Deja Nu

by Dion

Description by OLDIES.com:

The young man who harmonized with a group of friends on a Bronx street corner has come a long way since the 1950s. This CD features the highly requested radio hit "Shu Bop" - a recording that could have been easily slotted between "A Teenager In Love" and "The Wanderer". Dion also honors his Doo Wop roots with "In New York City". Nine of the twelve songs are Dion compositions. Two Bruce Springsteen songs, "Book Of Dreams" and "If I Should Fall Behind," showcase Dion in a more contemporary light.

"... the best record [Dion's] made in years and one of the best records anyone had made this year."

"...the doo-wop Sinatra returns, ditching any pretense of modernity with this eerily precise recreation of circa-1962 boardwalk pop; it's the Bronx Vista Social Club. Miraculously, his voice has retained its warm, grainy cockiness (see the lovely "Everyday [That I'm With You]"), and his rama-lama-ding-dong take on Springsteen's "If I Should Fall Behind" is sweet..."
