CD Reviews

Maybe we can't go home again after all.

"If you remember and treasure the music of Glenn from the 60's, keep those memories intact and skip this album. If this were a collection of Glenn's greatest hits, it would be a wonderful find, but it isn't and it isn't. The songs are poorly, almost amateurishly arranged and the background instrumentals uninspired. There are a few cuts where Glenn's wonderful voice and styling overcomes the other limitations, but generally even he can't save this poor presentation. I was delighted tonight to find that The Lonely Things is available on CD. I plan to order that to replace my worn-out vinyl album. I recommend that others do the same."
Great new versions of standards

"By no means a "greatest hits" collection; rather, Glenn has, like so many others, done an album containing new versions of other people's songs. And WHAT an album! It's rare when I find myself knowing nearly every song before-the-fact. I recently had the occasion to play EVERY Limeliters and Yarbrough LP or CD in my collection, and to my surprise, THIS wound up being one of my favorite of his "solo" albums. Pretty impressive! There's only one cheat here: "Baby The Rain Must Fall" is the original recording! (But then, how could he have out-done HIMSELF?) I should admit that Glenn's solo music is NOT really among my favorite stuff; but I think THIS album will be getting a lot of play. Especially "Somewhere My Love" (my pick for best track of the album!)."
The old is good, the new is weak.

"Some of the old strength and resonance comes through on the favorites, but the majority of the songs seem strained and weak. Not all of these songs are right for Mr. Yarborough."
