Music reviews of Billboard Top Rock & Roll Hits: 1968
Music Review: and the nostalgia continues...
Rating: 4 Stars
Billboard Top Rock & Roll Hits: 1968 is yet another low priced CD that gives us great rock and roll hits from 1968. The sound quality is great and the artwork is as good as all the others in this CD series.
Archie Bell & The Drells start off the track list with their hit entitled "Tighten Up." This peppy number benefits from great horns, singing and percussion. Archie Bell & The Drells perform "Tighten Up" to perfection and they handle the tempo changes like the pros that they always were!
Listen also for "Judy In Disguise (With Glasses)." This psychedelic rock tune has some great music and John Fred & His Playboy Band do this one up right! John Fred sings this to perfection and it's a great tune for listening--or even dancing! The peppy melody is upbeat and playful. Otis Redding has what is probably the biggest hit of the album with his "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay." "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay" is a classic that still gets plenty of airplay today on the oldies radio stations; Otis never misses a beat and he sings this song with all his heart and soul. I love it!
Aretha Franklin does her "Chain Of Fools" with soul--and all of HER soul, too. Aretha sings this beautifully and it always impresses me greatly whenever I hear it.
Tommy James & The Shondells perform a spirited "Mony Mony" with an awesome amount of energy and the backup vocalists rock really well! "Mony Mony" uses great percussion, drums and guitars to make a terrific musical arrangement. Ohio Express does "Yummy Yummy Yummy," which is strictly speaking a rockin' tune but it comes off feeling like a bubblegum tune after the REAL rock on this album.
Overall, this CD has ten hits from 1968 that are sure to bring back good memories from back in the day. Yeah, sure, "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy" isn't the strongest rock tune on the disc--but the rest is very good quality control. I recommend this CD for fans of this genre of music.
