3.0 out of 5 stars
Too much good stuff missing, January 27, 2002
This review is from: Best Of Tommy Roe, The: Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow (Audio CD)
There is a much better greatest hits album available for a budget price. Admittedly, at a super low price, this would seem like a bargain but the ten songs selected include some that should be left off in favor of three big hits which are not included. Missing are "Hooray for Hazel," "Heather Honey," and "Jam Up and Jelly Tight."
The cd does include three of my favorites. "Sheila," which is remenicent of Buddy Holly, was Tommy's first hit in 1962 and with a driving drum beat and use of the classic E, A, D chords, is similar to Holly's "Peggy Sue." His megahit "Dizzy" is also included and is part of any essential Tommy Roe collection. Dizzy is a classic bubble gum track as is another favorite on this cd, "Sweet Pea." Unfortunately, too much that is worth little is on this collection at the expense of some really good stuff. I highly recommend a good Tommy Roe collection but this is not the one.
