Free Music Review: "All the World Over So Easy to See, People Everywhere Just Got to Read Me"
Hit: 5 Stars

As fans of mine know, your Metamorpho has 3 very distinct spirit guides that help him out when things get tough. I never did tell you much about Chance. Well, he works as DeNiro's stand-in double because of his austere looks and deadly stare. A raging bull of a man, he has use for very few words. In fact, he grunts more than he talks, which presents a problem when information is required. The only weakness he has is peanut butter sandwichs, sang-froid and sangria, although not necessarily in that order. He likes to shave his head when not working and sports a lone, small gold hooped earring. He says "real men" wear them these days. I am not about to argue. ;)

So when he called and said he was coming to visit, I immediately sent the sea serpent and dragon to Mythical Manor, a pet hostel of sorts. They'll be safe there I figured. However, I was excited when he said he was bringing some music with him, in particular The Ultimate Rascals. Chance is a big 60's music fan and this type of music appealed to both him and Guido. Why, heck, it appeals to ALOT of people. The reasons are no secret by now.

The Rascals came out of the metropolitan New York club scene in the 60's. They were purveyors of blue-eyed soul. Yet, I tend to think they were much more. They were messengers of the joy in music, and provided a very special spark to their decade. One thing is for sure, they were never boring and never, ever allowed their audience to sink into despair. Even when confronted with a difficult girlfriend, as in "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore", they give you a rockin' lift while taking a hard stance. No use in pining over one girl when there's another one down at the end of the bar!

Aside from that, their songs concentrated on good feelings, soul uplifts, and pop hooks to die for. Mix in youthful exhuberence and you get some idea of what is contained here. There are no copy cat songs. Each one is a gem unto itself. Kids from 1 to 92 will feel the rush of "Good Lovin'", bop their heads to "I've Been Lonely Too Long", march on Washington with "People Got to Be Free", and ride on clouds with "It's Wonderful". And don't forget the diversity of visions here. Your beloved Metamorpho feels like he's in a gondola cruising the waterways of Venice with "How Can I Be Sure", being served breakfast in France (orange marmalade please) in "A Beautiful Morning", and walking central park with no muggers about in "Groovin'". The songs here are fun, diverse and, most of all, fill you with the thankfulness of being alive. Yes Rascals, your music was, indeed, "Wonderful".

In closing, I think it's fair to say that each of their 60's albums contain alot of the quality you find here. I recommend that you investigate all of them. But, barring that, as far as a collection of their efforts go, this one shines as a very, very superb reminder of the generous happiness music can provide. Uh-Oh, I hear the castle doorbell! That must be Chance. Where's my list? Here it is, o.k. Pets in safe place-check; bar heavily stocked with sangria-check; all DeNiro dvds ready to view-check; peanut butter - ONE JAR! Excuse me my people, I've got to quickly call the store and have them deliver 5 cases post haste!

easy rollin' -- your nervous, Metamorpho ;)
