A timely collection from Gary Puckett and The Union Gap who were responsible for some of the most melodic singles from the late 1960s, performed in a powerful yet sensitive manner.(US:50)
“Puckett's powerhouse, deep throated, smooth vocals; serious songs with well written lyrics; and some of the most sophisticated arrangements to come out of the 60s. The texture of Puckett's voice always took you on an emotional ride into your lovelorn dreams and desires.”
“The only way to listen to these songs is to put on a pair of headphones, turn the music up as loud as you can take it and let Gary's voice carry you away. This allows you to hear each and every syllable he sings and you can put yourself into the story each song is telling. Gary's voice has the sweetness, sadness, power and vibrato like no other - the power in his voice is phenomenal.”
“Gary Puckett's songs are the ones you crank up the moment you hear the opening strains on the car radio. Sure, they may be considered schmaltzy by today's standards, but he sings as passionately and earnestly and breathes this honest sincerity into his songs that make you want to take a mental trip back in time.”
“Gary Puckett could've gone schmaltzy on some of these tunes but chose to sing it straight. That's not an easy thing to do, given some of his material. These songs are sung and played beautifully. This is a very romantic set and very heartfelt.”
“Gary's unbelievable powerful voice and octave level for these songs has not been outdone by anyone to this day nor probably ever will. The 60s showed so much raw talent and energy in music and songs, unlike any other time in our history.”
“Gary Puckett's soulful and tormented singing voice is very compelling and can cast a spell on you. You can really get hooked on Gary's songs instantly. Classic songs which still get a lot of playing time by the oldies radio stations to this day.”
