Johnny Tillotson - All His Early Hits - And More !!! (1990)

Posted By: Justin

Date: Feb. 13, 2015

Here we find the good folks of Ace continuing their survey of all that was great and groovy on black vinyl and transferring it to the small, shiny format. The vinyl album Poetry In Motion was a consistent seller since the day it was released, and this CD offers even better value as here we have 30 tracks (all but two of the A and B sides of the singles Tillotson recorded for Cadence before he left to do his national service). Every facet of Johnny's repertoire is represented, from country, through teen angst to soft rock. Give it a spin and hear why Tillotson stood head and shoulders above the glut of Bobbies and Frankies that threatened to drown the world in schmaltz in the early 60s.

The ultimate single-disc collection of Johnny Tillotson's early years, All His Early Hits compiles 30 recordings from 1958-1963, including two takes of "Poetry in Motion." "Well I'm Your Man" from 1958 is perhaps Tillotson's most rocking side, but most of these recordings are light rock and pop. Tillotson was firmly in the teen idol camp and had the requisite adolescent-sounding voice, but his performances display more subtlety and expressiveness than is typical of the genre, particularly on his excellent version of Willie Nelson's "Funny How Time Slips Away." This set includes a number of pop covers of country hits ("Send Me the Pillow That You Dream On," "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"), one silly teen novelty ("A Very Good Year for Girls"), and a few other cloying cuts seemingly written for 12 year olds, but ultimately the good outweighs the silly. Tillotson was one of the most talented of the teen idols and wrote some of his own material; his recording of his most famous composition "It Keeps Right on a-Hurtin'" is here as well.
