Tennessee is the pioneer band for Doo-Wop (or Du-Dua, as they call it) in Spain and in my very own opinion they have never received all the respect they deserve for their work... and this CD + DVD, recorded live, is a new proof of their quality.

What we get along the 22 songs included in the CD (25 in the DVD) is a trip through the most well known songs of the band, both own compositions and covers, most of them in Spanish. I would like to highlight "Tu mal humor", "A Marilyn", "Labios de la suerte" (a cover of Ruth Brown's "Lucky Lips" and probably my favourite in this record) or "Guitar Blues", to name just a few. On the other side we have "Pretty Woman" and "Suspicious Minds" being the weakest selections as I believe they do not fit quite OK with the band's style.

It has to be also highlighted the great sound quality of the recording, bearing in mind that it is a self-edited live recording, as both the CD and the DVD have a powerful, clear sound.

By the way, the show was recorded on June 27, 2014 in Barcelona, being a show held to raise funds and give support to an association that helps kids affected by the Sanfilippo disease. The CD + DVD have been released with the same target in mind.

Good record for a good cause!
