Leavin' It All Behind album Product Description

Leavin' It All Behind album by Grass Roots was released May 15, 2007 on the Hip-o Select label. "I'd Wait a Million Years" went Top 15 for the Grass Roots in August of 1969, and as they tracked the rest of this album in September, they had the luxury of knowing it would contain at least one hit. The session men aren't listed as they were on other albums by this usually formula group, and the disc, Leavin' It All Behind, actually feels like a cohesive album by a real band, no doubt an important goal for these men -- achieving their own identity. Leavin' It All Behind music CDs Guitarist Creed Bratton had made his exit by this point, so the guitar chores were left up to rhythm guitarist and future Quiet Riot manager Warren Entner, with Dennis Provisor joining the crew on piano and organ, maintaining the four-piece unit, at least on the surface. Leavin' It All Behind songs Dennis Provisor is given the lead vocal chores on his two songs, "Take Him While You Can" and "Walking Through the Country," and though he's proficient, he lacks Rob Grill's style. "Take Him While You Can" is a fine production job by Barri, but the song goes nowhere; ditto for "Walking Through the Country." Drummer Rick Coonce also gets to pen and sing a title himself, a countrified rip-off of the Beatles' "I'll Cry Instead," and it's rather odd, almost like the Beatles having Ringo do a track, though Coonce doesn't have the personality or vocal charm to pull it off Leavin' It All Behind album. As stated, the Steve Barri production on this recording, especially on the two hits, is superb Leavin' It All Behind CD music. The Price/Walsh composition "Heaven Knows" was a delightful follow-up to "Wait a Million Years," a Top 25 hit to close out the year. Rob Grill, of course, does the majority of the vocals, including the other Harvey Price/Dan Walsh composition that leads off side one, "I'm Livin' for You Girl." Though it is admirable to see the band writing more, it was Steve Barri's pen which meant so much to this group. He only co-writes one song, "Melinda Love," with Grill and Entner, while future producers Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter contribute "Out of This World" for Entner and Grill to sing on. ...See Full Description

Great 60' Rock
Great job this band that's a icon of the years '60...this is your last album like group, with great guitar's riffs & beautiful vocals. This album has theirs last two hits, "Two divided by Love" & "The Runway", but the great moment is "Only One" a beutiful love song with great and emotionly arrangement and maybe the best Rob Grill interpretation Cannot fault in the good rock'n'roll collection Humberto Veras, Recife Brazil
