| | Al Green Back To Back Hits CD Al Green Discography of CDs
The purpose of Back to Back Hits, a collection where Al Green hits are intercut with Teddy Pendergrass hits, is unclear. There may not be any point in matching these two lover-men on the same disc, but for a budget-line collection, it's a reasonably entertaining listen. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
The purpose of Back to Back Hits, a hits collection where Al Green's hits are intercut with Teddy Pendergrass' hits, is unclear. Certainly, this a solid selection of both singers' biggest hits, but there isn't really any point in juxtaposing the two on one ten-track disc, since fans of either would want to hear a full collection, not half of one. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Personnel: Al Green (vocals).

Back To Back Hits album
 $11.69    
All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology.
Ferry's first solo effort since the second breakup of Roxy Music is arguably his best, in part because it continues in the direction the band had been going. It's like AVALON, only more so.
Here, Ferry's lounge lizard affectations are writ large; the lyrical pose is all bruised romantic fatalism (say hello, "Slave to Love"), and the music fits it like a glove. The album's soundscapes are lush and echo-laden, and nearly every track has a discreet disco pulse; "Valentine," the one exception, is mid-tempo reggae. Overlaid with skittish percussion and guitars, BOYS AND GIRLS is the aural equivalent of a white dinner jacket and a half-empty bottle of champagne.

| | Laura Branigan Self Control CD (1984)
Back To Back Hits CD music
$6.09 
Laura Branigan's third album capitalized on the Euro-dance-pop and affecting ballads that made her an international star while allowing her to grow as a vocalist. Her collections, always uneven in terms of material, benefit mostly from her stellar voice, and this is no exception."The Lucky One" and "Heart" start slow and build to a crescendo, perfectly showcasing her range without being obvious. The title track, about finding sex in the seamy side of town, sparked a bit of a controversy, but ended up being her second biggest hit. The song itself works, but Branigan was never a sex bomb, so the fact that she pulls it off is indicative of her power as a performer. "Ti Amo" is the album's theatrical ballad, which works well with breathy, dramatic vocals. She even pulls off a graceful cover of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" that is clear and simple, while "Breaking Out" and "Take Me" are perfect examples of synthesizer-driven '80s dance ditties. The only slow moments come with "Silent Partners" and "With Every Beat of My Heart," and that's not because they're ballads. The production bogs them down, and the lyrics are so pedestrian, you won't find yourself moved by them except to skip to the next song. ~ Bryan Buss

| | Rick Springfield Living In Oz CD (1983)
Back To Back Hits album
$5.95
Though this was Rick Springfield's ninth album, it seemed like the third to most pop music fans, as it came on the heels of his breakthrough, Working Class Dog, and its successful follow-up, Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet. And though this contained as many hits as the aforementioned collections, it isn't remembered as quite the same in terms of accomplishment; this may be because it is so personal that it's just not as accessible. Living in Oz is Springfield's response to the dance-pop wave that was just starting to build and would be prominent until grunge announced its presence, as well as his response to the naysayers who wouldn't accept him as a serious musician. Where earlier hits, like "Jessie's Girl" and "Don't Talk to Strangers," were well-crafted pop tunes, on this release he shows an edge and a maturity he hadn't before. By embracing the synthesizers he also shows contempt for, he is able to illustrate how they're changing ...

It's no coincidence that director Vittorio De Sica has two songs included on Café Roma ("Tu, Solamente Tu" and "Un Vecchio Cuore"), because the music on the album conjures up scenes from his and other neorealistic films better than anything short of sitting down to watch Ladri di Biciclette itself. Not that the music here is unscripted and tragic; in fact, it's anything but. There are a few names that might be recognized by listeners unfamiliar with Italian music from the 1940s and '50s like Mario Lanza and Domenico Modugno (even Dean Martin has a piece included), but for the most part Café Roma is full of songs that are only hummed by white-haired Italians who still put on their best clothes on Sunday and stroll around town, the men's arms folded neatly behind their backs, the women with furs and pearls as they walk on roads built during the Roman Empire. That's what's makes it so fun, though -- these images of a life, of an experience that seems far removed from what we know. It's a tribute to years passed, when string arrangements and clean vocals with plenty of vibrato were in fashion and loved. Nilla Pizzi, a singer whose fame ...
