Greening your bathroom is easy (no need to go all ape sh*t).Splish splash, I was takin' a bathLong about a Saturday nightA-rub-dub, just relaxin' in the tubThinkin' everything was all right. Poor Bobby Darin -- there he was, thinking everything was all right, when he really should have been taking a four-minute shower under his low-flow showerhead.

Pianist and composer Roger Kellaway exists in that critical interface between little-known but respected session musician and known but unjustly little-recognized master. His recent recordings for IPO--Heroes (2007) and I Was There: Roger Kellaway Plays from the Bobby Darin Songbook (2005)--were very well received and revealed a professional, journeyman persistence. Kellaway is a national treasure...

Why bother picking up a CD re-release of a 1961 greatest hits LP that ran about half an hour and doesn't feature the later changes made by one of rock's most mercurial artists? Because Bobby Darin himself "narrated" this early best-of, which is somewhat like having the legend conduct his own biopic right there in the headphones with you.
