NANCY SE LA PASA EN GRANDE!!,
By
This review is from: Sugar (Audio CD)
Una muy grata sorpresa haber descubierto este album por casualidad en amazon; un album que a mi parecer estuvo muy cerca de ser un ALBUM CONCEPTUAL, tomando como idea base los CLASICAS DE LOS 20s Y 30s como eje central de la tematica; con todo, Nancy nos ha entregado un material muy NOSTALGICO, SENCILLO y con ese SABOR A AÑEJO tan agradable que estas grandes canciones nos da (aparte de la magnifica portada en "ROSA", de las mas sexys de la musica); muy bonitas baladas como OH! BEAUTIFUL DOLL, ALL BY MYSELF, LET'S FALL IN LOVE, WHAT'LL I DO y la simplemente preciosa MY BUDDY, Clasicos del tipo "entertainer" como VAGABOND SHOES, HARD HEARTED HANNAH, MAMA GOES WHERE PAPA GOES, LIMEHOUSE BLUES (con ciertos arreglos "a lo Japones") y la version mas divertida y simpatica de SWEET GEORGIA BROWN que he escuchado, donde Nancy simplemente se DIVIERTE a lo grande con la tonada (demostrando que se puede disfrutar plenamente en un estudio de grabacion); y como broche de oro, los hitazos SUGAR TOWN y SOMETHING STUPID (con su padre), que son los "pesos pesados" del album; sin dejar de mencionar muy buenas composiciones originales como COASTIN' y LOVE EYES, muy buenas... un GRAN PAQUETE para nadar en el mar maravilloso de la nostalgia con un maravilloso album!!

This SUGAR doesn't cause cavaties,
By MartyC - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sugar (Audio CD)
I will be the first to admit it is impossible for me to be impartial about Nancy Sinatra. I love everything she does. Realizing that this is supposed to be a forum to help potential customers decide, I will say it is a radical departure from her previous three albums. If you are only in to "BOOTS" type music, stick with "YOU GO-GO GIRL". If you want to hear a versatile artist take a risk and SOAR, grab this album. WHAT'LL I DO is widely done by others, yet, Nancy makes it her own. She is clearly having fun with SWEET GEORGIA BROWN and HARD HEARTED HANNAH. COASTIN' is one of my favorite songs, if I hadn't seen Lee's name on it, I would've thought it was from the same era. Her monster hit SUGAR TOWN, of course, is on here. Her next album was COUNTRY, MY WAY another departure from the "BOOTS" mold which is also well worth owning. Nancy has never been afraid to take risks, just watch MOVIN' WITH NANCY and you'll see a woman way ahead of her time. Her risks, in my opinion always pay off. Now, on to my soapbox. If you don't like Nancy's music, FINE, you don't like it. We are all entitled to our own opinions. I don't like the Beatles. However, you won't find me writing reviews of Beatle albums that attack them personally. I do not understand the need to be mean to Nancy. She is a warm, wonderful human being (yes, I do know her.)who does not deserve the attacks on her. Just because she is a Sinatra doesn't mean she can't have her feelings hurt. There is this old adage that goes "if you can't say something nice..."

Still Hot in that Pink Bikini,
By G E. Learned "Denrael" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sugar (Audio CD)
Ok, I admit, when I first bought the LP, many years ago, I bought it for the cover. Funny thing was, after listening to the music, I really came to love that album. It's mostly standards from the 30's, but it has the duet with dad that is great. All these years later, when I saw it, I had to buy it in CD form just to recapture my youth...and this time, only partly for the cover.

Nancy's swing/jazz genre album,
By Daniel J. Hamlow - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sugar (Audio CD)
After Nancy In London, there came Sugar, which really bucked the trend of her previous albums. Nancy Sinatra came up with a genre album, which, as the inner sleeve says, "sweet, soulful serenades from the old timey years." That includes 1930's swing and blues, which means lots and lots of brass.I picture Mae West singing some of these tunes, particularly "Hard Hearted Hannah." How hard is she? Well, according to Nancy, she's a misanthrope. "To tease them and thrill'em, to torture and kill them is her delight they all say." "And she's just as sweet as sour milk." Memo: stay away from Hard Hearted Hannah and put a bounty on that woman like my name was Jabba the Hutt. "All By Myself" is a soothing balm after the loud brass emphasizing Hannah's cruelty. And "Oh! You Beautiful Doll" might as well be about her. Small wonder why "Great Big Beautiful Doll" was the title of the biography of Anna Nicole Smith, another luscious blonde. "Coastin'" is a song about being cheery. Another upbeat song in that vein is "Mama Goes Where Papa Goes," where Mama makes sure Papa doesn't go astray. Mama seems to be a provider here, "a lovin' Mama who's got everything you need." And on that line, "a husband at home is worth a dozen out of sight"--well, I suppose "a bird in the hand" would've been predictable and cliched, huh? The old standard "Let's Fall In Love" is her own contribution to the love instead of war motto. Hey, if "even educated fleas do it," "Some Argentines without means do it, people say in boston even beans do it," why couldn't the military establishment that sent U.S. soldiers to Vietnam do what romantic sponges and even gooey jellyfish do? The punchline to the song turns the meaning of the song around. "Sugar Town" and "Love Eyes" are the two songs closest to contemporary and are oddballs on this collection, but welcome oddballs, I might add. "Sugar Town" is her utopia song and one of my favorites. "If I had a million dollars or ten/I'd give it to you world and then/You'd go away and let me spent my life in sugar town." Neat idea of Lee Hazlewood rhyming Tennessee with Tallahassee. "Love Eyes" is a power ballad that again is one of her best. "Button Up Your Overcoat" has the same loving provider theme as "Mama Goes Where Papa Goes." Nancy warns her dear one against bootleg hooch, meats, too much sweets, and to take all sorts of precautions. "Something Stupid," which spent more weeks on #1 than any of her singles, is getting a boost from Nicole Kidman and Robbie Williams's rendition of it from the Moulin Rouge movie. Which is better? I'm leaning towards the original. The cover of her in pink bikini and go-go boots is an added bonus to the music inside. However, why didn't someone airbrush the front cover? Yeesh! If she was still in her bad girl mode, she'd probably appear wearing just the boots. An alternative to the angry protest music to be sure. If I recall, this kind of swing came around during the Depression, when people wanted to forget their troubles. I suppose some people were depressed and fed up of having Vietnam on their TV sets day after day, but the difference between the Depression and Vietnam is, we couldn't help being in the first. The second, we should've dropped like a bad cold. After this breath of fresh air, Nancy would do yet another genre album. Hint: can you say two-stepping? |
