Search - Ronnie Milsap :: Kentucky Woman 22 Classic Recordings

Great cd, but would serve better with a 2 cd set

"Ronnie Milsap's late '60's recordings for Scepter Records were some of his greatest performances. Too bad no one has released a truly complete cd set featuring all the great r & b songs he did for Scepter. This cd features a good number of his best, but omits plenty of good tunes....like his version of Spinning Wheel, which cuts out the excess that Blood, Sweat and Tears implemented in their version....others like "Ain't No Soul Left in These Old Shoes", "Old Man at the Fair", "Win My Love and Break My Heart", "I Saw Pity in the Face of a Friend", "I Can't Stop Crying" (one of his very best!), and "Another Branch From the Old Tree" could all be included if they would reissue all the songs in a 2-cd collection. I have all these songs on LP and they are great, but sometimes sound scratchy from surface noise. Hopefully they get around to releasing them in a reissue."

Never Had It So Good Before

"While it could've included more, like what the other custumer mentioned, as well as There Goes My Heart and Maybe, the cd does provide more never before heard of tracks and including more info about Ronnie Milsap's catalogue. Includes the big R&B and Soul hit Never Had It So Good and all his other A-sides for Scepter Records on one cd. The only flaw here is Let's Go Get Stoned, which I'm glad wasn't a hit(no offense). Also, Ain't No Soul Left In These Old Shoes is included. Track List:

1.Kentucky Woman

2.Never Had It So Good

3.Traces
