Music reviews of Man & His Hits

Music Review: good starting point
Rating: 4 Stars

The cd does a nice job showcasing his early years, including "Artibella," one of his first recordings with Stranger Cole in the duo Stranger and Ken, as well as "The Train Is Coming," a bonus in and of itself as the early Wailers are featured on the track. Other highlights certainly include "Moving Away," "You're No Good (Crying Over You)," a top 15 hit in 1975, and the great "Thinking," to name a few.

What I find disappointing, however, is that many of his 70's hits, among the very best he recorded, are missing, and that's a shame. The cd could use "Everything I Own," (later covered by Boy George, of all people) "Freedom Street," and "Why Baby Why" to improve it.

Overall, however, the cd is a nice look at this underrated singer, and a nice addition to anyone's collection.
