Hit: 5 Stars
I Love Rock & Roll: Hits of the '60s, Vol. 2 has some pretty smart sounding rock tunes from the remarkable 1960s. The sound quality is very good and I like the different artists they put on this album. The artwork is also nicely done.
"All Day And All Of The Night" starts it off with The Kinks doing their usual great job on this hot song. The modulations between major and minor keys blow me away and the lyrics sure are cool! Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody To Love" has a great late `60s feel that always makes me smile when I hear it; and The Byrds do their awesome "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season)." "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season)" is an exquisite piece of music and The Byrds perform this flawlessly with guitars, percussion and some mighty fine harmonizing.
The Mamas & The Papas perform " Monday, Monday" with so much style it really amazes me; this song is a work of art with their harmonizing and the key changes make it awesome. I love that percussion on "Monday, Monday," too.
Steppenwolf makes us change gears quite a bit for their hit song "Born To Be Wild." "Born To be Wild" has terrific electric guitars, percussion and some mighty fine singing. The Tokens weight in with their "The Lion Sleeps Tonight;" and I like how they have the background vocals supporting even more vocals. The Token sing this without a superfluous note and I really like that. Listen also for Fontella Bass doing "Rescue Me;" this remains one of my all-time favorite songs from the 1960s. "Rescue Me" sounds a bit like something The Supremes would have released but Fontella holds this down well and she makes this song her own with her fine vocals and a voice as clear as a bell.
B.J. Thomas sings "Hooked On A Feeling;" this softer rock sound still sounds good today and the musical arrangement is very well done. B. J. Thomas has a strong voice and his excellent diction bolsters his performance. The album ends beautifully with The Dixie Cups performing their adorable little number called "Chapel Of Love." "Chapel Of Love" is a relentlessly optimistic tune with a catchy melody that I could never forget. It's a very beautiful song.
As someone who reviews a lot of these CDs I would say that this is easily one of the better ones out there for tunes from the great 1960s. Keep in mind, of course, that this is a single CD retrospective and that people wanting a very, very complete look back at this decade would do well to choose a box set of CDs instead of any single CD.
