Free Music Review: A fine compilation of Milsap's Warner Brothers recordings
Hit: 4 Stars
Ronnie Milsap was making good music in the 60's and early 70's before the world knew who he was, and this is one album that proves it. Originally released in 1975 after Milsap had already become a country star on RCA, this CD compiles 10 worthy recordings from Ronnie's brief stay with Warner Brothers in 1971. Ronnie spent the first decade of his career as a little-known R&B singer in Atlanta and Memphis, and these recordings were made at the end of this period just before he moved to Nashville and turned country. Most of the songs here show Ronnie breaking away from the hardcore R&B sound of his 60's recordings to a more pop-country sound for the first time.
Ronnie's impressive ability to take songs made famous by others and sing them as well or even better than the original artists is showcased on this CD. The Mickey Newbury masterpiece "She even woke me up to say Goodbye" is one of the finest country songs ever written, and although Jerry Lee Lewis had a great country hit with it, Ronnie's version gives the song a more polished pop arrangement and his vocal performance is top-notch as always. The pop ballad "I just can't help Believing" could've easily been a hit for Ronnie if he had recorded the song before B.J. Thomas. He clearly delivers the song just as well as Thomas or Elvis ever did, and his remake of Roy Orbison's "Crying" is also excellent! Another noteworthy song is the upbeat "Loving you is a natural thing" which actually managed to get onto the charts although it wasn't a big hit.
Five of the best songs on this CD are also included on another CD released in 2006 titled "Ronnie Milsap" {shown at the top of this page} that is even better than this collection! Considering how obscure Milsap's pre-country recordings are, both CD's are wise purchases for serious Milsap fans.
