Nelson's final Imperial release before leaving for Decca, Album Seven was his last hurrah before his early '70s comeback with the Stone Canyon Band. The hits he scored with Decca are covers of standards, as the former teen idol aimed for "adult" acceptance, a strategy that backfired with the arrival of the Beatles. The liner notes to this reissue point out that Nelson was one of the main catalysts in bringing country to rock & roll, and much of Album Seven displays a decidedly country edge, particularly in James Burton's guitar licks. The rerelease is fleshed out with bonus hits such as the self-examining "Teenage Idol" (a thematic precursor to "Garden Party") and "It's Up to You," which may have been Burton's finest moment. This is the only twofer reissue not arranged chronologically, since the second part is the 1959 Ricky Sings Spirituals EP. While not as good as the gospel music produced by his idol, Elvis Presley, the four religious cuts (including one composed by dad Ozzie) are noteworthy for the background vocals by Darlene Love & the Blossoms. --Bill Holdship

I bought this LP when it first came out in the early '60s, still have it and wore it out. The range of songs runs from rock, pop, to country.
The rock version of George Gershwin's "Summertime" still stands out to this very day, Joe Osborn's bass line has been copied many times. "Stop Sneakin' 'Round' has a very unique sound and syncopated rhythm and sounds new, as if it was recorded yesterday. Many of Ricks songs were way ahead of his time. I have a son-in-law that loves county music and I have ... Read More
