Ferrante & Teicher - "Snowbound" (1962) - United Artists
Hello Friends,
We're ready for a blizzard tonight on Vinyl in the Valley. Outside the snow is piling up and we're inside getting toasty and listening to the perfect soundtrack record for a cold winter's eve!
This mostly instrumental album is loungey & hypnotic and would be great to put on when your Jewish friends come over because its more of a "Winter" record, rather than a Christmas record. Lots of songs about sleighrides and snowmen and moonlight and not a mention of Jesus, elves, wise men or Ol' Saint Nick. Shalom!
The dueling pianists are in fine form backed by an orchestra and chorus conducted by Nick Perito. Not as experimental, or as space-age, as some of their 1950's recordings, but a great addition to any vinyl collection.
Would probably sound right at home on one of those one-piece console stereos that looked like a piece of furniture that families gathered around in the early 1960's!
RATING: 4 snow drifts out of 5
