Product Description
Their first two albums together on one CD: 1980's 'HueyLewis & The News' and 1982's top 20 'Picture This'. Includesthe top 10 smash 'Do You Believe In Love' and the top 50hits 'Hope You Love Me Like You Say You Do' & 'Workin' For ALivin''. Digitally remastered. 1998 BGO release.
Anyway, my all-time favorite song on this album is not even one of the groups hits. I am referring to "Forest For the Trees". When I first got to hear this song on Christmas Day of 1986, I was hooked!! I also enjoy pretty much the rest of the entire album, aside from "Whole Lot of Lovin'". My mom's favorite on this album is "Naturally", because it also sounds like a barber shop quartet. Emily's favorite on this CD is "Doing It All For My Baby", and it is somewhat of a favorite of mine as well. Another one of my favorites on this album is "Hip to be Square", because I have always considered myself a 'square'. And this song is somewhat of a war cry for those folks out there who are just like me. It all has to do with the way I was raised, and there's nothing wrong with that!
Anyway, for those of you who like hard-hitting, powerful rock music from the '80s era -- but without all the nonsense and profanity -- then I definitely would suggest that this album is for you. Don't get me wrong, for there are other bands out there who are just as popular as Huey Lewis & the News, if not even more popular, such as Journey and Rush -- whom I also love to this day, but Huey Lewis's band is one of the groups I began listening to early on in my teenage years. Besides, they are still pretty much "The Heart of Rock & Roll".
Anyway, folks, y'all might wanna pick this one up for your collection. Enjoy. The same goes for you, Emily, babe.
The Heart of Rock and Roll - a fun, poppy, hook-laden tribute to the history of rock music and a celebration of what's yet to come. Those horns make the song soar at the end.
Heart and Soul - their first top 10 hit and a great pop song finished off with some cool power chords.
Bad Is Bad - I used to hate this song, but time has made me come to love the wonderful bluesy vocal harmonies and the controlled playing. This is where you find just how tight a band they are.
I Want A New Drug - One of the coolest News songs; the lyrics are terrific and the band plays it into the stratosphere, with horns making the song fly once again.
Walking On A Thin Line - My personal favorite News song. Kind of autobiographical, but the tight playing - particularly in the chorus - makes this song special and timeless.
Finally Found A Home - Another great, but forgotten song; it's almost the band's lyrical response to the struggles expressed in Walking On A Thin Line. Those who don't know the News beyond their bounty of hits need to hear this song to really appreicate them.
If This Is It - A poppy breakup song - to me it's the weakest offering on the album, but when Huey wails "If this is it, please let me know", you actually buy it. So it's still okay.
You Crack Me Up - yeah, it's simple and says nothing new. And they sound like they're having so much fun, you'll wish you were right there in the studio when they recorded it.
Honky Tonk Blues - only years later did I realize how big a deal it is - a so-called 80's pop band covering Hank Williams, not just covering it, but capturing all the passion of the song.
Music is blessed with diverse artists. Some are there to challenge our thought process, and that's where Dylan came in. Some are there to set new trends - enter the Beatles. Some are there to lend the music to a rebellious generation - thank you Stones! Some made sonic exploration the playground, like Pink Floyd. And some blended wild amounts of style into new sounds, like Led Zeppelin. But sometimes, we dismiss those artists that just want to bring music to its simplest level and just make it fun and entertainment. And nobody since the mid sixties did it any better than the News did on this album. The best way to enjoy this album is to invite all your friends over, crack open a cold one, turn it up loud and par-tay!
First off, I am a huge Huey Lewis and the News fan and was lucky enough to have seen them "back in the day" as a $5 bar band in the SF Bay area. Although thought of as a pop band and dismiessed and panned by many in the music business, HLN were and still are an excellent rock and roll band. They always put on a great show and Huey Lewis, himself, is a class gentleman. They certainly belong in the R&R Hall of Fame in my opinion.
That said, the DVD portion of this release is dreadful. There are numerous ommisions such as "Back In Time" and "Some Of My Lies Are True" and "Perfect World". What is even worse is the quality of the video. I made a better copy of my HLN Video Hits using my VHS to DVD recorder! Whomever was in charge of the video portion should not pass go and not collect $200 for their work.
All in all, one can only hope for some great old stuff to get released like the live New Year's show from Japan and the remastered Video Hits collection. Thank goodness for my video to DVD recorder! If you are a true HLN fan, you have all the songs but wanted the DVD (like me). Sadly, you will be disappointed in the quality.
Especially appreciated here as a fan are harder to locate songs like the live version of Trouble In Paradise, and Cruisin' with Huey and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Definately go for the Greatest Hits and Videos version of his compilation, this includes 10 music videos from their heyday during the 80's, including all 5 videos from their extremely successful Sports album. One of the things that contributed to their success was their fun-spirited music videos, which showcase the band's wonderful sense of humor throughout. Whether if it's the six guys in the band strangely singing their undying love to a woman sleeping soundly in bed in the video for Do You Believe in Love, or Huey being ridiculed by a carnival worker for being unable to win a decent prize at one of the carnival booths in If This Is It, you'll really enjoy the videos throughout. My only complaint is they didn't release more videos, but that's being greedy.
