The Carpenters
This is where the duo began running a little short of material for albums, having raided many of the song catalogs with which the Carpenters were most familiar on their two previous LPs -- although it didn't seem it to anyone at the time except Richard Carpenter, since there were three hit singles present that ensured the album's popularity: "For ...

Shout! Factory's triple-disc set The British Beat: Best of the '60s was released in conjunction with the 2007 PBS documentary of the same name and, like the show, this compilation is targeted at a general audience, so collectors shouldn't be surprised that there's hardly anything unfamiliar here.

by
Burt Bacharach
While this three-CD, 75-song box set only has a half-dozen tracks actually credited to Burt Bacharach, it's certainly the best representation of his music likely to ever be assembled. Spanning the late '50s through a 1996 duet with Elvis Costello, this is the cream of his work as a composer (and, frequently, producer), properly concentrating ...

Here I Am: Ron Isley Sings Burt Bacharach

by
Ron Isley/Burt Bacharach
While the collaboration between soul singer supreme Ron Isley and composer and arranger Burt Bacharach does not have the adventurous scope of Bacharach's collaboration with Elvis Costello -- in that the tunes featured here are mostly Bacharach classics -- it is every bit as satisfying. At 62, Isley's voice is sweeter and more resonant than ever. ...

Make It Easy on Yourself
(1969)
more music like this
by
Burt Bacharach
Make It Easy on Yourself is a puzzling record. Some tracks are instrumental, some feature session vocalists, and Bacharach himself sings only one track. Still, the album is a lesson in great songwriting. Bacharach's charm is his skill in dealing with abstracts. Songs that aren't immediately pleasing to the ear grow on the listener. "I'll Never ...

This 2006 41-track double dose of Burt Bacharach's prolific career is obviously not nearly as comprehensive as Rhino's 1998 The Look of Love three-CD, 75-song package that remains the standard by which other collections of the songwriter's work will be judged. But it's not bad, either. Hip-O/Universal is no novice to the artist's pop work; the ...

Thanks in small part to the movie Swingers, the '90s brought about a reexamination of the hyperstylized space-age modern lounge music that emanated from the stereo systems of swinging bachelor pads in the late '50s and the '60s. Kitschy pop culture movements aside, this three-disc set features several outstanding soft rock and easy listening ...

Love Songs of Burt Bacharach [ Hip-O]

The Burt Bacharach revival was one of the most pleasing things about pop music in the late '90s, but it did produce an abundance of reissues, many of which seemed superfluous. So, it may be easy to dismiss Hip-O's Love Songs of Burt Bacharach as an unnecessary compilation, especially since it arrived in the summer of 1999, when the revival was ...
