the musical selections which are, in-and-of themselves, great and includes the original (60's)versions of:
- Blue Moon / The Marcels
- My True Story / The Jive Five
- Johnny B. Goode / Chuck Berry
- But I Do / Clarence "Frogman" Henry
- Purple People Eater / Sheb Wooley
- Tossin' and Turnin' / Bobby Lewis
- Runaway / Del Shannon
- Barbara Ann / The Regents
- Ya Ya / Lee Dorsey, and
- Hideaway / Freddie King

But it is MUCH more than the singles that are played. It is Arnie Ginsberg and his 'rap' chatter about upcoming 'hops' (dances), WMEX sponsored contests and especially the commercials from that year for:
- The Heart Fund
- Adventure Car Hop ("... follow Rt. 1 in Saugus.... Home of the Ginsburger!")
- The New Widetrack Pontiac
and many others.

So, it is unlike listening to a CD of oldies. It is more like turning on your radio and being transported back to 1961, however briefly. It feels good to listen to - and can't help but evoke a long lost (or misplaced) memory or two for anyone who heard it back then.

I'm not sure how nifty this will sound to someone who grew up (or not) in the Greater Boston Area - but for any boomer who did, this CD is an absolute MUST.

5 out of 5 stars Boston's Best.......2004-06-10

I grew up in the late '50s and early '60s listening to WMEX. This really brings back fond memories. Just hearing Arnie do the "woo-woo" brought a smile to my face. The songs are great, although I wish they had all the songs from the vinyl.

5 out of 5 stars The best oldies album ever!.......2000-10-07

This is the album that got me hooked on oldies. It was a Friday night back in 1973. My Army buddy, Rupert Joyner, and I were just sitting around the barracks and he put this 8-track on. I liked it so much he let me borrow it to play in my 55 Chevy. I wore it out riding all over Homestead Florida. I'll never forget, it was a great time in my life.

5 out of 5 stars B.M.R........2003-04-09

The absolute best D.J. in New York during the 1963-1965 time when WMCA with its Good GUY Sweat Shirts and "Name it and Claim it" contests ruled the airwaves. The cd has been reduced in size from the original LP release because of legal problems. Would love more live shows of BMR

5 out of 5 stars Preserving a lost era.......2001-03-11

This is one of those CDs you don't buy for the music per se (though all the tracks here are just fine, thanks), but for the ambience. This recreates an hour of listening to WMCA in New York in 1963, complete with commercials, jingles, weather, high school contests, and DJ patter. You don't have to have grown up in New York to enjoy this blast from the past, you just have to be a fan of the sort of personality-driven radio experience that doesn't exist anymore. Highly recommended.

2 out of 5 stars Cruisin 1963.......2000-05-15

The ads fade in to the songs, just like on the radio. If you just want to hear the music, this CD isn't for you.

5 out of 5 stars This is a Rock and Roll time capsule-Never Again.......1998-10-09

This is a very special album. It takes you back in time. Just think, if your were living in New york in 1963 you would have been a big listener to the WMCA GOOD GUYS,. Pleae pay close attention to the dialog . "The Bemmer" mentions some very key inside people.. You have to be a Record Bis Person from the Al and Dicks era to really get some yaks .....THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER WMCA, OR B. MITCHELL REED....

5 out of 5 stars Ahh, when radio was real..........2002-03-20

I grew up in Baltimore listening to Johnny Dark on Radio 60 WCAO. To me, Johnny Dark WAS radio; the smooth, unerring voice that always said just the right thing at just the right time. So I guess maybe I'm a little biased in reviewing this CD, but what the heck - this ain't Rolling Stone! When I listen to Cruisin' 1968, it reminds me of the way radio should be, fun and exciting. I spent 20 years in the radio business, and I am proud to count Johnny among my early mentors. Although WCAO has undergone several format changes over the years (they currently air a Black Gospel format), Johnny still plays those great oldies on Saturday nights on WBIG-FM in Washington. Rock on, Johnny Dark!
