What a Wonderful Surprise!

"I was so very happily surprised to hear how good this CD was. Hearing BJ Thomas in his early years sound so good, and energized and alive was so refreshing. The songs are very unique- most were written by Marck Charron, a memebr of BJ's first band, the Triumphs. A lot of treasures here, folks- especially "I Wonder". Seems like BJ specialized in Teen Angst back in his early years. Several of the 25 songs are very dark- some of the characters in his songs wind up dead. But what a time capsule! BJ sounds as if he's trying to copy the style of Roy Orbison or Jay Black of "Jay & The Americans"! I've found this CD set at twice the proce in stores! From start to finish, this set is a winner!"
