Lead single “Peter Gunn” and “Dreamsville” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. The Days Of Wine And Roses 1 isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. When you buy a Henry Mancini album, you know exactly what you’re getting! This album is awesome.
Listening to Dreamsville you can hear that Henry Mancini has still amazing chemistry with band members. Slow And Easy is really a nice song to relax and listen too. |titile| is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in The Days Of Wine And Roses 1. I believe Walkin’ Bass is one of the most marvelous, heartfelt songs ever written. My Manne Shelly has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. Blues For Mother’s is one of the coolest songs Henry Mancini has ever recorded. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Snowfall is my favorite song on The Days Of Wine And Roses 1. Big Noise From Winnetka stands out to me for its audacious melody and sheer beauty. Sing, Sing, Sing is astounding. Mr. Lucky can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Henry Mancini is all about. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. Opening track Blue Satin shows the best of Henry Mancini. A Powdered Wig still maintains something of a specific flourish. Simple and heartfelt closing track High Time closes The Days Of Wine And Roses 1 on a high note. Once The Second Time Around gets in your head, it will NEVER leave. Theme From ‘the Great Imposter’ - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. Rain Drops In Rio is a great song for a cosy night in when it’s cold and wintry outside. Blue Mantilla one is one of the better boring ones. Moon River - I like this one. I find myself hearing bits of Breakfast At Tiffany’s here and there throughout my waking hours. What sets Holly apart is Henry Mancini’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Experiment In Terror is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. Still going through The Days Of Wine And Roses 1 and coming to appreciate Fluter’s Ball more and more with every listen. After you’ve listened to White On White, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate.
