If you remember and treasure the music of Glenn from the 60's, keep those memories intact and skip this album. If this were a collection of Glenn's greatest hits, it would be a wonderful find, but it isn't and it isn't. The songs are poorly, almost amateurishly arranged and the background instrumentals uninspired. There are a few cuts where Glenn's wonderful voice and styling overcomes the other limitations, but generally even he can't save this poor presentation. I was delighted tonight to find that The Lonely Things is available on CD. I plan to order that to replace my worn-out vinyl album. I recommend that others do the same.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glenn Still the Best, January 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: All Time Favorites (Audio CD)

I don't know what a couple of the other reviewers are listening to. Glenn is in fine voice on these recordings. As on his other albums, Glenn has carefully chosen songs that suit him lyrically and musically. Most of these songs have been hits for other singers, and on most of them Glenn's version is better than the original. I would go so far as to say Glenn does the best versions I've ever heard of songs such as "Help Me Make It Through the Night," "Green, Green Grass of Home," and many of the other songs on this 2-CD set. No one can sing a sad song like Glenn Yarbrough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great new versions of standards, June 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: All Time Favorites (Audio CD)

By no means a "greatest hits" collection; rather, Glenn has, like so many others, done an album containing new versions of other people's songs. And WHAT an album! It's rare when I find myself knowing nearly every song before-the-fact. I recently had the occasion to play EVERY Limeliters and Yarbrough LP or CD in my collection, and to my surprise, THIS wound up being one of my favorite of his "solo" albums. Pretty impressive! There's only one cheat here: "Baby The Rain Must Fall" is the original recording! (But then, how could he have out-done HIMSELF?) I should admit that Glenn's solo music is NOT really among my favorite stuff; but I think THIS album will be getting a lot of play. Especially "Somewhere My Love" (my pick for best track of the album!).
