Music reviews of The Best of the Girl Groups, Vol. 2
Music Review: terrific music that leaves me wanting more
Rating: 5 Stars
The Best of the Girl Groups, Volume 2 has 18 awesome tracks that made so many people happy when they were originally released; and it's great to know they're still here for us to enjoy them even more on CD. There's a fairly good diversity of groups and artists on this CD; and that's a big plus. The quality of the sound is excellent; and I really like that artwork, too.
The CD starts auspiciously with The Angels singing their huge hit, "My Boyfriend's Back." They sing and harmonize flawlessly on this track; and they never falter, either! The percussion is used to great advantage and overall this is a strong number with which to open the album. The Chiffons do one of my personal favorites, "Sweet Talkin' Guy." "Sweet Talkin' Guy" has The Chiffons sounding better than ever; they sing this sweetly even though the melody belies the seriousness of the lyrics. Wow, how The Chiffons could sing! Again the percussion is perfect for the arrangement. Little Eva does "The Loco-Motion" to perfection--and beyond! "The Loco-Motion" is a fine tune that Little Eva does up right; and the music fits in perfectly with her vocals. I love those guitars and drums.
The Toys perform "A Lover's Concerto" without ever letting go of a single superfluous note; and that's grand. The Toys really hit a huge goal with this tune; they bat it straight out of the ballpark! The music is terrific; but wisely the music remains in the background--it never steals the show away from The Toys' vocals--great! The Cookies also do their "Chains" without ever skipping a beat; this has a great early rock and roll flavor to it and I love that handclapping percussion. Listen for The Murmaids to do "Popsicles And Icicles" with panache; this is a very pretty tune and it adds a lot to this album.
The Shirelles perform "I Met Him On A Sunday" really well. The Shirelles always did everything they sang incredibly well; and the arrangement for this is very strong. Robin Wood's "Wonderful Summer" is absolutely adorable; "Wonderful Summer" is quite pretty and sweet. Carole King hits the mark with her marvelous "It Might as Well Rain Until September;" this ballad features Carole effortlessly managing tempo and key changes like the pro she is and always will be! The Caravelles sing their hearts out on "You Don't Have To Be A Baby To Cry;" the handle this so professionally I wonder why they aren't remembered more than they are. What a tune!
"Easier Said Than Done" is quite energetic; and I also like "I Love How You Love Me" by the incredible Paris Sisters. The Paris Sisters were one of the best sister acts of the mid 1900s and just one listen proves it.
The Best Of The Girl Groups, Volume 2 has so much to offer that any fan of this genre of music simply must get this album. Newcomers to early rock and roll as well as the girl groups would do well to get this album, too.
