Free Music Review: answers, but not to everything
Hit: 5 Stars
this is a great collection of answer songs, but not all the best are included. "i'll save the last dance for you" by damita jo" isn't included. what is on the cd is excellent quality and very interesting listening, especially since most were never hits or played on the radio. what is needed now is an answer cd with male artists like "your boyfriend's back" by bobby comstock.
The Answer to Everything: Girl Answer Songs of the 60s Poster
For every major hit that posed a lover's question, or had you crying in your beer back in the sixties, there was the reassuring certainty of the 'answer' song. Answer records were a prevailing American phenomenon. Usually rendered by female artists, they were an expedient way to hitch a ride on the coat tails of an existing hit. Deejays favored them for their topical value and many answer records from the Golden Age made the charts in their own right.Here are 28 of the best, all by female performers save for one tune by 'guest boy' Bertelle Dache whose 'Not Just Tomorrow, But Always', a riposte to the Shirelles' smash 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow', is among the sought-after highlights of the set. Others include Gerri Granger's sinewy 'Just Tell Him Jane Said Hello', produced by Leiber and Stoller in the wake of Elvis' 'Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello', Tracey Dey's 'Jerry (I'm Your Sherry)', which features a couple of the 4 Seasons on background vocals and Jody Miller's Grammy award winning 'Queen Of The House', which became a smash to rival 'King Of The Road'. Even wackier than the original is 'They Took You Away - I'm Glad, I'm Glad' by Josephine, a timely 'answer' to 'They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!' by Napoleon XIV. Regarded as the better of the two records, this suffered a radio ban and is extremely rare.
Many of the titles on this extremely potent and novel compilation appear on CD for the first time and all are sourced from the best master tapes. It is the only comprehensive answer song compilation on the market and we have given it our best attention.
Compiled and annotated by Rob Finnis, it comes with a gorgeous booklet full to bursting with a reviews, ads and label shots that evoke the phenomenon almost as much as the music itself.
