4.0 out of 5 stars Pop Goes The Country, May 20, 2003

By

This review is from: Have a Nice Day 4 (Audio CD)

Through the passage of three decades, most pop music listeners may forget that the year 1971 was a fertile period for crossover hits from the country-western genre.

This CD brings that fact into sharp focus with the biggest hits in the respective careers of Lynn Anderson ("Rose Garden"), Ray Price ("For The Good Times") and Sammi Smith ("Help Me Make It Through The Night)." Also appearing are three other hits with a rural flavor: "Mr. Bojangles" by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, "One Toke Over The Line" by Brewer & Shipley and "Woodstock" by Matthews' Southern Comfort.

Adding to the eclectic mix are long-forgotten "Yellow River" by Christie and Mark Lindsay's second solo single, "Silver Bird." There's something for every pop fan here. Anyone who remembers the Glass Bottle's radio hit "I Ain't Got Time Anymore" will appreciate that fact.

If my ears could breathe, this compilation would be a breath of fresh air.

This review is from: Have a Nice Day 4 (Audio CD)

Volume 4 of the "Have a Nice Day" series won't raise many musical eyebrows, but it does have a bit of a split personality.

Much of the disc is MOR pop, like Mark Lindsay's "Silver Bird", Christie's "Yellow River" and Ocean's slightly folk-flavored "Put Your Hand in the Hand."

Three of the cuts aren't country-flavored, they're flat-out country. Lynn Anderson's "Rose Garden", Ray Price's "For the Good Times" and Sammi Smith's "Help Me Make It Through the Night" were all successful on the pop charts, but they're died in the wool, cry in your beer country. Another track, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Mr Bojangles" was also a major cross-over hit.

Brewer and Shipley's classic "One Toke Over the Line" and Wadsworth Mansion's "Sweet Mary" add a pleasantly humorous touch and do a nice job of rounding out a slightly disjointed collection.

Volume 4 isn't one of the best in the series, but it's a lot better than some. This one's well worth the effort.

3.0 out of 5 stars Forgotten Oldies, July 15, 2005

This review is from: Have a Nice Day 4 (Audio CD)

I purchased Vol.4 of the Have A Nice Day series because it contained "Stay Awhile" by the Bells. Although it was a Top Ten song in 1971,I never hear it on the radio anymore. I work for Mix 106 in Charlotte, NC and we do play some of the cuts on this cd including: "Rose Garden", "Mr. Bojangles", "Help Me Make It Through The Night" and "For The Good Times". Those are all good additions to my music collection.

The 1970's seemed to have a large number of "One-Hit Wonders". Although these songs were popular at the time, many don't receive airplay in the 21st century. Thank you Rhino for giving us an oppotunity to obtain some of the Forgotten Oldies of the 70's on cd.
