More Songs by Ricky would seem to point out the fickleness of the American public since it produced no hit singles. Yet this Capitol reissue is fleshed out by three non-album hit singles--"I Wanna Be Loved," "Young Emotion," and "Yes, Sir, That's My Baby"--indicating that Nelson hadn't even hit his prime. That notion is driven home by Rick Is 21, which features "Travelin' Man" and "Hello, Mary Lou," which stands as one of the greatest double-sided singles in rock history. A few ill-advised More Songs cuts approach cocktail jazz; Nelson is at his best on rock material such as "Make Believe," "Proving My Love," and most of Rick Is 21, which is his second-best Imperial album, surpassed only by Rick Sings Again. --Bill Holdship

More Songs by Ricky/Rick Is 21 is a splendid two-fer CD that gives us all the tracks from two of Ricky Nelson's record albums entitled More Songs By Ricky and Rick Is 21. The sound quality is excellent; and I love that artwork!
"I'm Not Afraid" starts the CD with a great number; Rick sings this very well in his great voice with a lot of sensitivity. The guitar arrangement shines and the backup vocalists do affine job of harmonizing flawlessly! "Baby, Won't You Please Come Home" has ... Read More

"More Songs By Ricky" is a substandard album by Ricky Nelson, but the other half of this cd, "Rick is 21", might be the best album from his Imperial years. "More Songs By Ricky" finds him trying material with more of a middle of the road pop style, there's very little rock and roll on this album. Maybe Ricky and his dad Ozzie were reacting to the recent success of Bobby Darrin with songs like "Mack the Knife" and "Beyond the Sea", or Elvis Presley's non-rock hits "It's Now or Never" and "Are You ...

These 2 originals released as one were Nelsons fifth and sixth Imperial albums, originally released in 1960 and 1961. The earliest album "More Songs by Ricky" has often been called Nelson's weakest Imperial release. This may be the case, but that doesn't necessarily make it a completely throw-away album.
Nelson had been one of the pioneers of rock'n roll, who in 1960 had had several big rock'n roll hits like "Believe What You Say", "Waiting in School" and "I Got a Feeling". But rock'n ... Read More

Thanks to a serendipitous stroke of luck, an old box accidentally coming to light, "More Songs By Ricky" can now be enjoyed in glorious 2-track stereo, sounding like it was intended to do in 1960, but didn't. Rock'n Roll? Yes! "Hey Pretty Baby" is a gem in the genre, but ... This is a collection containing various kinds of music, "That Warm Summer Night" being a gem of an entirely different kind. Both of those HUGE 1961 hits "Travelin' Man" and "Hello Mary Lou" included, and lots of other goodies that ... Read More

The 3rd release in a series of 4. "More Songs by Ricky" again finds superior production work and a peerless band, led by guitarist James Burton. This album differs from Ricky's previous efforts in that it finds him moving away from the traditional 1950's rock-n-roll/rockabilly style to a bigger "more mature" sound. We hear more piano and find the sax taking a big part in many of the songs found on this album. This appears to be move directed more by Ricky's father, Ozzie, than by Ricky himself. The ...
