Comin' Right at Ya/Texas Gold (Audio CD),12 September, 2000
List price $17.98
REMASTERED CLASSIC TWO-FER / 5
As a kid, I was into rock & pop, which is now called "Classic Rock", back in the 70's. I was scanning the radio tuner and came upon ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL's [then] current hit "The Letter That Johnny Walker Read" and was stunned at how incredibly great this narrated & theatrical country weeper sounded. Not long after, another "hit", "Nothing Takes The Place Of You", featuring the great AATW vocalist CHRIS O'CONNELL stormed up the charts and it was a bluesy gem of a performance to behold. The real Chris O'Connell radio hit stunner followed in succession up the charts with her classic performance of "THE BUMP BOUNCE BOOGIE", a toe-tappin' mover and shakin' swing number which would no doubt turn the Andrews Sisters(1940s pop superstars) green with envy. I've had that "TEXAS GOLD" Vinyl Lp since way back then, but, am so happy that it's been reissued here in a grand "two-fer" package in pristine REMASTERED sound! I'd never heard the "Comin' Right At You" album before, but, it's also an awesome recording that I must explore much more. C&W, Swing, Big Band Jazz were my parent's music, but, RAY BENSON & COMPANY gave my generation a superb blend of mesmerizing music to call our own...and, CHRIS O'CONNELL, wherever you are now, a HUGE "THANK YOU" for your treasured stellar performances and memories you gave us during your AATW days! Two classic Lps remastered on one "must have" Cd.
