Music reviews of The Best of Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs: 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection
Music Review: Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs in their natural element--these guys made music FUN !!!
Rating: 4 Stars
20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs features some of the best work this group did when they recorded together, although the first two songs are probably the best on this CD. True to form, 20th Century Masters cranked out yet another budget CD with too few tracks on it and thus I am deducting a star to make this a four star review. However, the quality of the sound on this CD is quite good and the artwork is well done even if it is somewhat standard for this CD series.
The album starts off with the tune that was probably their biggest hit entitled "Wooly Bully." This tune, was is actually about Sam's cat; works well on a number of levels and it's still great for dancing even all these years later. The beat is quite catchy and memorable at once; and they never let go of a superfluous note. Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs do this one up right! "Lil' Red Riding Hood" has that 1960s rock and roll flavor to it that always makes me smile; "Lil' Red Riding Hood" has Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs in their natural element and that's more than quite all right by me!
"Ju Ju Hand" rocks well and these guys bat this tune straight out of the ballpark! "Ju Ju Hand" uses the drums very well and it all holds its own very well. The music is strong but it leaves the vocalists squarely front and center--I love it! "Red Hot" has a fast tempo that cranks up the electricity and this number is also quite strong even though it wasn't exactly their biggest hit. I really like "Red Hot;" and listen also for "Ring Dang Doo." "Ring Dang Doo" just plain sounds good and I could never tire of hearing these artists doing "Ring Dang Doo."
"Big Blue Diamonds" is another strong number that keeps the focus on Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs; the music is very pretty and this slow dancin' rock tune is just right for slow dancing all alone at night with your sweetheart in your living room. "Pharaoh A-Go-Go" has a great sound to it; and there's another gem in "(I'm In With) The Out Crowd." "(I'm in With) The Out Crowd" has Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs acing this practically effortlessly as if it were only breathing; but of course we know it really wasn't so easy. Their talents always carried them through.
"How Do You Catch A Girl" has a great rock flavor to it; and "Oh That's Good, No That's Bad" ends this album strong. "Oh That's Good, No That's Bad" has a great arrangement for the piano and this leaves you wanting more from this group!
Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs made music that was really a lot better than most people give them credit for making; but with CDs like this one maybe people will start to notice them at least in hindsight. Although this CD is just too brief, I recommend it for fans of Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs; and it makes a great starter CD for people just discovering their talent, too.
