3 NEW ONES & 1 RE-RECORDING BETTER THAN ORIGINAL
The professional review above is, unfortunately, quite mistaken about several points. Three of the tracks are new to this album: track 9(early 70's blues club style), track 10 (late 50's "black" pop style), & track 13 (beautiful re-working of "GK & the Pips" classic). Nothing here is a re-working of any Thomas's work from the 80's decade. Two tracks (#11 & #12)were done only 2 years previous (2000) to this album (track 11 is virtually identical to the original). Track 14 is a vast improvement over the original mid-70's album cut. No huge string sections here, but the rhythm section & synthesizer arrangements measure up quite well. And B.J. Thomas, due to his ongoing touring & pride of performance, has a voice still strong & stylin'! If you want a bit of B.J.Thomas' latest new material & some good alternates of his 60's & 70's greatest, you'll like this album.
