The Tokens' unlikely blend of doo wop and what was, in folk circles, termed "ethnic music," resulted in one enormous and enduring hit: "The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh)." After that, it was all downhill for the group during their RCA tenure -- the biggest of their followup hits reached a modest number 55 on the charts. Wimoweh: The Best of the Tokens rounds up all six of their chart entries, some of which -- like "B'Wanina (Pretty Girl)" and "La Bamba" -- repeated the "Wimoweh" formula. When those failed, the Tokens returned to straightforward doo wop material ("Tonight I Met an Angel"), covers of other vocal groups' hits ("Sincerely," "A Thousand Miles Away"), and, finally, Beach Boys-style car songs ("My Friend's Car"). The anthology also compiles a number of choice cuts and oddities that fall in-between, from the gorgeous "Somewhere There's a Girl" to the weirdly insulting love song "You're Nothing But a Girl." There's a "Little Darlin'" retread titled "Dry Your Eyes" and several songs with "night" or "tonight" in the title in apparent reference to the group's first two hits. Wimoweh: The Best of the Tokens also includes three previously unreleased songs for collectors. For those who couldn't get enough of the Tokens, several additional recordings from their RCA period were made available the same year on a budget collection, The Lion Sleeps Tonight. ~ Greg Adams

Wimoweh! The Best Of The Tokens
$11.18  
Last time around, Shakira touched upon so many styles she couldn't be contained on one album, splitting Oral Fixation in two. This time, she focuses on one sound only: a pulsating electro-disco that crosses all boundaries and welcomes all nationalities. Such concentration behooves Shakira, freeing her to release her inner She Wolf, a wild wacko who's as coo coo as she is carnal. And for as sexy as Shakira is -- crucially, her music is sexy too -- what really gives She Wolf its ...

This collection of songs is an example of Willmott’s growing maturity not only as a songwriter, but as a singer and pianist as well. Filled with lush string and horn arrangements, solid drum grooves, catchy guitar lines, smooth vocals, and hooky piano riffs, the arrangements are a bit more experimental, but still the same simple straight-forward pop-rock music that everyone was talking about when they heard Ben Willmott’s last successful effort. Featuring fourteen brand new, original, compositions including the poetic "Alabama," the sentimental "Emily," and the crowd favorite "Ithaca," Rich With Love is sure to take him to the next level. Encompassing elements of Billy Joel, Ben Folds, James Taylor and Bach, Willmott mixes the pop, rock, folk and classical music styles that he grew up listening to and studying.
