For Sentimental Reasons...

By SA Collins
While many may argue me on this point, I believe this is one of Dionne's finest (early) albums. Each one is an anthem unto itself (including the light "Up, Up, and Away" cover). For many people a certain album or collection of songs by a certain singer takes them back to their youth. For me this is the album. Even now when I pull out the old vinyl copy my mom bought so many years ago each little click and pop (sometimes resembling a burning fireplace in the background that I am sure wasn't intended in the original release) I know I put there on that vinyl record from playing this album to death. If you're into big sounding 60's pop anthems, look no further than this one. It's a show stopper. My faves of this collection are "Valley of the Dolls (haunting)", "For The Rest Of My Life", and most definitely "Where Would I Go (while boisterous, it is definitively a proclamation of unwavering love)". Give it a spin... but remember, I recommend this one mostly for sentimental reasons.
