Too Good To Be True.......2005-11-24

In 1975 I purchased an 8-Track Tape that I loved. It was called "Ray Stevens Misty" and it had the most upbeat tempo for some old songs like, Over the Rainbow, Deep Purple, Oh Lonesome Me and others. Believe it or not, when my parents died, I got their 8-Track Stereo System and all their old tapes. The player worked until about February of this year. I played my Ray Stevens tape on it constantly (just ask my husband) When the player broke, so did my heart. How was I ever going to hear my favorite music again. The last 12 songs on this CD are the songs from that tape. I am ecstatic!!! (...) If you like some of the old songs you will like this, they all have a different tempo, rhythm, beat and his voice makes them unique. If you liked his version of Misty, you will like this, believe me.

More Vintage Ray Recordings on CD.......2005-11-23

I am listening to this 22 song collection as i write this review. The music is wonderful...especially the gospel songs on the TURN YOUR RADIO ON portion. That album was originally released in 1972 and believe it or not, the title track was a big country hit. It hit the Country Top-20, the Pop Top-70, and the Adult-Contemporary Top-30. The other singles from the album weren't big in the country and pop format but "All My Trials" and "A Mama and a Papa" both crashed into the Adult-Contemporary Top-10 in 1971. The album also contained his 1969 hit, "Have a Little Talk With Myself". "Glory Special" is one of my favorites from the gospel album as is "Why Don't You Lead Me To That Rock"...the gospel portion closes with "Yes Jesus Loves Me", a song Ray wrote and one i had originally learned of in bible school when i was a kid. Song 12 kicks off the MISTY portion of the CD. "Misty" was a huge country hit for Ray in 1975...it won him a Grammy for "Best Arrangement". If you didn't know, Ray's version of "Misty" is did in a bluegrass style...fiddles, banjo's, plus the piano and steel guitar. The MISTY album came along in 1975. The whole album was a concept album, basically. Ray performs versions of pop standards and R&B songs...plus he tackles the country classic "Oh Lonesome Me" and he throws in some original material, too. The highlights for me on MISTY are: "Misty"; "Indian Love Call"; "Lady of Spain"; "Deep Purple"; and his take on "Mockingbird Hill" and "Young Love". On "Lady of Spain" we hear Ray in what i have always called a Louis Jordan-type vocal. The song is done up-tempo...Ray typically slows down songs that are known as up-tempo songs and if a song is known as a ballad, he sings it up-tempo...this is why "Misty" is up-tempo but "Young Love" is a slow ballad. "Cow Cow Boogie" is another good song...and it shows that Ray will take on ANY song from ANY origin and make it his own.
