RADIO DAZE/POP HITS OF THE 80'S, VOL. 4-VARIOUS ARTISTS: Not EVERYTHING that came over the airwaves in the decade of excess had a new wave beat to it, thank heavens. RADIO DAZE VOL. 4 features the usual blend of country and pop ear candy, including obscure acts like Rick Pinette and Oak, and Wet Willie frontman Jimmy Hall, as well as the better known Carly Simon and Harry Chapin, whose TAXI followup, SEQUEL registers here. For cheese value, they even throw Waylon's DUKES OF HAZZARD theme and an honest to goodness Susan Anton (!) number. If you prefer your music mellow and uncluttered by a variety of artists, RADIO DAZE is a good place to turn to.

RATING: THREE SOFT ROCKS

As with the first three volumes, too many unfamiliar songs clutter the collection, and too much AC without any variation into other early 80s genres is simply too much after the fourth CD. All original versions.

de la serie completa, este es sin duda el album mas debil. solo para quienes conocen temas especificos de la epoca como el de don williams por ejemplo o para los que quieren tener la serie integra de estos 5 volumenes. una lastima que no aparecieron mas. si te interesa esta epoca, consigue los volumenes de la serie "lost 45" del sello varese-sabarande; hay cositas bien interesantes alli, sobretodo en el vol. 1