If you like Huey Lewis and the News at all, you really can't go wrong with this collection. A great collection from one of the 80's biggest hitmakers.
The reason why I am disappointed with the album overall is because most of the big hits here are the single versions -- which are edited!! When it comes to listening to Huey Lewis & the News, or any of my favorite groups for that matter, I prefer the full-length LP versions of my top favorite songs. The only time I like a single version is when it is a remix version, which was redone for the better -- such as the single remix edition of "1-2-3", by Gloria Estefan -- and only then will I accept it.
When I first discovered that most of the hits I like were edited versions of the originals, I became utterly disappointed. However, "The Power of Love" is the same version I've always liked to this day, and the same goes for "Heart & Soul", "If This is It", and "Do You Believe In Love?". Emily's favorites on this album are two of the four aforementioned songs above, in addition to "The Heart of Rock & Roll" and "Crusin'". She likes the latter, because on our first big date together I brought along the CD in my Mustang, and I played the album for her all the way through. "Crusin'" is the song that pretty much describes our outing for that day, even though it was originally featured in a recent movie. Anyway, I wish I could say that my Mustang is a 5.0-litre convertible -- but it is only a 2.3-litre, 4-cylinder hardtop. Too bad, huh?
Anyway, for those of you who are like me and prefer the full-length LP versions of Huey Lewis's music, then I would not reccomend this album to any of you. Sorry, Mr. Lewis (with all due respect), but your best hit collection release so far is still "Time Flies" from 1996 -- at least in MY opinion. Anyway, I am also thinking about ordering another copy of that release, because my last 'girlfriend' (and I say that, because she turned out to be a phoney) kept it for herself. When she borrowed it from me in 2003, after we broke up I never got it back from her. Besides, I miss having the LP version of "The Heart of Rock & Roll".
Don't get me wrong, folks, but this latest hit collection by Huey Lewis is not all THAT bad, as indicated here by the 4-star rating. Aside from the edited versions of the Huey classics, there are also several other hits I enjoy on this album -- such as the live version of "Trouble In Paradise", originally featured on "USA For Africa: We Are The World", and released back in 1985. I also like "Back in Time", from "Back to the Future", also released in 1985. Both of these songs have been favorites of mine since I got my original copy of "Time Flies" and an import album called "The Heart of Rock & Roll: The Best of Huey Lewis & the News". The latter album also features the edited versions of the classic hits, aside from "Heart & Soul", "If This Is It", and "The Power of Love". I admit that before I bought that latter album, I failed to recognize the edited versions of selected tracks. I still have it today, though, but mainly for collector's purposes.
For those of you who don't have a problem with the edited versions of Huey Lewis's classic hits, then this album would not be all that bad. I intend to keep mine anyway, because I still have yet to watch the DVD videos on it. I've een without a working DVD player since early on last year, and have not had time or money to see about getting another one for myself. I have also been looking at ordering an NEC DVD burner for my home PC. Anyway, folks, that's all for now. Take care.
Best Regards,
Russell
1. Heart of Rock and Roll- Everyone knows this track, and it's a big one. This song has been called bad by some, even some called it a "history lesson" for naming all these names in cities, but it's a great opener.
2. Heart and Soul- The guitar line for this song drives it. It's an amazing tune, and the chorus is catchy as hell. Another great one.
3. Doing it All for My Baby- Huey shines as a writer here. It's a very good love song, and a nice solo is thrown in here as well. A very recognizeable track.
4. Do You Believe in Love- Another awesmome guitar line here. A slower paced song, and was redone to sound slower and more jazz type. I like the new version better.
5. Trouble in Paradise- I haven't really listened to this song much, so I cant give a good estimate on it.
6. The Power of Love- The pretty much definitive Huey song. From the Back to the Future soundtrack. Another great guitar part here, and the song starts from the get go, and doesnt ever let up.
7. If This is It- These guitar lines are becoming something of a pattern here. An awesome intro, and a great song. You can tell what he was going through when he wrote it. An awesome song.
8. Bad is Bad- A good song. A slow, underground type feel. Huey is going back to his home, and sees a strange pai of shoes under the bed. Nice.
9. Working For a Livin'- A fast paced song about Huey's working days. Short, clocks in a little over 2 minutes.
10. It's Alright- When the News do a cappella, they shine. This is a great song, an d all parts blend together so well, and they compliment each other.
11. Stuck With You- Kind of an ironic title. It's about two people who fight and have problems, but know they should be together no matter what they do.
