In 1999, Collectables released Buddy Knox/Buddy Knox & Jimmy Bowen, which contained two complete albums -- Buddy Knox (1957, originally released on Roulette) and Buddy Knox & Jimmy Bowen (1958, originally released on Roulette) -- by Buddy Knox on one compact disc. ~ Jason Birchmeier
During the early rock & roll era, teen idols and groups often toured in packages, taking the stage for a quick set of four or five songs, then clearing out of the way for the next act to do its four or five songs, and in some ways that's what this "meets" series from Collectables feels like, which combines two vocal artists -- five songs apiece. This one combines rockabilly crooners Buddy Knox with Jimmy Bowen to the benefit of neither, and the whole disc is over in 20 minutes. You're going to hear a song or two you like, though, and the series is budget-priced, so it's a tradeoff. Call it the briefest of introductions to each artist -- just like those old package concert tours. ~ Steve Leggett

Recorded between 1962 & 1967. Includes liner notes by Steve Kolanjian.
Skeeter Davis has had two phases of her career: the first as part of the duo, the Davis Sisters, with Betty Jack Davis (they weren't really sisters, by the way) in the pre-rock & roll era, and the second as a solo Nashville country crossover artist in the 1960s. The Davis Sisters recorded one bona fide classic, "I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know," which was a huge hit in 1953, and Skeeter mirrored it with a classic of her own in 1963, the weepy and resigned "The End of the World," which features a perfectly measured vocal from Davis, which manages to overcome the pathos inherent in the lyrics. This collection of solo sides reveals the formula Davis followed pretty clearly, merging plaintive country material with injections of big pop hooks, all sweetened with Nashville strings.

| | Lynn Anderson Live From The Rose Garden CD (2005) Bonus DVD
Buddy Knox Meets Jimmy Bowen
$12.35
There's no recording date information and the general packaging is minimalist, to say the least; but this double-disc set -- one live CD and one DVD containing the video equivalent of the same show -- delivers where it counts, in the music. The sound is such that there's very little audience ambience, but there's plenty of presence for the band and even more so for Lynn Anderson, who is in excellent form throughout. The CD is great, but the DVD is even better, not only with an excellent visual account of the concert from the Renaissance Center in Dixon, TN, but also a nice selection of bonus features -- before and after interviews and other support materials. The camera angles vary sufficiently so that one never feels confined or static watching the show, and the full-screen (1.33-to-1) image is crisp enough to pass for HDTV. The audio is mastered a little low on the DVD but it pumps up well and cleanly, and in other details -- the menu's simplicity, the chapter breaks (one per song, natch) -- the producers get everything right. Equally important, and amazingly, Anderson still gives a great show 40-plus years into her career; ...
