Review by Deisi Franco

The Lord Made A Peanut by Guy Mitchell Mit Ray Conniff Und Seinem Orchester – A Witty Spin Through This Pop Gem Alright, let’s dive into The Lord Made A Peanut, a quirky little pop album from the vaults of Germany's Philips label. It’s got that retro charm you didn’t know you needed, with Guy Mitchell crooning like he owns the joint and Ray Conniff’s orchestra adding just enough pizzazz to keep things snappy. The title alone—The Lord Made A Peanut—is enough to make you go, “Wait… what?” But hey, curiosity killed the cat, so let’s see if this album scratches the itch. First up, there’s “(I’m Walkin’ Down A) One Way Street.” Now, this track is pure earworm material. You’ll find yourself humming it while waiting for your toast to pop or pretending not to notice someone cutting in line at the grocery store. Guy Mitchell delivers it with a mix of swagger and sincerity, like he's giving life advice but also trying to sell you something. The brass section? Chef’s kiss. It swings without being obnoxious, which is rare for music from this era—often it veers into "too much fluff" territory. Not here though. This tune sticks because it feels lived-in, like an old leather jacket that still smells kinda cool. Then there’s the titular track, “The Lord Made A Peanut.” I mean... come on. Who even thinks of writing a song about peanuts? And yet, somehow, it works. Maybe it’s the absurdity of it all, or maybe it’s how Guy sings it like he genuinely believes peanuts are holy gifts from above. Either way, it’s impossible not to chuckle when he gets into the gospel-inspired bits. The backing choir adds this churchy vibe that makes you wanna grab some peanuts and start praising… well, whoever made them. Is it catchy? Absolutely. Will you question humanity's priorities after listening? Probably. What really stands out about this record isn’t just its oddball concept—it’s how effortlessly fun it feels. There’s no pretense here, no overthinking. It’s just a bunch of talented folks having a blast making music about random stuff like one-way streets and legumes. Honestly, we could use more albums like this today. Imagine modern pop stars dropping tracks about office supplies or traffic cones. We’d never be bored again! So yeah, The Lord Made A Peanut might not change your life, but it’ll definitely lighten your mood. If anything, it reminds us that sometimes the best art comes from embracing the weirdness of existence. Peanuts, one-way streets, and all. Final thought: Did they ever consider naming the album Peanuts & Pavement? Asking for a friend.