12. I want a New Drug- Awesome guitar part. Awesome song. Cool video. All around good in this.
This record is definitely a departure from the "classic" sound of Huey Lewis and News. Matter of fact, Huey's raspy voice is really the only recognizable element that would make you ask your self, "What a minute, isn't that Huey Lewis?"
I don't remember exactly how this record joined my collection, but I suspect I purchased it while browsing countless material in used music shops in the mid to late 90's. I was never a huge Huey Lewis fan, I think I maybe owned "Sports" before this one, so the fact that I chose this over one of the band's more established pop records is a mystery to me.
It's a nice lighthearted collection of tunes, I enjoy "But It's Alright," "You Left the Water Running," and "Your Cash Ain't Nothin' but Trash."
I hated Huey and the gang growing up. Blek. Not good Pop; not even close to good rock. Indecisive. Here The News is: this is everything Rock and Roll couldn't be when it first got pumpin' in the 50s. Huey and the Comets take a good thing and make it great.
Do you throw Mary Tyler Moore parties? Put this CD on and for one entire CD, your party won't stop dancing. I love this album.
Alone on a desert island, I'll take this 4 Chords to make me happy and. . .a Tom Waits album to remind me that I'm. . .alone on a desert island.
then Lewis voice doesn` fit`s in in a way. Track 2 Blue Monday, has a good musical background atmosphere, but the vocal one brings it down. The saxophone is great anyway. Track 3 Searching for my love, is a sentimental weepie, and the quality mark weeps too. Track 4 She`s somekind of wonderful, is more in the Lewis 80 ths style, and this one works. On Track 5 But it`s alright we are back in the "stream of cliches" once again. It`s anyway ok in a way. Track 6. If you gotta make fool of somebody, sounds like "poor manns"Burt Bacarach,which is a minor stepdown.
Track 7 Mother in Law, is an upstiffer, and on this one Huey "steps" on the right buttons, all trough. Track 8 Little Bitty Pretty One, is an even better song. The only 5 star song on this CD, with it`s tempo up beat rock and roll rythm all trough. This one shines. Track 9 Good Morning little school girl, is an ok, blues song, which another vocal than Huey (or it could be?) brings some flaire to the song. Track 10 Stagger Lee, is a classic. The original is better. Track 11. She shot a hole in my soul. Yes she does and Huey does too, when i listen to it. Bad to the bone this, with it`s hybrid 50 th`s and 80 ths soundpicture. Track 12 Surley i love you, sound`s like a "comic book song", and is more "cartoon" than rock and roll. Track 13 You left the water running, is cool, and has a certain temperature all trough. Track 14 Your cash ain nothin but trash, has some guts, but it doesn`t kicks off . Track 15 Function at the junction has big band flair, but that`s all. Track 16 Better to have and not need, it`s "urban big band beat" as poor man`s blues brothers, but that`s not a quality mark on this one, but it sparks here and there sometimes. Track 17 Going down slow, is a fast "blues rock and roller" that sparks lively.
As a whole this one shake`s sometimes, but on most of the track`s it doesn`t. That`s it folks !
The album itself yielded three singles, two of which the Top 40. The first was the Mutt Lange-penned smooth pop song "Do You Believe In Love," a #7 hit which contains the aforementioned hallmarks of their sound, where the title chorus features harmonies from the group. The #36 "Hope You Love Me Like You Say You Do," had a more leisure doowop/jazz sound, with some stylings that would later be used in "If This Is It" in Sports. Finally, the snappy and upbeat "Working For A Livin'", which has some cool organ and which I remembered being played over the speakers at the 1992 Democratic Convention, missed the Top 40 by one spot. "I'm taking what they're givin cuz I'm working for a livin'" goes the chorus, as Lewis and buddies sing of the hardships of trying to make ends meet, such as a check that's already spent for expenses such as a $100 condo and $200 rent. It seems a bit unfair that a song aimed at those of us hard workers didn't do as well, and yet the equally upbeat "Hip To Be Square" made it to #3 years later.
As for the rest, "The Only One" with some hard-driving guitar from Hayes, is a fond remembrance to a classmate who had what it took to be cool and was an inspiration to his peers, only to have a not-so successful life, losing his girl, and finally dying in an accident. This catchy tune could've been a single due to its resemblance to the pop-rock performed by Rick Springfield, Jackson Browne, and Loverboy. Ditto for "Whatever Happened to True Love" on the protagonist's idealistic belief that they were going to be different from the breakup couples, yet in musing on the title words, tries to figure out what went wrong.
"Change of Heart" benefits from some strong guitars and a consistent rhythm section and is a great opener. It's classic 80's material. They cover the Hollywood Flames' #11 1958 hit "Buzz Buzz Buzz" to close things off, and their fondness for early rock and their influences are evident with this decent and upbeat cover.
Cutting their teeth on this Sports preview proved worthwhile, as it gave them a warmup at the gym-I mean studio, to produce their best album and arguably one of the best albums of the 1980's.
