The Stingrays

Stand By For Action

(Western Star)



There being no reason not to take up examples mounted by 1960s British Pop confectioners, the three involved here do so winningly and with beaming good cheer. (Inspiration arrives, too, from Gerry and Sylvia Anderson.) One marvels as spring-heeled melodies romp. Unanticipated twists ensure that matters hum steadily. The voices croon exultantly, and remind that lives lived with songs in heart and  smiles wreathing faces know no grayness overhead.

Recommended: "It's Been Nice," "Why Little Girl," "Magic Carpet," "A Tribute to Buddy Holly," "Little Baby," "I'll Never Get Over You"
