Mob Hits - Music From and a Tribute to the Great Mob Movies

Description

Mob Hits: Music From And A Tribute To The Great Mob Movies is the ultimate collection of songs from all of the greatest mob movies: The Godfather, Goodfellas, Casino, Donnie Brasco, etc. The Mob Hits collection has more songs from the great mob movies that even the original motion picture soundtracks! If your answer to Who shot JFK? is I dunno nothing, I was cleaning my glasses, then this compilation CD is for you!As you may already know from seeing it hawked incessantly on late-night TV by Jerry Vale, Mob Hits is a compilation CD that attempts to capture the ambience of the modern gangster pic by assembling songs heard in key scenes of such films as The Godfather, GoodFellas, Donnie Brasco, and Casino. While licensing restrictions keep the music of Frank Sinatra from being part of this collection (odd, as the address on this package is the address for his long-time label Capitol Records), the selection and sequencing of well-known Italian "hits" by Vale, Dean Martin, Louis Prima, Lou Monte, Al Martino, and Julius LaRosa gets the job done with discretion and honor. And the liner notes even offer a toll-free number for homemade pasta sauce. --Gregg Turkington
