Product Description
Incredible rare collection of ALL original recordings featuring Dickey Lee. Beautifully mastered, these original recordings sound better than any other Dickey Lee CD on the market today.
In 1962, Patches became a million seller. One of the "teenage disaster" songs which were popular at the time, it reached the pop top ten. Dickey Lee followed it with I Saw Linda Yesterday the same year and the cryptic Laurie (Strange Things Happen) in 1965. These three records would pave the way for a 40 year career for the soulful country singer.
Dickey Lee had his greatest success as a country artist. His list of top 10 hits include Rocky, 9,999,999 Tears, Never Ending Song of Love and Angel, Roses and Rain. His gift for song writing and performing has endured as Dickey Lee continues to perform and write for other artists.

Customer Reviews:
AWESOME COLLECTION!!!.......2007-02-05
I WAS VERY HAPPY TO FIND THIS COLLECTION. I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING OF DICKEY LEE FOR A LONG TIME. THIS COLLECTION IS SUPERB, AND IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY MUSIC LIBRARY
Great Service & Product.......2006-05-02
I love this cd, it is the best!!! I would recommend it highly if your into the 60's era.
this is one of the best CDs.......2006-02-07
this is one of the best Dickey Lee CDs I have heard. this one has most of his big hits. the only one missing is "Red, Green Yellow and Blue" an APCO 45 he had out around 1967/68. all the hits that are here, are the best recordings I have heard on a CD of Dickey Lee. I am most pleased with this CD. Keep up the good work. it is good to see a good recording of Dickey Lee hits.
Dickey Lee: Great 70's country hits!.......2006-02-06
I wish this CD had better availability, as it has great Dickey Lee songs that are virtually lost otherwise. This is the only CD I've found with "Angels, Roses and Rain " on it. That and "9,999,999 Tears to Go" are great memories of 70's country gold that deserve preservation. Some wonderful memories on this CD...I'll probably go ahead and buy it used before it's gone!

Customer Reviews:
Don't Buy It!.......2007-05-24
This 2 CD set has a second or third tier of live performances -- not one song that you would find familiar from listening to Tom Jones. It has TJ songs he performs live with sound so poor it sounds like someone snuck a pocket recorder into a show. Also other people's songs that he sings badly, often butchering the lyrics. I wish I had read the other very negative review before I bought.
Horrible.......2007-04-29
Worst sound quality I have ever heard. Sounds like it was recorded by Chimpanzees. As a long time and very satisfied Amazon customer I am astounded that Amazon would sell anything this bad. I'm equally astounded as a Tom Jones fan that his organization would market this junk under his name. Amazon should offer refunds to anyone who ordered this CD and take it off their market.

