Fast-movin', sweet-talkin' Nancy packs a punch, 22 Dec 1999
By J. Stearns - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Movin' with Nancy (Audio CD)
The "Movin' with Nancy" album (1967) is actually (as stated on the cover), the soundtrack to her most-definitely-needs-to-be-released-on-home-video Emmy-winning TV special of the same name. Each of the fifteen songs (including the bonus tracks) demonstrates Nancy's adaptability to a variety of musical genres. "Who Will Buy" exemplifies her vocal range, "Wait Till You See Him," and the glorious "See the Little Children" all illustrate the softer side of Nancy. Which, in this case, is just as magnificent as her "tough-girl" side. While the novelty "Things" with Dean Martin, the mesmerizing and somniferous "Some Velvet Morning" with Lee Hazlewood, the country-flavored "Jackson," the rousing "Up, Up and Away," the '60s power-ballads "This Town," and "Friday's Child" each glorify Nancy to heights unimaginable. And while up there, she manages to make us feel the "high" she's at as well. It's Nancy at her VERY best!

Nice item, 16 Jun 1999

This is a nice album of music from Nancy's TV special. Particular highlights are 'I Gotta Get Out Of This Town' (a great, rousing opener), 'Some Velvet Morning' (a classic, weird and atmospheric song with its odd time signature changes), 'Up, Up And Away' (nice happy version of the Jimmy Webb song), 'Friday's Child' (another great song written by Lee), and 'This Town' (a cool, melancholic number). Amongst the extra bonus tracks are 'drummer man', a weird and unusual song and 'Good Time Girl', a happy pop song. It's a highly enjoyable CD.

Sinatra's best outing, 18 May 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Movin' with Nancy (Audio CD)
This is good stuff from Nancy Sinatra and what fun to listen to. She evokes her mini-skirt clad tough girl in songs like "I gotta get out this town" and a sweet sensual side in "wait till you see him." Her voice, while not a superior instrument, blends nicely with her 60s pop arrangements, though her Up, Up and Away has a hokeyness to it that seems OK. "Younger than Springtime" is sung by her dad. Originally a love ballad from South Pacific, father now sings it adoringly to his most talented child. Be careful though if you've seen the TV special, you won't find "Sugartown" on this disc. But easily available on her disc "The Hit Years." And that's a good buy, too.
