Music reviews of 16 Biggest Hits-Mickey Gilley
Music Review: Shares his cousin's talent
Rating: 5 Stars
Mickey, a cousin of Jerry Lee Lewis, was a formidable performer in his own with a long string of country hits to his credit in the seventies and eighties including seventeen number ones, most of them included here. Mickey was also the owner of the nightclub used as the setting for Urban cowboy, a movie that became a major influence on country music. Mickey's pop country style is typical of the brilliant soundtrack, which I reviewed long ago.
Many of Mickey's big hits were covers of old pop songs (Stand by me, True love ways) and country songs (I overlooked an orchid, Window up above, City lights) from the fifties and sixties. He had a few good original songs too, most notably Don't all the girls get prettier at closing time, A headache tomorrow or a heartache tonight and She's pulling me back again.
No single CD compilation can include all hits but this contains most of those that really matter including Paradise tonight, a chart-topping duet with Charly McClain that was added to this set as a bonus track when it was re-mastered.
As an alternative to this, you may consider the 20-track compilation, Ten years of hits, which contains 15 of the 17 tracks included here. It omits Fool for your love and Paradise tonight but includes five tracks not on this set - Tears of the lonely, You've really got a hold on me, Lawdy Miss Clawdy, Chains of love and The power of positive drinking. You can find Paradise tonight on a compilation of Charly's music so unless you particularly want the re-mastered sound, you may decide to buy that compilation instead.
Perhaps somebody will one day release a double CD of Mickey's hits. Until then, this one or Ten years of hits provide an impressive, if incomplete, overview of his career.
