 (3 Customer Reviews)
Although most casual listeners will likely be familiar only with Baby Come Back: The Best of Player's title cut, fans of that soft rock chart-topper will likely find much more to their liking here as well; assembling tracks from the group's four LPs from the late 1970s and early 1980s, as well as material from their mid-'90s reunion effort, many of the 15 cuts are making their CD debut. ~ Jason Ankeny

$6.29
For various legal reasons, no Ambrosia recordings were released on compact disc in America until 1997's Anthology, and while it's an imperfect collection, it does offer a reasonably thorough overview of the group's career. It only briefly touches on their early art rock records, choosing to concentrate instead on their early-'80s soft rock hits like "Biggest Part of Me," "You're the Only Woman," and "How Much ...

| | Tonio K Yugoslavia CD (1999)
Baby Come Back: The Best Of Player CD music
$13.79
Let's clear up a possible confusion right up front. From its cover, you might think Tonio K.'s Yugoslavia was a collection of traditional ethnic music. After all, the photograph ("courtesy of the Yugoslav tourist office, circa 1958," the singer notes) depicts two Eastern European men in traditional garb, including colorful blouses and skirts, brandishing sabers at each other (or perhaps doing a saber dance), while the copy reads, "Tonio K. and N.Y.M. Co. Present: Yugoslavia -- Love Songs & War Dances from Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, Dalmatia, Bosnia, Slovenia (of the heart)." This is all a joke. Yugoslavia is an album of Tonio K.'s typically acerbic pop/rock songs with no relation to the fragmented, war-torn European country. Though it is not billed as a compilation, the album seems to be a gathering of stray tracks dating back several years, probably assembled after Gadfly issued Tonio K.'s long-deferred Olé album in 1997 and was interested in a follow-up. The songwriter hasn't really been active as a recording artist since issuing four albums and an EP between 1978 and 1988, but he has been working as a songwriter, and he notes that several of these songs were written for submission to established stars -- "I Know a Place" and "Murder My Heart" for Tina Turner (whom he helpfully identifies as "former wife of R&B great Ike Turner") and "Sure as Gravity" for Emmylou Harris -- not that these people ever recorded them or, apparently, even heard them. Others were part of other people's recording projects that didn't come to fruition, such as three tunes written with and for, and recorded by, Charlie Sexton, but given Tonio K. vocals so they could be used here. But no matter what the origins or intentions of the tracks, they bear the singer's trademark. His basic philosophy is expressed in one of the song titles, "Life's Just Hard," and that's a theme he reiterates throughout, from leadoff track "16 Tons of Monkeys" ("And it's a hard lesson") to "I Know a Place" ("Ain't nothing fair in life"). Love is hailed as the only salvation from life's difficulties, and by the trio of songs that end the album -- "Sure as Gravity," "Home to You," and "I've Got a Song Anyway" -- it seems to have won out. But life's hardness gets the lion's share of the ...