Though this album is joyous and brimming with fanciful, free-floating spirituality, it may be hard for fans of Josh Clayton-Felt to hear it without a bittersweet mix of emotions. Clayton-Felt passed away after a mercifully brief battle with cancer in January, 2000, and this album--long-plagued by record company travails even during his life--is the final, compelling musical testimony of the School of Fish mainstay who turned solo artist. Cynics might foolishly dismiss its rich musicality and adventurous melodic sense as old school, but Clayton-Felt seems less interested in convincing skeptics than he is in cutting through ephemeral fashion to follow his heart. It's an album whose classic-rock sensibility evokes everything from early-'70s Motown to Lennon-McCartney, Difford-Tilbrook, and Jeff Buckley, crucially without a whiff of cheap nostalgia. The confident shuffle "Building Atlantis" and the bluesy "Invisible Tree" prove Clayton-Felt still found plenty of life in the traditional rock combo. But it's the fatalistic introspection of liltingly beautiful songs like "Too Cool for This World," "Dragon Fly," "Deer in the Headlights," and "Half Life" that may haunt listeners the longest; rarely do artistic triumph and personal tragedy become so hopelessly entwined--or rewarding. --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews:
Do Yourself a Favor - Buy Spirit Touches Ground.......2007-06-26
One things stands out with all the enclosed reviews of Spirit Touches Ground, that Josh has this musical gift that displays passion, tenderness, and a true God given talent for songwriting. I remember seeing Spirit Touches Ground in a used CD store. I just saw his name and the title, and without knowing anything about him, placed the disk in the player, put the headphones on, and was hooked on the first 30 seconds of Building Atlantis....."while the rest of the world was drowning around us, we were building Atlantis." And it just gets better from there. Too Cool for this World and Dragon Fly are just amazing. Every song is great!
Do yourself a favor, buy this CD, and then Inarticulate Nature Boy, Center of Six, and of course, his early group, School of Fish.
God blessed this world with a rare musical talent, one that sadly passed away much to early. Jarrette M
This disc is a masterpiece.......2005-03-19
From the opening drums to the closing crickets, this disc is simply a masterpiece and will touch you in your heart. Sadly, Josh is no longer with us, but he left this beautiful work of art behind for us to enjoy.
It is somewhat eerie how many references to his own passing are in here, both in lyric and title, such as: "Too Cool For This World", "Night comes creeping up, I'm not ready yet... I'm undone, long before I get a chance at it", "Spirit Touches Ground", "Already Gone", "If your road has reached the ocean, but your legs still want to go".
I highly recommend it to anyone.
Great Musician.......2005-03-16
I had the privilage of seeing Josh and the rest of School of Fish perform in my home town of Las Vegas back around 1992 when they were supporting their first cd. They played at the old Calamity Jane's, and they, especially Josh, were amazing. Since then, I've listened to their follow up album as well as Josh's solo efforts, all of which are great. Do yourself a favor and pick up any of the cd's Josh and/or School of Fish have put out. You won't regret it.
Josh Clayton Felt is the best ..........2003-07-24
When I first heard about Josh, it was the day he had died after a long battle with cancer. Thats the day I wanted to go and buy the CD ... and I don't regret it ... from the start till the end, Josh's voice sounds great and the songs are what I always wanted to hear. Songs like "Backwards World", "Too Cool for this World", "Waiting to Be", the title track "Spirit Touches Ground" ... and especially "Deer in the Headlights" (my favorite). Josh is simply awesome ... and thanks to the family for giving us this great gift ...
Dear Josh's Family: Thank you, thank you, thank you..........2002-06-19
Dear Josh's friends and family: Thank you, thank you, thank you... To a fan, this album is a sweet and sour reminder, but a lasting gift. To the uninitiated, this album is a 5am wake up call that challenges what you think you know about talent and the current music industry. Then you become a fan (see above).

Customer Reviews:
Sounds GREAT..........2006-11-16
I am going to review many Time-Life items that I have purchased over the years - Sounds of the 70's, Sounds of the 70's (Take Two), Legends of Rock & Roll, numerous 60's CDs & 50's CDs. The recordings are excellent and I know all the tunes - most have at least 18 songs. I would recommend any of Time-Life's compilations to anyone, who is looking for a great CD with alot of songs, we all know. The only complaint I have is that the CDs should have been maximized on the 50's & 60's selections. All in all, a very good purchase...

Something Great Gone Terribly Wrong.......2003-11-29
I LOVE the Reducers, I really do. And just about every necessary song you'd hope appears on this compilation. So what's the problem? Whoever mixed this CD did the Reducers a monumental injustice. The moment I put the CD in, I could tell that someone botched the job. The sound is muddy and the band's spirit doesn't shine through. I have tapes I recorded of this band off the radio on a crappy boom box that sound more vibrant! I have not heard the other Reducers CD's and any Reducers is better than none, but I believe I will be sticking with my vinyl LP's and hope that somehow this abomination is repaired. The band deserves it!
Let's Go!.......2003-11-02
This is it. Without the major label backing of the british bands of the era, and without the critical huzzah's of bands like the Shoes, the Scruffs, etc., these 4 guys from New London were simply one of the best rock and roll bands of the early eighties. Not really punk, more post-New Wave, they remind one of the great lost British bands that appeared on Stiff like Wreckless Eric and Tenpole Tudor (check the cover's album for those references.) What they were more than anything was one of the greatest bar bands of all time, that's where I saw them along with on my college campus. I saw them right when it seemed like they might break. They didn't which is where this comes in. At their worst, they're a fun guitar rock band from a time when that had been subsumed by synths, punk, post-punk whatever. At their best, especially on tunes like Better Homes and Gardens and the phenomenal Let's Go, they were sublime. Long live the Reducers.
They rock, pure and simple.......2003-05-05
Living in NYC, I got turned on to The Reducers in the mid-80s when WLIR used play the explosive "Let's Go." Screw Good Charlotte - "Let's Go" is a true anthem, right up there with "London Calling, Ghost Town, Radio Radio," and "What's So Funny `Bout Peace, Love and Understanding?" I recently convinced a friend to buy Redux; and when we put it on his stereo and cranked up the volume, he looked at me with widened eyes and said, "This rocks!" Thus has been the comment of anyone who has ever heard The Reducers. Indispensable for starting off mix tapes with a kick and a bang. And oh yeah, they were the first band to write an excellent pop-rock song called "Closing Time."

