Ricky Nelson's voice is smooth as velvet on every track from this beloved 1960 album, which found him leaving his rockabilly past behind and fully embracing his crooner side. We can't help swaying to the beat of dreamy love songs like the aching "I'm Not Afraid," or snapping our fingers to the horn-filled swinger "Here I Go Again" or the Sinatra-esque "Baby, Won't You Please Come Home." Still, the flirty "Hey Pretty Baby" has every bit of the coltish teenage swing of his early hits.
