Album Review: It’s Love I’m After / You Do The Darndest Things, Baby by Guy Lombardo And His Royal Canadians Alright, buckle up, folks, because we’re diving into a slice of golden-age pop that feels like it was plucked straight outta your grandma’s record cabinet. This little gem from Guy Lombardo And His Royal Canadians—released under the Victor label—is packed with all the charm and schmaltz you’d expect from a Big Band classic. Written by Lew Pollack and Sidney D. Mitchell (two names that sound like they were destined to write jazzy bops), this album is pure vintage vibes. Let’s talk tracks. First up, "You Do The Darndest Things, Baby." Oh man, this one sticks in your brain like gum on a hot sidewalk. It’s got that playful, flirtatious energy that makes you wanna grab someone’s hand and spin ‘em around the dance floor—even if you’ve got two left feet. The vocals are smooth as butter, dripping with just enough sass to make it fun without crossing into “cheesy” territory (well… almost). There’s something about the way Lombardo’s crew sways through those big band horns—it’s like they’re winking at you while playing. You can practically picture the cigarette smoke curling in the air and couples twirling under dim lights. Corny? Maybe. Catchy? Absolutely. Then there’s "It’s Love I’m After = Es Amor Lo Que Busco." Now here’s where things get interesting. Not only does this track have an English version but also a Spanish twist—talk about ahead of its time! Back in the day, bilingual songs weren’t exactly dime-a-dozen, so kudos to Lombardo for giving us some cross-cultural flair. The melody itself is sweet and swoony, perfect for slow-dancing or staring dreamily out a rain-speckled window. But what really sells it is how earnestly romantic it feels. Like, yeah, sure, you’ve heard love songs before, but this one hits different—it’s like getting serenaded by a guy in a tuxedo who smells faintly of cologne and ambition. Cheesy? Sure. Effective? 100%. Now, let’s not pretend this album reinvented the wheel. It’s firmly rooted in its era, full of polished performances and predictable charm. But honestly? That’s kind of the point. Listening to these tracks feels like stepping into a time machine—one that smells faintly of vinyl and nostalgia. And hey, isn’t that why we listen to old music anyway? To feel connected to moments we never lived through? So would I recommend this album? If you’re into retro sounds and want to impress your hipster friends with obscure finds, absolutely. Just don’t blame me when you catch yourself humming “darndest things” during your morning commute. Final thought: Guy Lombardo might’ve been chasing love, but after listening to this, I think he found something even better—a spot in our hearts (and maybe Spotify playlists). Who knew darndest things could be so darn catchy?

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *It's Love I'm After / You Do The Darndest Things, Baby* by Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians blends pop, vocal harmonies, and big band energy. Fun fact—two legendary songwriters, Lew Pollack and Sidney D. Mitchell, penned the tracks. One of the songs even has a Spanish version titled *Es Amor Lo Que Busco*. Back in the day, it was released under the Victor label in the US. Big band fans probably loved dancing to this one!
