Music reviews of B.J. Thomas - Greatest Hits
Music Review: good selection of songs weighed down by poor sound on a few tracks
Rating: 3 Stars
B.J. Thomas has performed lots of great songs; and this CD has a good amount of his best music on it. Even though a track or two was left out (for example, "Don't Worry Baby") my only real complaint is that on a few tracks the sound is a bit tinny and I find that to be disappointing. However, the songs themselves are quality music and there's not a dud in the bunch when you factor out the poor transfer of three or four songs onto this eighteen track disc.
The album starts with the melancholy yet sweet "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" is a beautiful tune with which to start the album; but the sound of the music that accompanies B.J.'s vocals is tinny and it simply doesn't sound as clear as a digital recording should sound. Ouch! That's a shame. On the bright side, however, B.J. sings his heart out and the sound of his voice comes across clear and I love that part of this track. "Mama" has a beautiful arrangement and B.J. sings this really well; and listen for other sublime tracks including "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love With You;" a major hit entitled "Hooked On a Feeling;" "It's Only Love" with some excellent percussion and tempo changes that B.J. handles like a pro; his classic "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head;" "Everybody's Out of Town" with that creative musical arrangement; the gorgeous "I Just Can't Help Believing;" "Most of All;" "Mighty Clouds of Joy" and "(Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song."
The CD includes four bonus tracks: ""Bring Back the Time" which boasts a fine arrangement although on this track, too, the sound just doesn't sound smooth; "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love with You)" with some mighty fine backup to enhance this number; "Pass the Apple Eve" and "Long Ago Tomorrow."
This is certainly a fine selection of songs but with the sound problems here and there throughout the disc I can't eagerly recommend it for B.J. fans. Yes, it's good music; but with three or four tracks transferred so poorly to CD it becomes a mixed bag album that ranks a very average three stars (or maybe even two and one-half stars). That's quite a shame because B.J.'s talent is so special.
