The Coasters
Magical Favorites
Review by Gary Hill
I’ve never really been a big fan of this kind of old time vocal music. That fact should tell you just how good this is when I say that I really like this album a lot. It’s not my kind of sound, but it’s so good that it drags me kicking and screaming into liking it. I will say not everything here blows me away, but most of it does. This is the first new recording by the Coasters in a very long time. They cover a lot of classic music and make it all their own. This should please long time fans. As I can attest, it’s likely to earn them some new ones, too.