"My Other Woman" - This has to be one of the best cheatin' songs ever written. It takes a completely new look at things by asking what happens if the person you're cheating with starts cheating on you?! This song also features some of the best songwriting on Plan B. It's very clever without sounding stupid. I especially like the doctor's response to Huey's query and the background vocals by the News towards the end. Good stuff.
"I Ain't Perfect" - Huey proves he's not perfect by including this dud on the album Perhaps I'm being harsh here, but it sounds like Huey had a great line ("I ain't perfect, but I'm perfect for you"), and tried to write an entire song around it, but couldn't think of anything else to say. It's the first let-down on Plan B, but it's still better than a lot of the garbage Huey's released on his most recent albums. "Bobo Tempo" comes to mind.
"When I Write The Book" - An unquestionable highlight. This song has the best hook on the album, and I was singing along the very first time I heard it. Although Huey didn't have a hand in it, I think this song has some of the best lyrics on Plan B. "When I Write The Book" also makes good use of the News on back-up vocals. It gives me chills when they chime in with, "...when I write the book!...". I'm also a big fan of the organ riff throughout.
"I'm Not In Love Yet" - As far as I'm concerned, this track is a swing and a miss. It's actually a pretty good song with nice sentiment and decent lyrics, but I'm horribly disappointed with the selection of Wynonna as Huey's duet partner. I can think of about 58 better women to sing with Huey. Even Winona Ryder would have been an improvement. Wynonna does a better job than I thought she would, but she's a heifer and she sounds like a man. The Huey/Wynonna dynamic just isn't believable. Overall, "I'm Not In Love Yet" isn't a bad track. It's a lot better than I thought it would be, but it's still a difficult listen. It includes some of Huey's best vocals on Plan B, but unfortunately the use of Wynonna ruins the song for me. This one had a lot of potential.
"Thank You #19" - You've got to be careful if you name-drop Marvin Gaye and Sly & The Family Stone in the same song. It implies that your song is going to kick some serious butt. Unfortunately, "Thank You #19" doesn't quite live up to the expectations. It's still a pretty good song and I think it's one of the highlights for the News. The song makes good use of the band instrumentally and vocally. I especially like the instrumental portion towards the end. I also like the fact that Huey doesn't try to hide the fact that he's singing one of the most common cliches in modern pop music.
"Plan B" - The title track is another one of my personal favorites. It features a terrific bluesy intro and excellent guitar throughout. The use of the horns is also reminiscent of some of the classics from the mid-80's. This song is one of the best singalongs for News-wannabes and proves once again that the News are the greatest bar band in the world. I also like the line about the little dog and the big chain.
"The Rhythm Ranch" - This is a good follow-up to the title track and builds on the whole bar band-thing. It's something of a feel-good song, but all the bass singing in the world won't hide the fact that there's nothing here lyrically. I like the old-school piano solo and the harmonica at the end, but I don't think we have to worry about that Grammy.
"Let Her Go And Start Over" - Wow! Along with "When I Write The Book", this is my favorite song on Plan B. The harmonica solo that opens the song is so good that it hurts. One of the biggest highlights on the entire album is the call-and-response between Huey and the band. Huey sings, "My friends tell me..." and the News chime in with their advice: "Let her go and start over!". I love that. I also love the fake ending. Just when you think it's over, the News come back for more. I could listen to this one all day.
"I Never Think About You" - "Believe it or not, you're the last thing on my mind." Is Huey telling the truth here or is he fooling himself? That's the question. He reveals the truth halfway through the song. Oh, poor Huey. It just breaks my heart. I thought Huey was so cool. I never stopped to think that he might have feelings. Oh, he suffers so. I like this song, but Huey's singing sounds off. His vocals sound very strained and weak. Maybe his microphone was malfunctioning.
"So Little Kindness" - Excellent organ riff throughout and nice use of horns. We've heard it all before, but "So Little Kindness" fits surprisingly well into Plan B. It makes for a great ending to the album.
Over time it's become my favorite News album of them all. Sure, none of the songs will ever have the widespread acclaim of "Workin for a Living", or "Do You Believe in Love?", but this is the music that the News was born to play. Every song on the album is overflowing with soul and has an honesty that's hard to come by.
My favorites on the album are the cover of "When I Write the Book" which is better than the original for a very upbeat track, and then "I Ain't Perfect", and the duet with Wynonna refreshingly titled "I'm Not in Love Yet." To my mind, those three alone make the CD worth owning. The rest is gravy. Delicious, fatty gravy.
Their first two albums together on one CD: 1980's 'HueyLewis & The News' and 1982's top 20 'Picture This'. Includesthe top 10 smash 'Do You Believe In Love' and the top 50hits 'Hope You Love Me Like You Say You Do' & 'Workin' For ALivin''. Digitally remastered. 1998 BGO release.

