Colorado quintet 17th Avenue Allstars gives us a GREAT doo wop recording in “Doo Wop Gold.” There really is nothing lacking on this collection of classics, from “Sh-Boom (Life Could Be a Dream)” to “In the Still of the Night” (complete with the pre-requisite bass voiceover). The singing is right on, as they find their groove with heir relatively new four-guy-one-girl configuration. Jenn Butler’s solo on “I Only Have Eyes for You” is so sexy and smooth, you’ll have trouble remembering where – forget about WHEN – you are! “Rockin’ Robin” will get you up and movin’, as will “Get a Job” and “Trickle Trickle.” We dare you NOT to sing along with “Blue Moon” – go ahead, try out your bass chops. We won’t tell! This is an awesome, feel-good album, reminiscent of the feel-good 50s and 60s. Pick this one up for a sweet, swingin’ trip down memory lane. (37:42 2004)
