Description

Johnny Rivers' most spectacular period of music. Just look at the talent involved in "Changes": Hal Blaine, Joe Osborn, Larry Knetchel, Tommy Tedesco, Bud Shank and Gary Coleman, the quality of music is truly unbelieveable. Tommy Tedesco's guitar on "Days of Wine and Roses" is just about the most beautiful thing imagineable, as is Bud Shank's sax on "The Shadow of Your Smile". Just put this on and be taken away to a time where music was creative, courageous, and thoughtful. I can not say enough about the quality of music heard here, Marty Paich's orchestrations are never obtrusive and complementmore… the music, surrounding Johnny Rivers in sounds that must have been such a pleasure to make. "By the time I Get To Phoenix", "The Shadow of your Smile", "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" and of course "Poor Side of Town" are here. Mr. Rivers followed up this album with "Rewind" and the quality continues: just listen to Tim Hardin's "It'll Never Happen Again", the Jimmy Webb jewels "Rosecrans Boulevard", "Carpet Man" and "Tunesmith", Paul Simon's "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her" to know that Johnny Rivers was working hard to change his "a go go" sound and image. Credit most deservedly goes to Lou Adler, producer of both these albums for helping Johnny Rivers to explore new sounds, surrounding him with these magicians. This is music, like honey, for the ages.