The Heart of Rock and Roll - a fun, poppy, hook-laden tribute to the history of rock music and a celebration of what's yet to come. Those horns make the song soar at the end.
Heart and Soul - their first top 10 hit and a great pop song finished off with some cool power chords.
Bad Is Bad - I used to hate this song, but time has made me come to love the wonderful bluesy vocal harmonies and the controlled playing. This is where you find just how tight a band they are.
I Want A New Drug - One of the coolest News songs; the lyrics are terrific and the band plays it into the stratosphere, with horns making the song fly once again.
Walking On A Thin Line - My personal favorite News song. Kind of autobiographical, but the tight playing - particularly in the chorus - makes this song special and timeless.
Finally Found A Home - Another great, but forgotten song; it's almost the band's lyrical response to the struggles expressed in Walking On A Thin Line. Those who don't know the News beyond their bounty of hits need to hear this song to really appreicate them.
If This Is It - A poppy breakup song - to me it's the weakest offering on the album, but when Huey wails "If this is it, please let me know", you actually buy it. So it's still okay.
You Crack Me Up - yeah, it's simple and says nothing new. And they sound like they're having so much fun, you'll wish you were right there in the studio when they recorded it.
Honky Tonk Blues - only years later did I realize how big a deal it is - a so-called 80's pop band covering Hank Williams, not just covering it, but capturing all the passion of the song.
Music is blessed with diverse artists. Some are there to challenge our thought process, and that's where Dylan came in. Some are there to set new trends - enter the Beatles. Some are there to lend the music to a rebellious generation - thank you Stones! Some made sonic exploration the playground, like Pink Floyd. And some blended wild amounts of style into new sounds, like Led Zeppelin. But sometimes, we dismiss those artists that just want to bring music to its simplest level and just make it fun and entertainment. And nobody since the mid sixties did it any better than the News did on this album.

Decent song solection BUT weak video selection and quality.......2007-03-05
First off, I am a huge Huey Lewis and the News fan and was lucky enough to have seen them "back in the day" as a $5 bar band in the SF Bay area. Although thought of as a pop band and dismiessed and panned by many in the music business, HLN were and still are an excellent rock and roll band. They always put on a great show and Huey Lewis, himself, is a class gentleman. They certainly belong in the R&R Hall of Fame in my opinion.
That said, the DVD portion of this release is dreadful. There are numerous ommisions such as "Back In Time" and "Some Of My Lies Are True" and "Perfect World". What is even worse is the quality of the video. I made a better copy of my HLN Video Hits using my VHS to DVD recorder! Whomever was in charge of the video portion should not pass go and not collect $200 for their work.
All in all, one can only hope for some great old stuff to get released like the live New Year's show from Japan and the remastered Video Hits collection. Thank goodness for my video to DVD recorder! If you are a true HLN fan, you have all the songs but wanted the DVD (like me). Sadly, you will be disappointed in the quality.
Greatest Hits.......2007-01-17
Especially appreciated here as a fan are harder to locate songs like the live version of Trouble In Paradise, and Cruisin' with Huey and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Definately go for the Greatest Hits and Videos version of his compilation, this includes 10 music videos from their heyday during the 80's, including all 5 videos from their extremely successful Sports album. One of the things that contributed to their success was their fun-spirited music videos, which showcase the band's wonderful sense of humor throughout. Whether if it's the six guys in the band strangely singing their undying love to a woman sleeping soundly in bed in the video for Do You Believe in Love, or Huey being ridiculed by a carnival worker for being unable to win a decent prize at one of the carnival booths in If This Is It, you'll really enjoy the videos throughout. My only complaint is they didn't release more videos, but that's being greedy.
If you like Huey Lewis and the News at all, you really can't go wrong with this collection. A great collection from one of the 80's biggest hitmakers.
Huey Lewis & the News: Greatest Hits & Videos.......2007-01-10
Okay release, but a slight disappointment if you ask me.......2007-01-09
The reason why I am disappointed with the album overall is because most of the big hits here are the single versions -- which are edited!! When it comes to listening to Huey Lewis & the News, or any of my favorite groups for that matter, I prefer the full-length LP versions of my top favorite songs. The only time I like a single version is when it is a remix version, which was redone for the better -- such as the single remix edition of "1-2-3", by Gloria Estefan -- and only then will I accept it.
When I first discovered that most of the hits I like were edited versions of the originals, I became utterly disappointed. However, "The Power of Love" is the same version I've always liked to this day, and the same goes for "Heart & Soul", "If This is It", and "Do You Believe In Love?". Emily's favorites on this album are two of the four aforementioned songs above, in addition to "The Heart of Rock & Roll" and "Crusin'". She likes the latter, because on our first big date together I brought along the CD in my Mustang, and I played the album for her all the way through. "Crusin'" is the song that pretty much describes our outing for that day, even though it was originally featured in a recent movie. Anyway, I wish I could say that my Mustang is a 5.0-litre convertible -- but it is only a 2.3-litre, 4-cylinder hardtop. Too bad, huh?
