Music reviews of Anthology

Music Review: mighty talented artists indeed !!!
Rating: 5 Stars

Anthology by Tommy James And The Shondells has quite a few wonderful songs on it all of which prove these artists really had it all! Tommy James And The Shondells could do just about anything they wanted to do; and it's great to have CDs like this so we can look back at their great tunes and remember where we were when these songs took the airwaves by storm. The quality of the sound is excellent and the artwork is very nicely done.

The CD starts strong with "Hanky Panky;" I always liked this tune and it's remarkable that Tommy James was really rather young when he recorded this tune with his buddies. The guitar work is nothing short of awesome and the melody goes well with the lyrics. Tommy James And The Shondells certainly do this one up right; and it proves they were quite naturally gifted. "Say I Am (What I Am)" has a great rock flavor to it as these guys perform this faultlessly; and I really like "It's Only Love." Of course, "I Think We're Alone Now" was an early major hit for Tommy James And The Shondells; this tune really hit the airwaves big time and I still hear this sometimes on the local "oldies" radio station in my area. "I Like The Way" has excellent musical effects as Tommy James and his mates deliver this like the champs they were and still remain; "I Like The Way" is a very good song.

"Gettin' Together" is certainly very easy on the ear; I love this tune and I could never tire of hearing these guys bat this straight out of the ballpark! Once again, they use the guitars to great advantage in the musical arrangement. "Real Girl" is a fine number that features some mighty good harmonizing; and there's a gem in "Love's Closin' In On Me." "Love's Closin' In On Me" has a great beat and it's still good for dancing even in our times. "(I'm) Taken" sports a relatively lush arrangement as Tommy James And The Shondells do this without letting go of a superfluous note; and there's also the fantastic "Mony Mony." "Mony Mony" was a huge hit for them and it is easily a major highlight of this album.

In addition, "Crimson And Clover" just couldn't have been done any better; "Crimson And Clover" is a masterpiece and just one listen proves it. I always like to hear these men perform "Crimson And Clover." "Sugar On Sunday" has excellent keyboard work; and we get a true gem when Tommy James And The Shondells do "Crystal Blue Persuasion." "Crystal Blue Persuasion" is wonderful 60's light rock and this group never misses a note. Great! "Sweet Cherry Wine" is also a shining number on this album; and listen for "Ball Of Fire;" "Ball Of Fire" features these artists squarely front and center--and that's quite all right by me!

"She" has a great arrangement; and "Gotta Get Back To You" is another tune that uses the guitars very well. The CD ends very well with Tommy James And The Shondells performing "Draggin' The Line." "Draggin' The Line" is a timeless hit and it showcases their talents brilliantly.

Tommy James And The Shondells really were so gifted and it's a shame they don't get more recognition than they do these days; but maybe that will change with CDs like this one. This is a wonderful introduction to the artistry of Tommy James And The Shondells; diehard fans with these songs already in their collections would do well to look for more comprehensive albums or box sets by these artists.
