3.0 out of 5 stars Great voice but variable material/production lets down, August 31, 2008

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

I bought this CD after buying and being knocked out by his prior recording of "Searching for the Dolphins" and sadly received it the week I read of his recent death in "MOJO" magazine.

This CD covers 20 single and LP tracks of his recordings over two years for the Bell distributed Rocky Road label. It includes several Bilboard hits across that period and showcases again what a great voice the guy had. While a crop of good producers (including Johnny Rivers; Johnny Bristol and Steve Cropper) and some surprises (notably a steaming Creedence's "Born on the Bayou") the lack of top flight songs and some variable production (remembering that he was facing the onslaught of disco music at this time) leave it as an enjoyable listening but not up to the standard of "Dolphins" which is where I would recommend most new listeners start.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do NOT waste your money on this CD., August 11, 2008

Don't let the selection of tracks listed for this CD sucker you into buying this. It's garbage. 85% of the tracks on it are in mono, and all of the tracks sound like they were downloaded off the internet at a low bit rate. In other words, they sound swooshy and distorted. A total waste of money. I don't know how the sound quality is on the other Al Wilson best of CDs, but this one is definitely one to avoid. It's a shame, because it has nice packaging.
