Product Description: Nearly six decades after his first hit, Dion Dimucci's real deal voice having lost absolutely nothing, the King of the Bronx teams here with producer/multi-instrumentalist Jimmy Vivino on 10 new tracks, all but two of them co-written by Dion. The one that's getting most of the buzz is the title track, and rightfully so. A duet with Paul Simon, it's filled not so much with nostalgic pining as eternal love: for the place, the attitude and and the sense of belonging the city [of New York] offers. Burrowing down into specifics, the Chuck Berry-esque ''The Apollo King'' is Dion's homage to first hearing saxophonist Big Al Sears at the local temple of R&B, while ''Visionary Heart'' could've been a lost Doc Pomus composition. And it wouldn't be Dion without a nod to the blues: his take on Lightnin' Hopkins' ''Katie Mae'' is, all at once, somehow raw, slick, nasty and smooth.
