Beginning his career as a teen idol in the late 1950's, actor and singer James Darren first rose to fame via his role in the popular 1959 hit movie Gidget, and soon after had a string of pop hits including the million seller "Goodbye Cruel World" in 1961. In 1998 he received renewed popularity as a singer via his role as holographic crooner and advice-giver Vic Fontaine in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Presented here is Darren's rare 1971 album, "Mammy Blue" performing popular tunes ranging from Hank Williams to the Beatles. All selections newly remastered.

Worth Waiting For
This is my second favorite James Darren album (All being the first). There is a mix of styles including country (Cold, Cold Heart) and rock (a Beatles mash-up and a Rolling Stones mash-up) that has broad appeal. Anyone who is a true fan should have this CD -- just to see how wide his range of styles can be. He is a very talented man. Now if only the other 1970's album (Love Songs fro the Movies) would be released as a CD.

収録曲は10曲です。
商品説明の曲目リストには8曲しか挙げてありませんが、収録曲は全10曲（メドレーがあるので細かくいえば12曲）です。Hello,Goodbye / We Can Work It OutCold,Cold Heart上記2曲が抜けています。（どうしてこんなことになっているのでしょうか）オリジナル盤は1971年のリリース、ジェームズ・ダーレン35歳の頃です。長いキャリアの中で歌声が少しずつ変わっていっているのですが、男っぽさと甘さが混じったこの頃の声もとても素敵です。はば広いジャンルの歌が歌える人で、このアルバムにもソウルフルな曲、甘いバラード、カントリー、ハードロック等収めていて、どれも素晴らしいと思います。"Hello,Goodbye" はビートルズとはまた違った味と力強さがあり、"My Pledge Of Love " の最初から最後まで疾走しているようなパワフルな歌い方には爽快感があります。なお、このデジタルリマスター版には曲目のみ記載されていて、曲の長さや作詞作曲者名などの情報はありません。