Anyway, for those of you who are like me and prefer the full-length LP versions of Huey Lewis's music, then I would not reccomend this album to any of you. Sorry, Mr. Lewis (with all due respect), but your best hit collection release so far is still "Time Flies" from 1996 -- at least in MY opinion. Anyway, I am also thinking about ordering another copy of that release, because my last 'girlfriend' (and I say that, because she turned out to be a phoney) kept it for herself. When she borrowed it from me in 2003, after we broke up I never got it back from her. Besides, I miss having the LP version of "The Heart of Rock & Roll".
Don't get me wrong, folks, but this latest hit collection by Huey Lewis is not all THAT bad, as indicated here by the 4-star rating. Aside from the edited versions of the Huey classics, there are also several other hits I enjoy on this album -- such as the live version of "Trouble In Paradise", originally featured on "USA For Africa: We Are The World", and released back in 1985. I also like "Back in Time", from "Back to the Future", also released in 1985. Both of these songs have been favorites of mine since I got my original copy of "Time Flies" and an import album called "The Heart of Rock & Roll: The Best of Huey Lewis & the News". The latter album also features the edited versions of the classic hits, aside from "Heart & Soul", "If This Is It", and "The Power of Love". I admit that before I bought that latter album, I failed to recognize the edited versions of selected tracks. I still have it today, though, but mainly for collector's purposes.
For those of you who don't have a problem with the edited versions of Huey Lewis's classic hits, then this album would not be all that bad. I intend to keep mine anyway, because I still have yet to watch the DVD videos on it. I've een without a working DVD player since early on last year, and have not had time or money to see about getting another one for myself. I have also been looking at ordering an NEC DVD burner for my home PC. Anyway, folks, that's all for now. Take care.
Best Regards,
Russell

Decent Album For The Money.......2007-05-13
huey lewis.......2007-01-16
The greatest hits are great........2006-07-12
Such a good Album.......2006-05-23
1. Heart of Rock and Roll- Everyone knows this track, and it's a big one. This song has been called bad by some, even some called it a "history lesson" for naming all these names in cities, but it's a great opener.
2. Heart and Soul- The guitar line for this song drives it. It's an amazing tune, and the chorus is catchy as hell. Another great one.
3. Doing it All for My Baby- Huey shines as a writer here. It's a very good love song, and a nice solo is thrown in here as well. A very recognizeable track.
4. Do You Believe in Love- Another awesmome guitar line here. A slower paced song, and was redone to sound slower and more jazz type. I like the new version better.
5. Trouble in Paradise- I haven't really listened to this song much, so I cant give a good estimate on it.
6. The Power of Love- The pretty much definitive Huey song. From the Back to the Future soundtrack. Another great guitar part here, and the song starts from the get go, and doesnt ever let up.
7. If This is It- These guitar lines are becoming something of a pattern here. An awesome intro, and a great song. You can tell what he was going through when he wrote it. An awesome song.
8. Bad is Bad- A good song. A slow, underground type feel. Huey is going back to his home, and sees a strange pai of shoes under the bed. Nice.
9. Working For a Livin'- A fast paced song about Huey's working days. Short, clocks in a little over 2 minutes.
10. It's Alright- When the News do a cappella, they shine. This is a great song, an d all parts blend together so well, and they compliment each other.
11. Stuck With You- Kind of an ironic title. It's about two people who fight and have problems, but know they should be together no matter what they do.
12. I want a New Drug- Awesome guitar part. Awesome song. Cool video. All around good in this.

HUEY'S HAVING SOME FUN.......2007-01-18
Nice lighthearted collection of tunes.......2006-06-20
This record is definitely a departure from the "classic" sound of Huey Lewis and News. Matter of fact, Huey's raspy voice is really the only recognizable element that would make you ask your self, "What a minute, isn't that Huey Lewis?"
I don't remember exactly how this record joined my collection, but I suspect I purchased it while browsing countless material in used music shops in the mid to late 90's. I was never a huge Huey Lewis fan, I think I maybe owned "Sports" before this one, so the fact that I chose this over one of the band's more established pop records is a mystery to me.
It's a nice lighthearted collection of tunes, I enjoy "But It's Alright," "You Left the Water Running," and "Your Cash Ain't Nothin' but Trash."
Shake, Rattle, and (Especially) Roll: A Lil' Bit More Than Decent My Friends.......2006-05-25
I hated Huey and the gang growing up. Blek. Not good Pop; not even close to good rock. Indecisive. Here The News is: this is everything Rock and Roll couldn't be when it first got pumpin' in the 50s. Huey and the Comets take a good thing and make it great.
Do you throw Mary Tyler Moore parties? Put this CD on and for one entire CD, your party won't stop dancing. I love this album.
