CD Reviews

Billie Jo Spears Capitol albums
Beth | Mesa, AZ United States | 02/20/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Before Billie Jo Spears became a countrypolitan singer in the 70's, she was a traditional country singer. Her Capitol material was similar to Jeannie C. Riley's Plantation work. This starts off with her great sexual harrassment hit Mr. Walker it's all Over. Three of the songs on the "Mr. Walker's it's all Over" album were written by Jack Rhodes, who wrote Too Old for Toys, Too Young for Boys, her first song at 13. Musically speaking it would have made more sense to combine her debut "The Voice of Billie Jo Spears", which I also recommend, since they're more similar in tone. But "Just Singin'" is more rare to find. There are covers on both of these, though "Just Singin" is devoted to them completely. But that's okay since I like covers. Besides her versions of Goin' Steady (Faron Young) and The Price I Pay to Stay (Jeannie C. Riley) are fantastic. Billie Jo Spears is more popular in the UK so it's not surprising that a British label Hux released this. I hope they release more of her early material. 3.5 rounded to 4."
