Free Music Review: The Real Oldies
Hit: 5 Stars
Most radio stations are owned by major corporations such as Clear Channel Communications. The playlists of the corporate oldies stations are so repetitive that many "oldies" are played more often than contemporary format stations play the newest hit. I often laugh at the infomercials punting a new "oldies" collection, bragging about how difficult finding each record would prove. What a joke! I could sit with a tape recorder and an FM Radio and tape every one of their "oldies" in an afternoon. With that in mind, I would rather invest money in a collection of songs that I can only hear by purchasing the recording. This collection has more than a few such songs. I found it rather contradictory that the jacket boasted about each songs position on the charts. This CD is supposed to be about lost gems and not hit records. Nevertheless, many great songs that were popular in the past are now as dead as records never given a chance. Admittedly, for a song to evoke memories, it had to have enough play time to make an impression yet not become too standard as to blur its intitial impact. Moreover, you had to have liked the song in the first place.Johnny Burnettes "Dreamin'" is still played by corporate radio. If you want a really hard to find and much better version, search for Junior Parrollo and the Four Jays. Gene McDaniel's "A Hundred Pounds of Clay" is hardly unknown but one of my favorite oldies of all time. The collection also offers a great New York do-wop song in the Chimes "Once in a While". Songs like "Bad to me" by Billy Kramer and the Dakota's and "I'll Never find another you" by The Seekers do not belong on this CD. Both mimic the Brittish Invasion sound so pervasive on today's corporate oldies station's playlists.
I bought this CD for two-songs in particular. One is track 7, "Close to Cathy" by Mike Clifford. The inside jacket cites a 1961 review that called it "dreadfully sappy." The obvious reason why "Close To Cathy" is a forgotten song. Yet the jacket applauds its musical virtues which made it a major hit in 1961. Another personal favoite is track 18, "Midnight Mary" by Joey Powers. The inside jacket compares it to Jimmie Rogers's "Secretly" as both songs are about forbiden lovers meeting clandestine. I always compared "Midnight Mary" with the far more famous and successful recording by Johnny Glilmour and "Sugar Shack." Both songs talk about meeting at a place. Sugar Shack is about open, friendly, and casual get togethers over expresso coffee. "Midnight Mary" (The title alone implies mystery)is about a secret place for a forbidden romantic (and possibly more) liason. Which story intrigues you more? Do I have to add that I consider "Midnight Mary" the musically superior song? The difference is that Gilmour had his record released before the Beatles blew away anything in its path.
I'm certain that this CD will have a quality song that conotes something special personally for you as well.
