The early 1960s was a classic period for movie theme music. Several appear on the Theme From The Sundowners release which sees Billy Vaughn trying to widen his appeal by the greater use of strings. (US:5)
“I know some Vaughn experts prefer the earlier albums which are dominated by the trademark 'twin sax' sound. Vaughn tried to appeal to a wider audience in the early 60s by using more strings and diversifying his arrangements. Personally, I prefer this later period.”
“This album contains a generous collection of movie tunes that sound like magic. Sit back, relax and let this great, soothing music take you for a ride.”
“If you like the themes from the greatest movies of all times you'll appreciate this one. Vaughn's orchestra brings back memories that are both easy listening and relaxing.”
“If you are a Vaughn fan, you already know he was capable of some of the strangest arrangements around. This will no doubt be of great interest to those wishing to collect his albums, but to the casual listener or hipster who wants space age bachelor pad music, there are plenty of other places to look.”
“This is the very best of Billy Vaughn. I started listening to his music, and never get bored by it.”
“One of my all time favourites by Billy Vaughn. The Sundowners is a beautiful orchestra piece that was a part of my long gone childhood of the early sixties.”
