All-Time Great Instrumental Hits, Vol. 1 Review

by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

All-Time Great Instrumental Hits, Vol. 1 is a budget-priced, 12-track collection of easy listening hits from the '50s and '60s by Les Baxter ("Unchained Melody," "The Poor People of Paris"), Nelson Riddle ("Lisbon Antigua"), Ferrante & Teicher ("Exodus"), Ray Anthony ("Dragnet," "Up a Lazy River," "Peter Gunn"), Les Paul ("Whispering"), Don Costa ("Never on Sunday") and Roger Williams ("Born Free"). It's a bit of a scattershot collection, but it's an entertaining listen.
