CD PICK’S OF THE MONTH: JULY 2016 THIS MONTH'S FAB FOUR…
THE MOVE – MOVE (ESOTERIC / CHERRY RED)
My old band, The Move, formed in 1966. In 1967 we had the first of our ten hit singles and in 1968 I played on my first ever hit album, simply titled ‘Move’. This is now re-released as part of a super 3-CD package, taking in that original debut album with much more besides, including hit singles Flowers In The Rain and Fire Brigade, some fine Roy Wood compositions like Useless Information, Cherry Blossom Clinic and The Girl Outside, as well as cover versions including Zing Went The Strings Of My Heart – featuring yours truly on a rare lead vocal appearance !
It's fascinating to hear again the many bonus tracks on this collection, which include some recordings that I didn't know still existed, like the first three songs we ever recorded together, at a studio in Birmingham in 1966 – You're The One I Need, Winter Song and The Fugitive.
Beautifully packaged, this great collection of tracks also includes a well-illustrated and informative booklet and a psychedelic Move poster.
THE REAL DOLLY PARTON (SONY)
Dolly Parton was born in Sevier County, Tennessee in January 1946 and by the age of 11 she was a regular performer on a nearby radio station in Knoxville. In 1964 she moved to Nashville, the heart of country music, and between 1967 and 1973 really established herself by appearing weekly on the Porter Wagoner TV show, which aired all over the USA. Embarking on a solo career in 1974, she had a hit record with the self-penned Jolene and the rest, as they say, is history.
She went on to notch up more hits with the likes of Here You Come Again, Islands In The Stream, 9 to 5 and the brilliant I Will Always Love You, another song that she wrote herself. There are 55 tracks in all on this budget priced, triple-CD box set and as well as the aforementioned hits you'll also find Dolly's renditions of The Last Thing On My Mind, In The Ghetto and House Of The Rising Sun.
NICOLETTE LARSON – NICOLETTE/IN THE NICK OF TIME/RADIOLAND (EDSEL)
Nicolette Larson was born in 1952 in Helena, Montana and moved to San Francisco in 1975 to embark on a career in music. She soon found success as a member of the popular Commander Cody And His Lost Planet Airmen, before becoming an in demand session singer and working with the likes of Hoyt Axton, Billy Joe Shavers, Jesse Winchester, Emmy Lou Harris, Jessie Colin Young and Neil Young.
This double-CD package collects together her first three solo albums. As well as many self-written songs, there are lovely versions of Sam Cooke's You Send Me, Lowell George's Long Distance Love Affair and Allen Touissant's Tears Tears And More Tears
BOBBY DARIN – SINGS THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE / IN A BROADWAY BAG (EDSEL)
To celebrate their 50th anniversary, Edsel have released two albums from the great Bobby Darin in digipak CD form. The influence and popularity of the Las Vegas stylings of Darin continue, despite his untimely death in 1973, at the age of 37.
Sings The Shadow Of Your Smile (1966) features the five movie songs nominated for Academy Awards that year, including Cat Ballou and What's New Pussycat. In A Broadway Bag (1966) displays his winning style on a selection of outstanding songs from the then current Broadway musicals.. Tracks include Mame, Don't Rain On My Parade and Try To Remember .
