(1968)

by
Richard Harris
The artist's first collaboration with composer/producer Jimmy Webb is a great record, even 35 years later, encompassing pop, rock, elements of classical music, and even pop-soul in a body of brilliant, bittersweet romantic songs by Webb, all presented in a consistently affecting and powerful vocal performance by Harris. Harris treaded onto Frank ...

This CD reissue from England is almost (but not quite) identical to Raven Records' Richard Harris: The Webb Sessions 1968-69 from Australia, combining the contents of the albums A Tramp Shining and The Yard Went on Forever. The difference is the absence of the last Richard Harris-Jimmy Webb collaboration, "One of the Nicer Things," which appeared ...

One has to love Raven Records in Australia. Their reissues of classic and forgotten recordings by artists both marginal and mainstream are something to behold. Presentation is everything. They don't worry about deluxe packages that become fetish objects. Instead, they present the recordings they re-release with dignity; with great remastered sound ...

Greatest Hits
(1990)

by
The Jive Five
This contains all the Brooklynites' early hits and just-as-good B-sides, but omits later recordings, so it isn't definitive. Still, it doesn't get much better than "My True Story," "Begging You Please," "Hurry Back," "Never, Never," and "These Golden Rings," all heavyweight, doo wop-influenced ballads. The syncopated "Rain" has the same feel of ...

The Yard Went on Forever...
(1969)
more music like this
by
Richard Harris
"MacArthur Park" off of A Tramp Shining may have been the monster hit, but The Yard Went on Forever is the stronger album. Recorded a year after the hit record, it was conceived by songwriter/producer Webb as a Harris project from the beginning, so the register is right and his singing voice now slips perfectly into each song -- the lyrics are ...

Collectors Gold Series is a resequenced reissue of Relic Records' anthology My True Story, with the same mastering job and liner notes.

Jimmy Webb
This 18-song compilation is an interesting mixture of some of the best-known -- and a few of the least-favored -- versions of Jimmy Webb's songs, all of which are eminently listenable. Webb's own version of "Didn't We" comes off very well in the company of renditions of "If This Were the Last Song," "If Ships Were Made to Sail," "Where's the ...

The Richard Harris Love Album

Richard Harris
The success of Richard Harris as a pop singer may seem sort of strange in retrospect. Sure, he was the star of films like "A Man Called Horse" and "Camelot" -- and the sight of him on the cover of this 1970 collection in full hippie regalia may point towards either high camp comedy or at least, some sort of counter-cultural mockery -- it is, in ...

The Anthology 1968-1974: Man of Words collects the best cuts of actor/singer Richard Harris' music career beginning with his late-'60s work with legendary songwriter Jimmy Webb. The most well-known of these tracks is Harris' classic version of Webb's enigmatic pop song "MacArthur Park" from the 1968 album A Tramp Shining. Harris was a well ...

A U.K. two-fer of Richard Harris' first two albums, 1968's A Tramp Shining and 1969's The Yard Went on Forever, The Webb Sessions: 1968-1969 is a handy introduction to some of the most over the top work by Jim Webb, perhaps the most cheerfully perverse songwriter of the '60s. Gifted with a brilliant sense of melody and an ear for wonderfully rich, ...

Latter-day doo wop legends the Jive Five were a quintet who added some polish to the basic street corner harmony formula without robbing the sound of its passion and charm, and their lead singer, tenor Eugene Pitt, was simply one of the finest voices the genre would ever produce. While the Jive Five's recording career spanned four decades, ...
