Pretty Little Angel Eyes

The re-release of Curtis Lee's classic 1961 album "Pretty Little Angel Eyes" is like stepping into a time machine and visiting a sock hop in the 50s. Lee's smooth crooning and catchy melodies transport you back to a simpler era when poodle skirts and greased hair were all the rage. From the infectious title track to the doo-wop influenced "Under the Moon of Love," each song on this album is a toe-tapping delight. Lee's voice soars effortlessly over the upbeat instrumentation, making it impossible not to tap your feet and bop along. But it's not all bubblegum pop and teenage love songs - tracks like "Beverly Jean" showcase Lee's versatility as an artist, with a slightly more soulful sound and a touch of melancholy in his delivery. The production on this album may be a bit dated by today's standards, but that's all part of its charm. It's like listening to a vinyl record crackle and pop - it adds to the nostalgic feel of the music and transports you back to a bygone era. Overall, "Pretty Little Angel Eyes" is a delightful trip down memory lane that will have you longing for the days of soda fountains and drive-in movies. Curtis Lee may not be a household name anymore, but his music is timeless and this album is a must-listen for fans of the golden age of rock and roll.
