Music reviews of Golden Classics: Paper Roses
Music Review: Anita...not much gold in her career or personal life!
Rating: 2 Stars
Using "Golden Classics" as a selling point for this CD is REALLY stretching things....A LOT! OK, so two or three of the 14 cuts on this release may have made it on Your Hit Parade, it's pretty safe to say the remaining cuts never even got a cardboard sales award! It is rumored that The Beatles were inspired by Anita's hit recording of the "Music Man" gem, "Till There Was You" to cut their own version of the song. "Paper Roses" is probably the single record Bryant is best remembered for...but even this record has been overshadowed by Marie Osmond's hit cover some years later, which pretty much made Anita's recording stale and forgotten. After a string of modestly selling albums for Columbia, the label dumped her long before her well known hate crusade against gays, indicating her career was in trouble years before she claimed political adversaries had derailed it. Her last album for Columbia was a pathetic dud of a love theme album that really showcased Anita's failing vocal abilities along with cornpone arrangements that would put a monkey infused with gallons of Starbucks to sleep. At that time, and sadly, the singer's voice was becoming dark, leathery and unappealing with a drastic loss of range long before its time. But on she forged with the sacred label Word out of Wacco, Texas. It seemed like a solid home for the often sacred singer, but Anita's output with the label lacked inspiration and all their efforts paled in comparison to her sacred releases with Columbia (especially the pop-inspriational Columbia album, "I Beleive"). Certainly the most embarassing release of her entire career was a lack-luster, unspired live religious album with Word which was released not long before they showed her the door (most likely due to massive compliants from record buyers offended by Bryant's hate crusades, along with dismal record sales and that failing voice). On this live recording, the singer offered unending testimonies about how she was grand enough to lead her flocks to The Lord if they bought her records and books...it was obvious that Anita now believed The Lord was an employee of Anita Bryant ministries...the time left on the LP consisted of poorly performed & darkly arranged sacred tunes. Along her career path, Bryant managed to write a long series of books for religious publishers mostly offering Anita's guidence on how to have a perfect family like her's. However, even her most ardent supporters jumped off The Good Gospel Ship Anita Bryant, after she dumped her first husband, the father of her children and the co-subject of her happy family sagas. One of the last straws for her public was an outlandish, interview Anita Bryant actually granted with Playboy magazine...where she discussed everything from her political crusades to her orgasims. To top it all, reports have surfaced that one of Anita's sons has been outted as being gay. With a career that nose-dived into financial ruin and a failing voice, bankruptcies were not far away via theaters Bryant and her latest husband established in places like Branson, Missouri and Pidgeon Forge, Tennesse, that went bottoms-up, while Anita prayed with casts & employees, guarenteeing the Lord's blessing on everyone that stuck with her...she would secretly 'get out of Dodge', leaving a few ticket holders in the lurch, and bilking employess and fellow performers out of back pay, including one of her loyal fan club members. Many believe it was actually her failing career, including being dumped by Columbia Records, that prompted MS Bryant to try to jump start her failing career with her ugly policical crusade, rather than any kind of religious conviction. Finding work almost non-existance in this new century, and finding she wasn't welcome in several states due to bankruptcies, MS Bryant is reviving "Anita Bryant Ministeries" online in a desperate and sadly pathetic attempt at financial survival...I can't help but wonder if she's seeking a new Playboy interview to bring things full circle! Unlike everyother artist that was popualr when Bryant enjoyed her biggest success, there has been no interest or demand in issuing her recorded material on CD's...with this one exception.
