Free Music Review: Hard Man To Categorize
Hit: 5 Stars
Record store owners have a difficult time trying to figure out where to place B.J. Thomas CDs. Sometimes you find in him the Country section, other times in the pop area. And that pretty well sums up his career - something like that of Sandy Posey and Brenda Lee before him.
Someone listening to his songs would likely say country right off the bat. And yet, from his first charted hit in 1966 up to 1975's (Hey, Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song [# 1 on each of the Country, Billboard Pop Hot 100, and Adult Contemporary (AC) charts], all 20 of his hit singles scored only on the Hot 100 and, beginning in 1969, the AC charts.
That includes the very definitely Country (and a Hank Williams standard) I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, which was his first hit for Sceptor and a # 8 Hot 100 in March/April 1966, Billy And Sue [recorded in 1964 and released then on both the Bragg and Warner labels before becoming a 1966 # 34 Hot 100 hit on the Hickory label in the summer of 1966 credited to B.J. Thomas And The Triumphs], Tomorrow Never Comes [# 80 Hot 100 in late 1966], and I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love With You}, another Williams tune that reached # 94 Hot 100 in May 1967.
Not even Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head [# 1 Hot 100 and AC in late 1969] could dent the Country charts. But then, from 1975 to his last charter in 1986 (Night Life- # 59 Country] just four of his 16 hits would make the Hot 100, although 12 would score on the related AC charts. A very strange sequence of events matched only by Posey and Lee as mentioned above. In total he would have 26 Hot 100, 24 AC, and 16 Country hits.
In this excellent AAD set from Rhino you get 18 of those Hot 100 hits along with five pages of liner notes by Todd Everett which, among other things, relates a fascinating story behind the making of one of my all-time favourite B.J. Thomas hits, Rock And Roll Lullaby [# 1 AC and # 15 Hot 100 in early 1972]. There are also several more photos of Thomas, and a partial discography of the contents showing original label numbers and dates, but no chart details.
Highly recommended.