Alone on a desert island, I'll take this 4 Chords to make me happy and. . .a Tom Waits album to remind me that I'm. . .alone on a desert island.
Shake`s sometimes, but sometimes it does`nt ........2006-02-27
then Lewis voice doesn` fit`s in in a way. Track 2 Blue Monday, has a good musical background atmosphere, but the vocal one brings it down. The saxophone is great anyway. Track 3 Searching for my love, is a sentimental weepie, and the quality mark weeps too. Track 4 She`s somekind of wonderful, is more in the Lewis 80 ths style, and this one works. On Track 5 But it`s alright we are back in the "stream of cliches" once again. It`s anyway ok in a way. Track 6. If you gotta make fool of somebody, sounds like "poor manns"Burt Bacarach,which is a minor stepdown.
Track 7 Mother in Law, is an upstiffer, and on this one Huey "steps" on the right buttons, all trough. Track 8 Little Bitty Pretty One, is an even better song. The only 5 star song on this CD, with it`s tempo up beat rock and roll rythm all trough. This one shines. Track 9 Good Morning little school girl, is an ok, blues song, which another vocal than Huey (or it could be?) brings some flaire to the song. Track 10 Stagger Lee, is a classic. The original is better. Track 11. She shot a hole in my soul. Yes she does and Huey does too, when i listen to it. Bad to the bone this, with it`s hybrid 50 th`s and 80 ths soundpicture. Track 12 Surley i love you, sound`s like a "comic book song", and is more "cartoon" than rock and roll. Track 13 You left the water running, is cool, and has a certain temperature all trough. Track 14 Your cash ain nothin but trash, has some guts, but it doesn`t kicks off . Track 15 Function at the junction has big band flair, but that`s all. Track 16 Better to have and not need, it`s "urban big band beat" as poor man`s blues brothers, but that`s not a quality mark on this one, but it sparks here and there sometimes. Track 17 Going down slow, is a fast "blues rock and roller" that sparks lively.
As a whole this one shake`s sometimes, but on most of the track`s it doesn`t. That`s it folks !

Sports preview from Huey Lewis and News........2006-02-10
The album itself yielded three singles, two of which the Top 40. The first was the Mutt Lange-penned smooth pop song "Do You Believe In Love," a #7 hit which contains the aforementioned hallmarks of their sound, where the title chorus features harmonies from the group. The #36 "Hope You Love Me Like You Say You Do," had a more leisure doowop/jazz sound, with some stylings that would later be used in "If This Is It" in Sports. Finally, the snappy and upbeat "Working For A Livin'", which has some cool organ and which I remembered being played over the speakers at the 1992 Democratic Convention, missed the Top 40 by one spot. "I'm taking what they're givin cuz I'm working for a livin'" goes the chorus, as Lewis and buddies sing of the hardships of trying to make ends meet, such as a check that's already spent for expenses such as a $100 condo and $200 rent. It seems a bit unfair that a song aimed at those of us hard workers didn't do as well, and yet the equally upbeat "Hip To Be Square" made it to #3 years later.
As for the rest, "The Only One" with some hard-driving guitar from Hayes, is a fond remembrance to a classmate who had what it took to be cool and was an inspiration to his peers, only to have a not-so successful life, losing his girl, and finally dying in an accident. This catchy tune could've been a single due to its resemblance to the pop-rock performed by Rick Springfield, Jackson Browne, and Loverboy. Ditto for "Whatever Happened to True Love" on the protagonist's idealistic belief that they were going to be different from the breakup couples, yet in musing on the title words, tries to figure out what went wrong.
"Change of Heart" benefits from some strong guitars and a consistent rhythm section and is a great opener. It's classic 80's material. They cover the Hollywood Flames' #11 1958 hit "Buzz Buzz Buzz" to close things off, and their fondness for early rock and their influences are evident with this decent and upbeat cover.
Cutting their teeth on this Sports preview proved worthwhile, as it gave them a warmup at the gym-I mean studio, to produce their best album and arguably one of the best albums of the 1980's.

Huey Lewis and the News may have taken 10 years off between albums, but after listening to the ironically titled Plan B, it's like the Little Bar Band That Could never really left. Disarming frontman Huey Lewis is still turning out the same affable, effortless, pasteurized pop that he did when the band dominated the charts in the '80s, and his crack band plays with precision. The only difference is that instead of pining for a new drug, regaling listeners with those wry little cultural snapshots like "Hip to Be Square," or complaining about "Working for a Living," this collection of 10 original tunes (and a cover of Nick Lowe's "When I Write the Book") is an examination of relationships. Not the redeeming "Power of Love" that Lewis extolled in 1982, but the self-conscious ebb and flow of a long romance as it unravels. Songs like the discouraging "Let Her Go and Start Over" and the quirky "My Other Woman" throw a dim light on ardor and attachment. Even the album's standout track, "I'm Not in Love Yet" (a duet with the wondrously gritty-voiced Wynonna Judd) finds both parties hedging their bets. But you shouldn't. This is a strong collection of songs that elevates the band from being just another '80s retread, and also proves that Plan A is still working fine. --Jaan UhelszkiCustomer Reviews:
Forward With Plan B!: A Track-By-Track Review.......2007-02-03
"My Other Woman" - This has to be one of the best cheatin' songs ever written. It takes a completely new look at things by asking what happens if the person you're cheating with starts cheating on you?! This song also features some of the best songwriting on Plan B. It's very clever without sounding stupid. I especially like the doctor's response to Huey's query and the background vocals by the News towards the end. Good stuff.
