Free Music Review: RICKY NELSON SINGS - THIS ONE IS ONE OF THE BEST!
Hit: 5 Stars
Years ago when Ricky Nelson was THE singer to listen to and to see every week on TV, I was given these two 33 1/3 rpm LPs. They went everywhere with me, to parties, dances, sleepovers, and proms. That was a long time ago and I still have the LPs, albeit very worn out by now. So I was delighted to received a brand new CD of these same songs. The re-master is excellent! And the CD includes excellent biography/contents sheets with background info on all of the songs with rare photos. The sound quality of this CD is excellent! But one must remember that even back in Ricky Nelson's beginnings he had some of the best background musicians and singers and studios to surround him. The Nelson Sound was one of the best in the business! So if you can't afford the large 6 disc set at $[...] bucks, this is THE one to get. With a double disc and many of Nelson's best songs, a Rick Nelson fan must have this one. Some of my personal favorites were backed by the Jordonaires (who backed Elvis). So get your very own CD and enjoy them all over again! Joyce allienejoy@yahoo.comFree Music Review: Ricky's best!

I wholeheartedly agree with all the reviews below! Ricky Sings Again was his first stereo LP and one of his best in my opinion! I don't particularly care for Gloomy Sunday but I do love his version of It's All In The Game and one of my all time favorites, Sweeter Than You. I don't like the alternate fast version of this song at all but I love the original plus his version of the old Hank Williams hit, I Can't Help It. His version of Restless Kid is also very interesting! I have Johnny's version on a great box set of his early Columbia stuff from 1959-62. I have all of these songs by Rick on the 6 CD set of his complete Imperial/Verv recordings by Bear so I don't really need these albums. However if you are unable to afford the box set I would recommend this album and all the others such as his first two albums Ricky/Ricky Nelson. Great stuff indeed and a true rock and roll pioneer!Free Music Review: Golden voice in two-minute masterpieces in a great year...

Two Ricky Nelson records from late 1958 on one CD, with sensational sound quality. The reissue also has the original label design, the original artwork reproduced, original liner notes (sappy but sweet) and new liner notes (excellently done.)This is the way to reissue great stuff from the past...exact except for the addition of a handful of alternate takes tacked on at the end to add value and running time. Ricky wasn't the innovator Elvis was, and he wasn't the songwriter Buddy Holly was, but he was a fine vocalist and he chose superb sidemen and songs. If you care about "Fifties Rock 'N Roll" you cannot leave him out of your collection. He is great fun to hear, even today.Free Music Review: Whew!!! Been waiting for this one!!!

I had this LP as a little girl and wore it out! It has the great song penned by Johnny Cash, "Restless Kid", sung by a young Ricky and rumor has it that it may have been considered for the wonderful Western Movie, RIO BRAVO, and was, of course, left out. Ricky did sing in the movie and was great. (If you haven't seen the movie in a while, take another look!) All tracks here are digitally remastered and sound great!!! You even get the old Tommy Edwards tune "It's All In The Game" and Ricky does a super job on that one,too. The photo of Ricky on the cover is as dreamy as I remember, too. And here, you get two original albums for one great price!Free Music Review: Can you ever get tired of this? I keep playing it over and over again.

Response? Sheer ENTHUSIASM! No fillers here. Nothing but great songs from the great late fifties era of Rock'n Roll, sung by one of its greatest performers. As if this weren't enough, there are several bonus tracks, among which the old Billy Holiday song "Gloomy Sunday", with Ricky accompanying himself on acoustic guitar. A fascinating proof of his often surprising versatility. I sincerely warn everybody against refraining from acquiring this CD, seeing it would be SUCH a stupid thing to do.
