Free Music Review: good album--but Rhino cops out with only twelve songs
Hit: 4 Stars
Super Hits of the '70s: Have a Nice Day, Vol. 8 has twelve tracks to help bring back the good memories of those years gone by. The quality of the sound is excellent.
Jo Jo Gunne's "Run Run Run" has a funky rock flavor to it with some incredible guitar playing--love it! The Addrisi Brothers' "We've Got To Get It On Again" is a tune that doesn't ring a bell with me although it's a rather good song. The musical arrangement is very good.
Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show perform an anemic "Sylvia's Mother;" although they harmonize well and the musical arrangement is solid I just don't quite care for the song anyway. It's tough to put it into words; but "Sylvia's Mother" is just one of those middling songs that never quite make it over the fence.
"Nice To Be With You" by Gallery features singing and music that will make you want to jump up and start dancing wherever you are; I really like this ballad. There's also the stunning "Day By Day" from the musical Godspell. Day By Day" features great sound effects using percussion, backup vocalists and strong singing by Robin Lamont.
Another major highlight of this album is by the great Gilbert O'Sullivan. He sings "Alone Again (Naturally)" with all the passion of an exceptionally talented man. This melancholy ballad is sure to please you very much.
"Hold Your Head Up" by Argent is good, solid `70s rock with a beat you won't forget anytime soon. They sing this to perfection; I think this was easily one of their biggest hits ever. Listen also a delightful performance by the immortal Sammy Davis, Jr. as he performs "The Candy Man." The backup chorus supports Sammy well and he sings this strong with great emotion. "The Candy Man" is so joyful it's bound to make you happy when you listen to it.
This is a good installment in the CD series by Rhino; but I have my usual complaint. The album has only twelve songs. They could have--and should have--done better. Why not add a song or two? The last number, "Motorcycle Mama," could have been left off and another stronger number substituted at the very least.
Overall, people who enjoy the `70s sound will appreciate this album. It's got some good numbers although it's a tad short at twelve tracks. The last number could have been dropped and replaced by another song. Oh, well. I will make this a four star review because of my disappointment; but still it's a good CD.
