jazzbo Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 I'm not expecting it to be among Pops' greatest works, but I pre-ordered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfire Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 "Hello Dolly" off the album is on Spotify and sounds excellent. Louis is in good form, judging from this track. If you like this era of his music, should be a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
