Music reviews of Greatest Hits: Baby I Love You
Music Review: Incomplete but a wonderful collection
Rating: 4 Stars
Yeah, it's incomplete, but this is an EMI/Capitol compilation and generously includes almost all of his output for that label including some rare single-only releases such as "Baby You're All I Got" from 1976, a catchy shoulda-been hit. It also has the taste to leave OFF the awful "Longfellow Serenade" rip-off "The Essence of Joan". In order to get the earlier, non-Capitol hits that are here they had to pay big licensing fees, so they took the ones they thought were best, "Baby I Love You", "Shoot "Em Up Baby", and "Be My Baby", and presented them in sterling crystal clear sound, the best you'll find anywhere, and that particularly suits the gorgeously made "Baby I Love You". You won't find stunningly clear remastering like that on the questionable bootlegs. All the Capitol songs are very good and, appropriately, ear candy from the co-writer of "Sugar Sugar", without being bubblegum. I agree a complete compilation of the early Steed hits is long overdue, but this CD is thoroughly enjoyable for what it is. Highly recommended for the "Rock Me Gently"-era fans, and for those who prefer only the earlier hits, the sound quality of "Baby I Love You" alone is worth the price of this CD.
My only problem is the Neil Diamond thing. Not only does he imitate Neil Diamond's voice and slavishly try to duplicate his songwriting style on many songs, but even the cover PHOTO of the original "Rock Me Gently" LP had him posed and dressed and hair-styled exactly like Neil Diamond on the cover of "His 12 Greatest Hits". It's a little strange. A scan of the Internet reveals that many, many people who have "Rock Me Gently" on their computers have the artist listed as Neil Diamond! So I guess Andy achieved his goal of imitating his hero, but one or two songs would have been enough. Instead, he did it on at least a dozen songs over a period of three or so years. I like Andy Kim best when he's being Andy Kim. But who is Andy Kim? When "Rock Me Gently" hit he was asked in dozens of interviews why his voice was so much higher on his earlier hits, and he claimed the records were all speeded up. Huh? He did around five albums worth of material with his voice speeded up? Is that any way to begin a career?
Enigmatic, I think, and a little stange, but very talented. The music is wonderful. I highly recommend it to fans of melodic pop-rock.
