Music reviews of Best of the Ohio Express
Music Review: very good but yet not quite complete
Rating: 4 Stars
People can say whatever they want about bubblegum music; but it provided many, many people with good tunes and a real alternative to hard rock back in the day. These tunes got their fair share of airplay and lots of people bought their records, too. The Best of the Ohio Express: Yummy Yummy Yummy features Ohio Express in a most positive light; and that's terrific. The quality of the sound on this album is excellent; and I really like that artwork, too.
The CD starts off with Ohio Express singing "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy." While this tune has the silliest of titles, the sound is actually very cool and these guys harmonize to play this one up right! "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy" has a rockin' flavor to it and they rightfully got good airplay from this number. The guitar work is very good, too. "Nothing Sweeter Than My Baby" has that signature Ohio Express sound; these guys never let go of a superfluous note and the music that accompanies the vocals couldn't be better!
"Sweeter Than Sugar" gets the royal treatment from Ohio Express; this has some great music and Ohio Express bats this straight out of the ballpark! They harmonize the chorus very well and again they use the guitars to great advantage on "Sweeter Than Sugar." "Nighttime" has a fine arrangement that is easy on the ear; and listen for Ohio Express to outdo even themselves on "Chewy, Chewy." "Chewy, Chewy" features Ohio Express squarely front and center--and they deserved this spotlight. The music complements the vocals without ever drowning the singers out; and Ohio Express was very well coordinated to come up with this tune.
"She's Not Comin' Home" has a pretty melody even with its minor keys; and I really like "Gimme Gimme." "Gimme Gimme" has a great `60s beat to it and Ohio Express does this with all the skill of the experienced musicians they truly were. "1, 2, 3, Red Light" is also very well done; and there's a true gem in "Down at Lulu's." "Down at Lulu's" has a very `60s sound to it that is just a touch like the Beach Boys sound with those backup vocalists; and it all holds its own very well.
"Sausalito (Is the Place to Go)" showcases yet again the fine talents of Ohio Express; this tune has a rockin' flavor to it that still gets me tapping my feet to the beat today! "Sausalito (Is the Place to Go)" is a good number and a highlight of this album. "Pinch Me (Baby, Convince Me)" makes good use of the drums and percussion; and the album ends strong with Ohio Express performing "Mercy." "Mercy" is a well done tune and that melody leaves you wanting more--it's infectiously catchy and that's awesome.
Ohio Express really turned out some great numbers in their time. This album doesn't have every one of their "best" and so I can only give this CD a four star review. However, don't let that deter you from trying this one out; it does indeed have some terrific bubblegum songs from one of the most successful `60s groups, Ohio Express. It makes a strong starter CD for people just discovering Ohio Express, too.
