Guide Review - Classics - John Conlee
Listening to this CD reminded me of just how many great songs John Conlee has had. I think he is probably one of the most under-rated talents out of Nashville. The songs are very strong, and most of them you still hear on the radio today, years after they first came out. The CD is released from RCR Records and produced by Bud Logan. Along with 19 of John's greatest hits, you will also find three new tracks."Rose Colored Glasses" is probably the song that is most related to John Conlee. It kicks off the listening menu with a bang. The CD continues to flow with such greats as "Backside of Thirty," "Busted," "Miss Emily's Picture," "Common Man," "I Don't Remember Loving You" and "She Can't Say That Anymore" to name a few. One of the new songs is called "She's Mine" and is dedicated to his wife Gale. It is a very touching song about what she means in his life. He ends the album with his newest single, "How High Did You Go." I'm sorry it didn't receive the airplay it deserved. It is a great song.
'Classics' is what I would call the ultimate John Conlee collection. For those that may not have much of his music, this has a great collection of his best. For those that have kept up with his music releases, this is still a great way to have all the really good stuff not only in one place, but also in easily accessed media. So many of the older artists' material is on vinyl and tapes and is hard to find again once you wear out the original.
