Free Music Review: Another strong and varied 70s pop set from Rhino
Hit: 4 Stars
There was a time when pop radio wasn't homogenuous boy bands and interchangeable lowest common denominator hip-hop. The decade of the 70s was the best illustration of that, when you could hear the unabashed country tearjerker "Before the Next Teardrop Falls" next to bad seed anthem "Smokin' in the Boys Room".
This set pulls together 1 #1 hit, another 3 from the Top 10, and 2 from the lower reaches of the Top 40. Add to that a near-miss from the Sutherland Brothers and Quiver and you have this set.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Among the big hits, #3 hit "Boys Room" remains a classic and this is the definitive version replete with attitude and that great talked intro (Motley Crue, eat your heart out..). Country weepers "Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues" (top 10 peak) and #1 smash "Before the Next Teardrop Falls" also continue to charm. Orleans' delightful swayer "Dance with Me" (top 5) deserves its continued status at 70s/80s/90s soft rock radio outlets. Ian Thomas' "Painted Ladies" is a deadringer for America, Cymarrons' shimmering "Rings" (#17 charter) is a near instant singalong, and The Sutherland Brothers and Quiver's "(I Don't Want to Love You But) You Got Me Anyway" didn't make them a household name but I have no idea why. It's PERFECT from it's "na na" chorus to an Indian wardance drum bridge. You'll also need the ebullient "Dancing in the Moonlight" (a #13 hit).
LOWS:
Morris Alberts' "Feelings" practically defines maudlin. Nazareth's cover of "Love Hurts" is in that same territory for me though many obviously disagree. I'll stick with the Everlys on that one, thanks.
BOTTOM LINE:
Even the non-hits and weak charters are pretty good here. Worth your time.