"I Ain't Perfect" - Huey proves he's not perfect by including this dud on the album Perhaps I'm being harsh here, but it sounds like Huey had a great line ("I ain't perfect, but I'm perfect for you"), and tried to write an entire song around it, but couldn't think of anything else to say. It's the first let-down on Plan B, but it's still better than a lot of the garbage Huey's released on his most recent albums. "Bobo Tempo" comes to mind.
"When I Write The Book" - An unquestionable highlight. This song has the best hook on the album, and I was singing along the very first time I heard it. Although Huey didn't have a hand in it, I think this song has some of the best lyrics on Plan B. "When I Write The Book" also makes good use of the News on back-up vocals. It gives me chills when they chime in with, "...when I write the book!...". I'm also a big fan of the organ riff throughout.
"I'm Not In Love Yet" - As far as I'm concerned, this track is a swing and a miss. It's actually a pretty good song with nice sentiment and decent lyrics, but I'm horribly disappointed with the selection of Wynonna as Huey's duet partner. I can think of about 58 better women to sing with Huey. Even Winona Ryder would have been an improvement. Wynonna does a better job than I thought she would, but she's a heifer and she sounds like a man. The Huey/Wynonna dynamic just isn't believable. Overall, "I'm Not In Love Yet" isn't a bad track. It's a lot better than I thought it would be, but it's still a difficult listen. It includes some of Huey's best vocals on Plan B, but unfortunately the use of Wynonna ruins the song for me. This one had a lot of potential.
"Thank You #19" - You've got to be careful if you name-drop Marvin Gaye and Sly & The Family Stone in the same song. It implies that your song is going to kick some serious butt. Unfortunately, "Thank You #19" doesn't quite live up to the expectations. It's still a pretty good song and I think it's one of the highlights for the News. The song makes good use of the band instrumentally and vocally. I especially like the instrumental portion towards the end. I also like the fact that Huey doesn't try to hide the fact that he's singing one of the most common cliches in modern pop music.
"Plan B" - The title track is another one of my personal favorites. It features a terrific bluesy intro and excellent guitar throughout. The use of the horns is also reminiscent of some of the classics from the mid-80's. This song is one of the best singalongs for News-wannabes and proves once again that the News are the greatest bar band in the world. I also like the line about the little dog and the big chain.
"The Rhythm Ranch" - This is a good follow-up to the title track and builds on the whole bar band-thing. It's something of a feel-good song, but all the bass singing in the world won't hide the fact that there's nothing here lyrically. I like the old-school piano solo and the harmonica at the end, but I don't think we have to worry about that Grammy.
"Let Her Go And Start Over" - Wow! Along with "When I Write The Book", this is my favorite song on Plan B. The harmonica solo that opens the song is so good that it hurts. One of the biggest highlights on the entire album is the call-and-response between Huey and the band. Huey sings, "My friends tell me..." and the News chime in with their advice: "Let her go and start over!". I love that. I also love the fake ending. Just when you think it's over, the News come back for more. I could listen to this one all day.
"I Never Think About You" - "Believe it or not, you're the last thing on my mind." Is Huey telling the truth here or is he fooling himself? That's the question. He reveals the truth halfway through the song. Oh, poor Huey. It just breaks my heart. I thought Huey was so cool. I never stopped to think that he might have feelings. Oh, he suffers so. I like this song, but Huey's singing sounds off. His vocals sound very strained and weak. Maybe his microphone was malfunctioning.
"So Little Kindness" - Excellent organ riff throughout and nice use of horns. We've heard it all before, but "So Little Kindness" fits surprisingly well into Plan B. It makes for a great ending to the album.
It gets better with age.......2006-12-19
Over time it's become my favorite News album of them all. Sure, none of the songs will ever have the widespread acclaim of "Workin for a Living", or "Do You Believe in Love?", but this is the music that the News was born to play. Every song on the album is overflowing with soul and has an honesty that's hard to come by.
My favorites on the album are the cover of "When I Write the Book" which is better than the original for a very upbeat track, and then "I Ain't Perfect", and the duet with Wynonna refreshingly titled "I'm Not in Love Yet." To my mind, those three alone make the CD worth owning. The rest is gravy. Delicious, fatty gravy.
