4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Nashville-based "girl-group" pop!, January 27, 2003

Even though she was nominally a "country" artist, the squeeky-voiced Sue Thompson was really much more in a teen pop and girl group singer, whose work in the early 1960s skirted the edges of rock'n'roll and pop, very much modeled after Brenda Lee and her highly successful crossover formula. For fans of the style, Thompson's early singles offer a swell "new" set of teenpop tunes outside the usual Brill Building standards by Carole King and her pals. John D. Loudermilk wrote most of these tunes, which were recorded for the independent Hickory label, and they are actually pretty fun to listen to. This 18-song CD is more generously programmed than other Thompson best-ofs, and sticks more strictly to her early work. It's not very country, but it is a lot of fun!

I wanted a Sue Thompson music CD with the songs: Sad Movies, Paper Tiger, Have A Good Time, Two Of A Kind, and If A Boy Only Knew. It's a pleasure to listen to her girlish voice.
