They don't make songs like these anymore. Lyrics of songs nowadays are junk.

Response? Sheer ENTHUSIASM! No fillers here. Nothing but great songs from the great late fifties era of Rock'n Roll, sung by one of its greatest performers. As if this weren't enough, there are several bonus tracks, among which the old Billy Holiday song "Gloomy Sunday", with Ricky accompanying himself on acoustic guitar. A fascinating proof of his often surprising versatility. I sincerely warn everybody against refraining from acquiring this CD, seeing it would be SUCH a stupid thing to do.

I wholeheartedly agree with all the reviews below! Ricky Sings Again was his first stereo LP and one of his best in my opinion! I don't particularly care for Gloomy Sunday but I do love his version of It's All In The Game and one of my all time favorites, Sweeter Than You. I don't like the alternate fast version of this song at all but I love the original plus his version of the old Hank Williams hit, I Can't Help It. His version of Restless Kid is also very interesting! I have Johnny's version on a great box set of his early Columbia stuff from 1959-62. I have all of these songs by Rick on the 6 CD set of his complete Imperial/Verv recordings by Bear so I don't really need these albums. However if you are unable to afford the box set I would recommend this album and all the others such as his first two albums Ricky/Ricky Nelson. Great stuff indeed and a true rock and roll pioneer!

Ricky Nelson`s 3rd and 4th album for Imperial compiled on one CD. The albums were originally released at a very short interval in 1958/1959. And it`s really impressive that some many great recordings were made in such a short period of time.
In my opinion these are the most consistent albums Nelson did for Imperial.
Filled with great tunes by some Rick`s favorite songwriters like Johnny and Dorsey Burnette, Baker Knight and even one by Johnny Cash!
The guitar playing by James Burton is terrific; varied and innovative. Have a listen to the guitar break in "One Minute to One", the Burnette rockers "Believe What You Say", "Just a Little Too Much", "I`ve Been Thinking" and Baker Knight`s "You Tear Me Up" and "You`ll Never Know What You`re Missing"
Great ballads that fit Ricks`s soft voice perfectly like "Lonesome Town", "Sweeter Than You" (fine alt. version), "Be True To Me", "Never Be Anyone Else But You" and "Halfbreed"
These recordings equals those of Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran as some of the best of the late 1950`s.
I never cared much for Elvis, sorry!

Two Ricky Nelson records from late 1958 on one CD, with sensational sound quality. The reissue also has the original label design, the original artwork reproduced, original liner notes (sappy but sweet) and new liner notes (excellently done.)This is the way to reissue great stuff from the past...exact except for the addition of a handful of alternate takes tacked on at the end to add value and running time. Ricky wasn't the innovator Elvis was, and he wasn't the songwriter Buddy Holly was, but he was a fine vocalist and he chose superb sidemen and songs. If you care about "Fifties Rock 'N Roll" you cannot leave him out of your collection. He is great fun to hear, even today.
