Music reviews of Anthology - by Dave & Sugar

Music Review: Great country trio but too many personnel changes
Rating: 5 Stars

They began as Charley Pride's backing group, but so good were they that they got their own recording contract. They continued to tour with Charley, including internationally. This gave them an international following that some more successful singers did not have, simply because they never toured outside America.

Their first album, from 1976, featured Dave with Vicki Hackemann (or Baker) and Jackie Frantz. Four tracks are included here, the most important being Queen of the silver dollar (a song that Emmylou Harris had already included on her Pieces of the sky album) and The door is always open (a song that had been a track on Dreaming my dreams, by Waylon Jennings). Although both these songs were covers, neither had been released as singles. Dave and Sugar's versions were and they topped the country chart with The door is always open. After this album, Jackie left.

In selecting Sue Powell to replace Jackie, they turned down a then-unknown singer called Sylvia Kirby Allen (now called Sylvia Hutton), who later achieved solo success as Sylvia with Drifter, Nobody and other country hits in the eighties. The line-up of Dave, Vicki and Sue lasted for two albums. I happen to think these are the best two original albums.

That's the way love should be is actually my favorite Dave and Sugar album, but only three tracks are included here - the title track, Don't throw it all away and I'm knee deep in loving you. Tear time, the next album, is represented by five tracks including a superb cover of Bonnie Tyler's It's a heartache. This is obviously a popular song within the country music fraternity as other country singers including Juice Newton and Lorrie Morgan have covered it. I love Bonnie, Juice and Lorrie, but this is my favorite version of the song. Another song from the Tear time album, Baby take your coat off, was a hit around that time for the Oak Ridge boys - but they used the title Come on in.

At this point, Vicki left, replaced by Melissa Dean (or Prewitt), and the long, slow decline began. Five tracks from the next album, Stay with me / Golden tears, are featured here including the two title tracks and Take a ride on a riverboat. Now it was Sue's turn to depart, to be replaced by Jamie Kaye.

The last album represented on this collection (by no less than six tracks) is New York wine and Tennessee shine. It was an enjoyable album but not as strong as its four predecessors. If I had been selecting tracks, I would have chosen just three from here and six from That's the way love should be - or maybe two and seven. But that's a minor criticism - I think it's a miracle that any Dave and Sugar music made it to CD.

More line-up changes followed, but so did label changes. There are lovely pictures of all the different ladies in the booklet, including those that did not contribute to the music on this collection.

Somebody once described Dave and Sugar as a country version of Abba. I regard that as a compliment, since Abba are my favorite pop group, but although I can see why, the comparison could be misleading. In any case, there has never been another country act like Dave and Sugar, so if you enjoy seventies country music, buy this if you can find it.
