Aces Back to Back is a compact disc featuring a compilation of songs by Bobby Darin plus a DVD containing archival video of Darin. The set was compiled and released in 2004 by Hyena Records in an agreement with the Bobby Darin estate 31 years after Darin's death.[1] [2] According to producer Joel Dorn, "The title says it all. It’s aces back to back, all left hooks and no filler.”[3]
The first seven of the selections were recorded live during Dean Martin Presents: The Bobby Darin Amusement Company, a 1972 television show, and The Bobby Darin Show in 1973. Two songs, "If I Were a Carpenter" and "Simple Song of Freedom", were from an unreleased live recording in 1969.[1] Two songs were culled from Darin's Big Sur sessions.[3]
Rounding out the compilation are Darin's "milk recordings," a collection of songs featured on a radio show sponsored by the American Dairy Association in the 1960s.[4] [5]
