Various Artists – Jon Savage’s 1965 The Year The Sixties Ignited (2018) [2CD]

Various Artists - Jon Savage's 1965 The Year The Sixties Ignited (2018) [2CD]

The second “book-end” to Jon Savage’s hugely popular 1966 Faber book and Ace compilation and to last year’s “1967” CD follow-up, this prequel double CD based around 1965 represents the lead up and context to all that was about to happen. A genre-spanning mix of hit singles, slow burners and lost gems from soul, funk, psych, garage and rock’n’roll, these are the 45s that defined the year, captured the mood and crystallised Jon Savage’s personal memories of the year.

James Taylor bounced back from the spotty Flag with this all-original album led by his collaboration with J.D. Souther on “Her Town Too,” his biggest pop hit since “Handy Man,” and his biggest non-cover hit since his first, “Fire and Rain,” in 1970. Also included were “Hard Times” and “Summer’s Here,” not to mention the unusually impassioned “Stand and Fight.” After simmering this long, there wasn’t much hope Taylor would ever come to a boil, but that track indicated he could at least heat up now and then.

James Taylor’s best-selling record since 1970’s hallmark Sweet Baby James, 1977’s JT takes its permanent place as one of the singer’s most enduring albums, an affair that gorges on country, blues, and rock styles and incisive songwriting. As the preeminent singer-songwriter’s Columbia debut, it catapulted him back into the limelight and reestablished his place as the era’s leading-edge folk-rock troubadour.

“That’s the Way I’ve Always Heard It Should Be,” the leadoff track of Carly Simon’s first album and a Top Ten hit, in which the singer expresses reservations about getting married, benefited from a sense of role reversal — it’s such a guy sentiment, but sung by a woman in 1971, it came across as a feminist statement, consistent with the overall disillusionment so prevalent then.

Gary Puckett & The Union Gap – Looking Glass: A Collection (1992)

Gary Puckett & The Union Gap - Looking Glass: A Collection (1992)

Gary Puckett & the Union Gap were originally an actual band, but by the time the musicians entered the recording studio with producer and songwriter Jerry Fuller, the focus fell on Puckett’s strong, smooth baritone voice, and the Union Gap part of the equation was buried under a MOR barrage of strings, horns, and choirs. The formula worked, however, and the group enjoyed five Top 40 hits between 1967 and 1969, including “Woman, Woman,” “Lady Willpower,” the dangerously pedophilic “Young Girl,” and the majestic, soaring “Over You,” all of which are featured in this collection.

Robbie Williams – Discography (1997-2019)

Robbie Williams - Discography (1997-2019)

From teen idol to international headliner, English singer/songwriter and consummate showman Robbie Williams graduated from late-’90s boy band Take That to become a successful solo artist, embracing a mischievous bad-boy image while becoming one of the U.K.’s most prominent entertainers and one of the best-selling artists of all time. Following his stint with Take That — during which time Williams and his bandmates issued three multi-platinum hit albums — his star grew even brighter, with a string of chart-topping albums and sales that surpassed Take That by a wide margin.

Whitney Houston – Discography (1985-2009)

Whitney Houston - Discography (1985-2009)

Whitney Houston was inarguably one of the biggest pop stars of all time. Her accomplishments as a hitmaker were extraordinary. Just to scratch the surface, the mezzo-soprano powerhouse became the first artist to have seven consecutive singles hit number one, from “Saving All My Love for You” (1985) through “Where Do Broken Hearts Go” (1988). Her version of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” (1992) became nothing less than the biggest hit single in rock history. Continue reading “Whitney Houston – Discography (1985-2009)”
