| | Less Than Jake In With The Out Crowd CD (2006)
Duets songs
$11.55
After having been known as a punk-ska outfit for most of the 1990s, by the advent of 2006's IN WITH THE OUT CROWD Less Than Jake had long been chafing at the genre's restrictions. This cohesive set uses the band's ska roots as the jumping-off point for a series of forays into contemporary pop, notably on the polished "In-Dependence Day" and the big-country rock of "The Rest of My Life." Lyrically, a sense of disillusionment with the outside world hangs over the album, most apparently on songs like "Soundtrack of My Life" and "Overrated"; but on the perfectly formed, breakneck "Mostly Memories," post-teen angst and the band's punky musical energy combine in a perfect storm of dynamic pop.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  OK doable
Love Petula hate some of the tracks. Who picks this, and why it it still happening. I can't wait until I finally her perform before she retires. Ok off to review the new box set Vikki Carr Ultimate Collection, that will have five stars the best tunes were picked as Vikki worked with EMI. Let's get Petula to do that for us! She is such a talent Hurry Sept 2007 for Pet's Seattle concert.

NICE SELECTION BUT MISSING SOME KEY TRACKS
I realize that putting together a Duets package on someone is difficult, especially where there is not much of studio recorded duets available. Varese's new PETULA CLARK DUETS features some studio and some TV soundtrack duets with some of the greats. However, clocking in at 54:15, two definite ommissions could have been included with time still left to spare.
One track features is the track LEAD ME ON, a single for Petula on Polydor in the UK in the 70s featuring French star, Sacha Distel. I'm extremely happy that this track has finally made CD, but what about the even better B-side called TAKIN' IT ON? Personal opinion would have flipped tracks and used TAKIN' as the A-side upon original release. A second Rod McKuen studio track called LAH-DEE-DAH could have rounded out the set, even if it offered Mr. McKuen two tracks over the other partners. It is a cute song, and hopefully will be included on a forthcoming album of McKuen songs Petula is doing, where this track could be a Bonus feature.
Petula gives her own take on each track with comments noted in the booklet, which is a nice touch. I'm not sure of who was responsible for final selection. However, other Petula projects, among other artists produced by Pierson have also lacked, so why should this one be any different.
The saving grace of this collection is a newly created duet between Petula and the late great Dusty Springfield mixed last year, with Dusty's portion coming from 1974. "Corner Of The Sky" from PIPPIN takes on a new light, and I'm glad this was able to happen.
