Music reviews of Good Morning Starshine: The Best of Oliver
Music Review: "Why You Been Gone So Long" I picked up the remastered CD!
Rating: 4 Stars
As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various music supplies and recordings from the 60's and 70's.
To fully appreciate the everlasting mark Oliver's "Good Morning Starshine" (Although he is not the composer) has left in the listeners ears the song is crafted with such precision that if the rest of the CD were blank this is a must own.
"Good Morning Starshine" rightly opens the Greatest Hits package. A timeless song that had wide scale appeal from the fan of Top 40 Radio to the listener of Album Rock, the 3:39 have no imperfections only brilliance.
Oliver has more in his arsenal than being a one hit wonder. "Jean" would have been a quality song for any performer with a certain vocal quality but Oliver's delivery of the lyrics brings it to the next level. The first two tunes show the wide range of his vocal strengths.
If the song "Come Softly To Me" sounds familiar it was a hit for the "Fleetwoods." Lesley Gore and Oliver have a brilliant duet found here.
"Early Mornin' Rain" originally penned by standout Gordon Lightfoot, is given a great treatment by Oliver. He captures the folk inflection needed to make the lyrics believable but enhances the rendition with strings in the background.
"Walkin' Down The Line" has Oliver cover Dylan. It isn't only that he attempted the superlative composition but delivers with an emphatic vocal.
Oliver's career wasn't only interpreting the work of others. He wrote songs as well and you can experience those on the Greatest Hits.
With remastered sound and a chance to enjoy "Good Morning Starshine" without clicks and pops why don't we all purchase this before the early morning rain falls.
Enjoy the music and be well,
Craig Fenton
Author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent"
