| | 20th Century Masters: The Best Of Pat Boone: The Millennium Collection CD Pat Boone Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Digitally remastered by Jim Phillips (Universal Mastering Studios West, North Hollywood, California).
The title of this collection seems to suggest that the new millennium is cause for a reexamination of Boone's musical contributions. And that may be the case, if only to remember that he rivaled the chart dominance of Elvis Presley during the early years of rock & roll, and that whereas Elvis popularized the stylings of unrecognized black artists, Boone "protected" suburban America from black R&B performers by offering tamer versions of their hits. As evidence, this collection offers his stilted, ultra-velvety takes on Fats Domino's "Ain't That a Shame," the Flamingos' "I'll Be Home," and Ivory Joe Hunter's "I Almost Lost My Mind," all of which provided hits for Pat. (Strangely absent, however, is his version of Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti.") To his credit, Boone was somehow able to extricate any sense of sexuality or danger from rock & roll -- no mean feat. Nevertheless, one can't dismiss the fact that Boone was a first-class pop crooner, and that when he wasn't committing offenses against rock & roll, he was rivaling the talents of Dean Martin and Eddie Fisher on such well-suited tracks as "Friendly Persuasion (Thee I Love)." ~ Erik Hage

Gene McDaniels' impressive vocals make songs like "Point of No Return," "Tower of Strength," "Chip Chip," and the title track, "A Hundred Pounds of Clay," into true classics. Surrounded by appropriately applied brass and strings and underpinned by solid rhythms, everything here feels like a long-lost treasure. This same set has been issued a couple of times over, but it's the songs that count, so it doesn't really matter which version you pick up. ~ Steve Leggett

20th Century Masters: The Best Of Pat Boone: The Millennium Collection
$13.49
The second installment of the Hard to Find 45's series is, like the first, a wide assortment of Top 40 hits, some of them indeed very hard to find on CD or even hear on the radio. Some of them are not really that hard to find on CD, though this disc (like every one in this series) takes pains to present original 45 RPM single versions, often in stereo. Whereas the first volume was devoted to material from 1955-1960, this goes into the next era (1961-1964), and though it's pretty pop-inclined, there's a good deal of diversity. There's doo wop verging on soul by the Stereos ("I Really Do Love You," the Flares' "Foot Stompin'," Clyde McPhatter's "Lover Please"), girl-sung teen idol pop (Little Peggy March's "I Will Follow Him," Marcie Blane's "Bobby's Girl"), the poppiest brand of girl group sounds (the Murmaids' "Popsicles and Icicles," Diane Renay's "Navy Blue," the Caravelles' "You Don't Have to Be a Baby to Cry"), the foreign ...
| | Randy Travis Rise And Shine CD (2002)
20th Century Masters: The Best Of Pat Boone: The Millennium Collection
$10.25
Lisa Silver, Cindy Walker, Vicki Hampton, Wes Hightower (background vocals).
RISE AND SHINE won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Southern, Country, Or Bluegrass Gospel Album. "Three Wooden Crosses" was nominated for Best Male Country Vocal Performance.
When Randy Travis first emerged on the country scene in the '80s he was hailed as a "new traditionalist" whose obvious reverence for the sound of classic country artists like George Jones was a breath of fresh air amid the diluted country-pop sounds that had become so prevalent. It's an interesting comment on the state of mainstream country that more than 15 years later, he performs pretty much the same function as an alternative to a whole new crop of hat-wearers. What's all the more remarkable is that this time ...
