The Four Seasons' 1963 third album is typical of its (pre-Beatle) time, in that it's arranged to center around a hit or two, including one from a previous album. The brash, strengh-in-adversity anthem "Walk Like a Man" and the recycled "Big Girls Don't Cry" are innovative reworkings of the East Coast harmony-vocal style as well as clear signposts toward the pure-pop ear candy the Seasons and genius producer/songwriter Bob Crewe would pursue down the road. The rest is a mixture of originals by Crewe, '50s doo-wop tunes the group had cut their teeth on (Frankie Lymon's "Why Do Fools Fall in Love?"), and pre-rock standards like "Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo." The group's singing, of course, is glorious throughout.

This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Nick Drake's songs have attracted a large number of admirers for their beauty and melancholy, but few can have approached those compositions with the stylistic imagination found on Songlines Recordings' Poor Boy: Songs of Nick Drake. Songlines owner Tony Reif organized a tribute concert to Drake in Vancouver, Canada, in 1999 featuring many of the artists heard here, and he added to them with many musicians based in Seattle. While the result is many different interpretations of Drake's work, the lengthy CD breaks down for the most part into two halves. In the first seven songs, the artists basically take Drake's simple folk melodies and sad lyrics as the basis for jazz performances, much as if they were the work of Rodgers & Hart. Kate Hammett-Vaughan begins "Clothes of Sand," the second track, a cappella before being joined by Chris Gestrin's piano, Ron Samworth's guitar, and Simon Fisk's bass in an arrangement that recalls Billie Holiday singing "Strange Fruit." Then Gestrin and Fisk return for "One of These Things First," which they treat as a jazzy piano instrumental in the style of Art Tatum or Oscar Peterson. In "Three Hours," Jason Michas gives the lyrics a forthright, declarative reading that suggests Nina Simone or Sarah Vaughan. The François Houle 6, led by Houle, a clarinetist, spends 14 minutes working its way through an original atonal instrumental called "For Nick" and into a medley of Drake's "Horn" and "Know." And Hammett-Vaughan returns for a bluesy version of "Poor Boy" that would fit into any good set in a jazz club. By this halfway mark in the album, the listener may be forgetting the elegant, becalmed folk arrangements found on Drake's own albums, but Mike Dumovich returns to familiar ground on "Fly," and most of the rest of the album is given over to versions of Drake songs ...
