Timed to the release of the 2001 remake of the Sinatra-Martin-Davis anti-classic Ocean's 11, this 18-track compendium serves as less a best-of than an introduction to the high-living nightclub ethos the Rat Pack embodied. Along with some true knockouts, mostly from Frank's catalog, Eee-O 11's mostly beltingly upbeat tracks also include the impossibly corny (a "When You're Smiling" that seems to be putting Dino himself to sleep) and a couple of straitjacketed studio takes on the Pack's onstage antics (both Sammy duets). Handily, 11 culls one of the original movie's few high points--the rousing Davis blues that provides this disc's title--for a closer. Those drawn in by the newer flick will find this a welcome package, as will swingin' initiates looking for a road-trip CD soundtrack. --Rickey Wright

I mostly bought this because I was having trouble finding E-O-11 on another album. Glad I did -- lots of great recordings here. A nice addition to my collection.
 Best of the best. January 7, 2008
My husband loves the Rat Pack. This upbeat CD, with songs you don't hear everyday, is a hit with this family. I would certainly recommend this to anyone looking for music by Dean, Sammy and Frank.

I bought this for my 15 year old son who has recently discovered and loves the singers/standards/jazz of the 50's and 60's. He actually goes to sleep listening to this! So much better than all of the hip-hop "yelling at life" stuff out today that is so degrading.
A great selection from Frank, Sammy and Dean. I would recommend this to anyone.

A compilation of studio recordings by Messrs. The Rat Pack, (aka Frank, Dean and Sam) this irrepressibly upbeat CD is a fine intro to those of us (not me) too young to remember The Boys in their hey-hey days, and a gift of memory to those who do (including me).
Standards from The Rat Pack catalogue round out most of this disc, topped by Sammy Davis Jr.'s beautiful blues rendition of the original OCEAN'S ELEVEN theme song. Enjoy!
So put the top down and go cruising. It's a cool day inside, pallie.
Rat Pack rules March 9, 2006
This is a fabulous collection of Sammy, Frank and Dean. Above all it is worth it just for the duet of Sammy Davis, Jr. and Frank Sinatra singing "Me and my shadow." It's pure magic.
