Name: | (2001) Michael McDonald - The Very Best of Michael McDonald [FLAC] [DarkAngie] |
Description: Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine: For too long, there wasn't a Michael McDonald compilation available domestically. Rhino/Warner Archives' 2001 release The Very Best of Michael McDonald corrects that situation, offering a generous 16 tracks, including duets and a previous unreleased version of Higher Ground. The collection concentrates solely on his solo recordings for Warner/Reprise, which means it ends in 1993 and doesn't include anything from his long-delayed 2000 album. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, because McDonald stopped having hits in the late '80s, so there's nothing missing (even though casual fans can be forgiven for wondering why latter-day Doobie Brothers singles aren't here; at a certain point, those became indistinguishable from McDonald's solo work). At its best -- which would be "No Lookin' Back," "I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)," "Yah Mo Be There," "On My Own," and "Sweet Freedom" -- this captures everything that's good about laid-back, West Coast, soul-tinged soft rock. At its worst, it's professional, well constructed, and listenable, lacking only songs that work their way underneath your skin. In a way, the length works against the compilation, since the merely pleasant feels like padding, but McDonald's greatest hits remain sterling examples of finely made, soft blue-eyed soul. — allmusic Track List: 01 No Lookin' Back 02 I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near) 03 I Gotta Try 04 Our Love (Theme from ''No Mercy'') (Single Version) 05 Yah Mo B There (with James Ingram) (Single Version) 06 On My Own (with Patti LaBelle) 07 By Heart 08 Bad Times 09 Matters of the Heart 10 Sweet Freedom (Single Version) 11 Get the Word Started 12 Any Foolish Thing 13 Take It To Heart 14 Higher Ground (Previously Unissued) 15 Lost In the Parade 16 Blink of an Eye Media Report: Genre: Pop, Rock Country: St. Louis, Missouri, USA Format: FLAC Format/Info: Free Lossless Audio Codec Bit rate mode: Variable Channel(s): 2 channels Sampling rate: 44.1 KHz Bit depth: 16 bits Compression mode: Lossless Writing library: libFLAC 1.2.1 (UTC 2007-09-17) Note: If you like the music, support the artist | |
