Editorial Reviews

Two albums from 1965 and 1966 on a single CD. Both are studio recordings (as opposed to the many live albums Rivers seemed to record in his career). Produced by Lou Adler and arranged by Marty Paich.

5.0 out of 5 stars Johnny Rivers At His Best, March 6, 2005

Although nearly all the songs are cover versions but Johnny just did well with his own style. Songs like "I Should Have Known Better", "Rhythm Of The Rain", "Moody River" & "Do You Wanna Dance" are "THE BEST COVER VERSIONS" I've ever heard. Also contains the smash "Poor Side Of Town". If you are a diehard Johnny Rivers fan, you won't be disappointed.

I feel that this album deserves the best rating anyone can give because the vocals, music and the energy put into it are fabulous.

Johnny Rivers was a great cover artist of his day. This is a very enjoyable listen, including his take on "Mountain of Love", "Promised Land", "Moody River", and even "The Shadow of Your Smile." It contains the great "Poor Side of Town" but the reason I bought the CD was to get his outstanding version of Jimmy Webb's "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", which I love. Since this is not a greatest hits compilation, so there are a few weak spots (not bad ones), but overall this is a fine Johnny Rivers CD to add to a collection.
