Los Lobos' remake of the title ...

Gloria Estefan
A stretch for Estefan, it's a genuinely worthy one, even if it sometimes strays too far from her Latin roots. This album of classic covers includes brilliant pop hits ("How Can I Be Sure," "Turn the Beat Around"), moments of genuine pathos ("Traces," "It's Too Late"), and some pure dreck ("You've Made Me So Very Happy"). While the record enhances ...

Ray Peterson
Collectables' reissue of Ray Peterson's RCA debut album, Tell Laura I Love Her, naturally features the hit title track, perhaps the definitive teen death song of the early '60s. The remainder of the disc contains the other 11 songs on the original record, which are all in a similar albeit less morbid vein. Apart from the singles "The Wonder of You ...

The Tymes
Philadelphia's Tymes were one of the sweetest vocal groups to ever step into a recording studio. Led by the warm, expressive tenor of George Williams, whose voice and phrasing were heavily influenced by Johnny Mathis, and blessed with a producer at Cameo Parkway Records, Billy Jackson, who knew exactly how to record them, the Tymes hit right out ...

by
Various Artists
Brian Wilson did quite a bit of production work outside of his main gig with the Beach Boys, especially in the early to mid-'60s. This 23-track collection -- entirely drawn from pre-1966 releases, except for a 1969 single by the Honeys and a 1973 single by American Spring -- doesn't round up all of them, as some were unavailable for contractual ...

Supported by the Antone's house band, Doug Sahm runs through 15 R&B and doo-wop classics for Juke Box Music. Oddly there's no Tex-Mex here, considering that Sahm is one of the defining figures of the genre, but that's just a minor complaint, since the music here is just terrific. There's a wonderful relaxed quality to the performances, and the ...

The first significant reissue of the McGuire Sisters' classic recordings features 50 songs, covering the years 1952-1965 (the latter from their final ABC-Paramount album), remastered in the late 1990s and, at times, very impressive. Their music can be an acquired taste, evocative as it is of a pre-rock & roll environment and, indeed, competing at ...

The first comprehensive anthology of Ray Peterson's RCA Victor and Dunes recordings rounds up most of his hits and shows the frail-looking teen idol -- known primarily for his contribution to the teen tragedy craze, "Tell Laura I Love Him" -- to be a talented pop vocalist with a piercing falsetto.

Brook Benton
Brook Benton recorded almost all of his hits for Mercury Records between 1959 and 1964. He then signed to RCA Victor, apparently with the intention of moving from the singles charts to the LP charts and becoming what they used to call an "all-around entertainer." At least, that's the impression you get from this 20-track, 55-minute compilation of ...

No recording date for this show is given in the liner notes, but the small print does point out that most of these songs first saw release on a Barnaby Records album in 1975.

Since the television series Happy Days, which brought us The Fonz, was based, more or less, on the movie American Graffiti, which spawned an immensely successful soundtrack album made up of post-Elvis, pre-Beatles golden oldies, it only seems appropriate that Happy Days should have a similar collection. In fact, since it was a series, there should ...

Lou Rawls
When Lou Rawls returned to Blue Note, he was given creative carte blanche to cut the kind of albums he'd made in the 1960s and '70s. This meant a return to recording jazzy standards, blues covers and sophisticated, yet soulful R&B. There were examples of all these styles on this 1990 album, but it lacked either the big name guest stars who ...
