Review by Wade Taylor

Bing Bob: A Timeless Duet That Still Swings Let’s get one thing straight—when Bing Crosby and Bob Hope team up, you don’t just listen; you experience. Released in 1983 on Spokane Records, Bing Bob is a jazz-pop gem that feels like a warm hug from the past. With its vocal-heavy style and retro charm, this album isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel—it’s perfect just as it is. Now, I gotta say, not every track hits the same way for me. But two songs stuck in my head like gum under a diner table: “Swinging On A Star” and “I’ll Be Seeing You.” The first one? Pure magic. It’s got this laid-back swing vibe that makes you wanna grab a fedora and start tap-dancing down Main Street. Bob and Bing trade lines like old pals sharing stories over whiskey sours—you can practically hear their grins through the speakers. And when they harmonize? Forget about it. Chills. Then there’s “I’ll Be Seeing You,” which flips the mood entirely. This one’s slower, softer, almost haunting. Bing’s voice carries so much weight here—it’s like he’s singing directly to your soul. Paired with Bob’s subtle backing vocals, it feels bittersweet, like saying goodbye to someone you’re not ready to let go of yet. Honestly, after hearing this version, other renditions feel… well, kinda flat. The rest of the album keeps things lively too. Tracks like “Put It There Pal” and “Take It Easy” have that classic upbeat energy we expect from these legends. Even lesser-known tunes like “Milkman” bring something quirky to the mix (seriously, who writes a song about a milkman anymore?). Joe Sinnott’s illustration on the cover perfectly captures the playful spirit inside—a little cartoonish, but hey, it works. What strikes me most about Bing Bob is how effortless it all feels. These guys weren’t chasing trends or trying to impress critics—they were just doing what they did best: making music that connects. Sure, some parts might sound dated now, but isn’t that part of the charm? Listening to this record is like flipping through an old photo album—it’s nostalgic, imperfect, and utterly human. Here’s the kicker though: why’d it take till 1983 for these two icons to drop a collab? Seems wild, right? Maybe they were saving the good stuff for last. Either way, Bing Bob proves great voices never go out of style—even if the outfits do. So pour yourself a drink, turn up the volume, and let Bing and Bob remind you why music like this will always have a place in our hearts—and maybe even on your playlist. Cheers to that!
