Review by Diminished Value Report

Alright, let’s dive into Ronnie Aldrich’s What Kind Of Fool Am I, a gem from 1962 that honestly feels like slipping into a warm bath after a long day. Released on London Records, this album is a mix of Jazz, Stage & Screen, and Pop vibes—all wrapped up in that Easy Listening style that just hits differently. It's the kind of record you throw on when you're chilling at home or maybe pretending to be fancy during dinner prep. Now, I gotta talk about the title track, "What Kind Of Fool Am I." Man, it’s one of those songs where you can almost picture some old-school crooner belting it out under a single spotlight. The piano work here by Aldrich? Absolutely killer. Like, it doesn’t try too hard—it’s smooth, classy, but still packs an emotional punch. You don’t even need lyrics to feel what he’s saying; the melody does all the talking. Honestly, every time I hear it, I’m reminded of why simplicity rocks. No frills, no over-the-top drama—just pure mood-setting magic. Then there’s "Once In A Lifetime." This one sticks with me because it’s got this dreamy quality that makes you wanna slow dance in your living room, even if no one’s watching (or cares). There’s something about how Aldrich layers the instrumentation—it’s lush without being overwhelming. It’s not trying to blow your mind, but instead sneaks up on you and leaves you thinking, “Wow, I could listen to this forever.” And yeah, maybe I’ve had moments where I’ve hit repeat a few too many times… sue me! Here’s the thing: albums like this don’t get made anymore. Not really. Nowadays, everything has to be loud, flashy, or TikTok-friendly. But back then? Artists like Ronnie Aldrich weren’t afraid to let things breathe. They trusted the listener to sit down, tune in, and just feel. So, would I recommend this album? Duh. It’s perfect for anyone who digs vintage sounds or wants background music that actually has soul. Honestly, listening to this feels like finding a dusty vinyl at a thrift store and realizing it’s gold. Oh, and fun fact—I swear my cat loves it too. She keeps staring at the speaker like she knows something I don’t. Weird, right?
