Billy Joe, Finally!

grooverider | Toluca Lake LA | 01/13/2010

(4 out of 5 stars)

""Billy Joe Thomas", which was released orginally in 1972 with a gatefold cover had a copy of his birth certificate adorning the back cover! Each of the 12 songs featured the original songwriter as a performer on their respective cut. Look at the talent performing on this album: Stevie Wonder(harmonica on "Happier Than the Morning Sun"), Carole King (piano on the great, "A Fine Way to Go"), Jimmy Webb (piano on "A Song For My Brother"), John Sebastian (guitar on "The Stories We Can Tell"), Paul Williams (Background vocals on "That's What Friends Are For") songwriter Mark James (Background vocals on "I Get Enthused" and the album highlight for me, "Are We Losing Touch") and on and on... Also playing: Background vocalists extraordinare, The Blossoms (shout out to Darlene Love),guitar great Duane Eddy (on the single "Rock And Roll Lullaby" which also featured co-author Barry Mann).

But holding all this talent together, the immensely talented B. J. Thomas, who with his incredible vocals put his very personal stamp on every one of the 12 songs. Quite a feat, indeed!

Recorded in New York, Los Angeles and Nashville this still is a

uniquely cohesive piece of music, which speaks volumes about the gifted vocalist B. J. Thomas. This album always seemed so personal to him, I felt that his personality really was on display on each song. Thank you, Mr. Thomas"

Excellent releases

"It is downright wonderful to see these albums reissued on CD, and 2-on-1 at that. Good liner notes, which is a step up for Collector's Choice (they previously had poor packaging). The only reason I took 1 star away is the mastering. These recordings lack punch, low end and could have given a slight bit more clarity. Scepter vinyl was low grade, but I find the reel to reels of BJ's albums sound better than these CDs. Not a big deal, these are still an essential and welcome addition to all BJ Thomas fans!"
