Original Soundtrack
After two critically acclaimed but only moderately selling albums, los Lobos were hired to record songs for the film biography of Hispanic '50s rocker Ritchie Valens, resulting in this soundtrack album, which, in addition to eight los Lobos recordings, features tracks by Marshall Crenshaw, Brian Setzer, and others. Los Lobos' remake of the title ...

The Very Best of Jackie Wilson [Ace]
(1993)

by
Jackie Wilson
Similar to the U.S. greatest-hits collection of the same name (on Rhino), but with substantially more tracks. This 24-song anthology has all the familiar big singles on the Rhino compilation, but goes into his late-'60s-early-'70s material in greater depth. His best stuff was recorded before that, though, so you're not much (if at all) worse off ...

Jackie Wilson
Although one really had to see Jackie Wilson live to truly appreciate his considerable talents as a singer and entertainer, his legacy today rests with his recordings from the late 1950s and early '60s with Brunswick Records, the key tracks of which are collected here. Wilson in concert was sort of a cross between Sam Cooke and James Brown, ...

Brian Hyland
Del Shannon's sublime production of Brian Hyland on this 1970 album titled after the singer resulted in the Hyland's eighth hit (and one of his three biggest). The cover of Curtis Mayfield's "Gypsy Woman" is totally commercial and totally wonderful, as is this album. Of the eleven tunes there are five Del Shannon/Brian Hyland co-writes, all pretty ...

This one-man extravaganza finds John Fogerty plowing the same ground he worked with Creedence Clearwater Revival. This mix of originals and rock & roll classics finds him in fine voice, with the familiar vocal scream and hot guitars augmented in places by saxophones reminiscent of CCR's "Travelin' Band." Several of these songs rank with the top ...

Bobby Lewis
Bobby Lewis had somewhat more to offer than the title track of this 17-song collection -- a raw and honest "Lonely Teardrops," and the soulful "Oh Yes, I Love You," the powerful "Nothing But the Blues," and the upbeat "One Track Mind" are only a couple of highlights of this disc. The mastering is clean and the notes are exceptionally well detailed ...

Soul Classics: Best of the 60's
(1998)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
Shouldn't a best-of the '60s CD only include songs from the '60s? Last time you checked, "Lonely Teardrops" came out in 1958, and "Only You," by the Platters, was released in 1955. Despite these errors, Soul Classics: Best of the 60s, which is an assortment of soul from all corners, makes for good listening. The smooth baritone of Jerry Butler ...

Michelle Willson is a shouting blues singer with plenty of sass who is quite assertive and not shy about talking about her desires and feelings, some of which are fairly obvious. This CD is full of extroverted singing with fine backup from a '50s style jump-blues group that plays in the vein of Roomful of Blues. There are a liberal amount of tenor ...

However, it doesn't have them all -- the tremendous slow-crawl blues "Doggin' Around" is MIA -- not to mention that it ...

Michael Jackson
When a teenage Michael Jackson was known primarily for his membership in the Jackson 5, rock critics tended to dismiss him as bubblegum. But even at his most waifish, the pre-Thriller, pre-Quincy Jones Jackson could be soulful. Spanning 1971-1975, this two-CD set shows how inviting some of Jackson's early solo recordings were. Major hits like "Ben ...

Felts has an incredible voice (comparable to the late Jackie Wilson) and is able to handle most any style of music. The problem is, not many of these songs are up to his voice. Not a bad record, but something is missing that keeps it from being really good. Jim Worbois, All Music Guide

You'd need a wall full of early rock & roll records to get a truly definitive summary of the best sounds from the music's first decade. That qualification noted, this is about as good a sampling of the most important early rock & roll hits and performers as could be stuffed into a three-CD, 62-song set, and deserves the highest rating even if it ...

With two discs, 45 songs, and more than 135 minutes of playing time, does this two-CD anthology do justice to Brunswick Records, a key label for 1960s and 1970s Chicago soul? Pretty much, but some flaws keep it from being as good an overview as it could have been. You do get plenty of the major hits here by Jackie Wilson, Gene Chandler, the Young ...
