All Time Favorites From My All Time Favorite Tenor

"You always take a big chance with your audience when you decide to sing the hits of other artists instead of your own. Glenn Yarbrough has taken such a risk in his 'All Time Favorites' volume 1 CD. Possessing one of the most recognizable voices of the past fifty years, Glenn has recorded -12 tracks- for our listening enjoyment.



This CD is a rather mixed bag, some successes, some so-so. I was somewhat disappointed until -track 4- 'Sweetheart Tree.' Ahh... there's the Glenn Yarbrough I've been waitng for! He scores well again on -track 6- 'The Last Farewell' and also on the final four songs. Along with the already mentioned 'Sweetheart Tree' my other favorite on this CD is -track 12-, 'Scarlett Ribbons.'



Not a perfect album, but there's enough to make it more than worthwhile for the Yarbrough fan. Besides, no matter what he sings who could ever tire of that beautiful tenor voice?"

"Not so good. This album could have been done by any singer; it is not the sort of music that has the eclectic quality of most of GY's work. I only listened to it once and it is back in its case where it will most likely remain."
