Frankie Laine With Paul Weston & His Orch - In The Beginning Old Shoes

Review by Bill Ray

In The Beginning Old Shoes, an album by Frankie Laine with Paul Weston & His Orch, is a nostalgic and heartwarming collection of tracks that take listeners on a journey through the early years of Laine's career. The album features 16 tracks that showcase Laine's powerful and emotive voice, backed by Weston's lush orchestrations.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Shine," followed by the tender ballad "A Woman In Love." Laine's vocals are particularly impressive on tracks like "Mule Train," "Jealousy," and "We'll Be Together Again," where his range and control are on full display.

Weston's arrangements are equally impressive, adding depth and texture to each track without overpowering Laine's vocals. The result is a seamless blend of voice and orchestra that perfectly captures the spirit of the era.

In The Beginning Old Shoes is a must-have for fans of Frankie Laine and classic pop music. The album is a testament to Laine's enduring talent and Weston's masterful arrangements, and is sure to delight listeners of all ages.