They are right - New London hardly ever does rock. The Reducers, however, do - in a big way.

Perhaps due to his reclusive nature or perhaps it was his iconoclastic vision, but Mickey Newbury slipped through the cracks. His peers--figures such as Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, and Townes Van Zandt--have often celebrated his genius, but his own artistic output, some 15 albums in 30 years, remains little known. Frisco Mabel Joy, his 1971 debut for Elektra, is his masterpiece: an ambitious, orchestrated concept album, a commanding vision of the American soul. Rather than picking and choosing from his vast output, this tribute addresses Newbury's neglect by matching a mostly younger generation of singer-songwriters and alternative-country troubadours with that great Newbury album. Interpretations from the likes of Chuck Prophet, the Walkabouts, Dave Alvin, and Bob Neuwirth alternate between acoustic intimacy and lush soundscapes. Jazz guitarist Bill Frisell contributes atmospheric instrumental interludes between songs and helps bind the distinct voices into one elegiac whole. And though the song was absent from the original Frisco Mabel Joy, Kristofferson's gruff but perceptive version of "San Francisco Mabel Joy" closes this fascinating, loving, and successful homage. --Roy Kasten
Customer Reviews:
newbury underappreciated.......2007-07-17
Mickey Newbury was a genius singer-songwriter always underappreciated and obscure by the general public. His original version of this album was highly acclaimed by critics and fellow artists and my all time favorite. I get excited any time I hear someone is doing a Newbury song and was anxious to hear this tribute. I congradulate the effort but for the most part disappointed, no one can really do Newbury like Newbury. David Halleys version of Swiss Cottage Place was the best and kudos to Kristofferson, Dave Alvin, and Bill Frisell. Support the Newbury family and check out their website.
Affectionate tribute with an original-sounding approach.......2005-01-05
An ambitious and effective, delightful if somewhat dour tribute to songwriter Mickey Newbury, whose original versions of these songs had an aridity of their own... For the most part, these covers -- from the likes of Dave Alvin, Gary Heffern, Meredith Miller and Chuck Prophet, with guitar interludes by Bill Frisell -- capture the whistfulness and whimsy, as well as the utter self-importance of Newbury's work, and add something new as well... Nice record!
ONE STAR FOR THE EFFORT.......2001-10-05
I'm so sick of these tribute albums. Now that it's back in print, get the real thing. What's the point?
A view from across the ocean.......2001-04-13
Interesting to see such a negative perspective of this record. I wonder if perhaps it is seen in a different light from the European audience, as a magazine over here recently named it one of the Top 100 albums released in 2000. It is certainly true that the album doesn't do justice to Newbury's original work; but for one thing, nothing ever really could (the original Frisco Mabel Joy is an unparalleled classic); and secondly, it seems clear that the intent was largely to interpret the work through the eyes of the artists who took part, rather than to simply rehash Newbury's version.
Whether or not it worked is, obviously, a matter of personal taste -- but I, for one, was pretty fascinated by Midnight Choir's dark reading of "An American Trilogy" (by a Norwegian band, no less); enjoyed Dave Alvin's roadhouse take on "Mobile Blue"; thought the hootenanny-style arrangement of "How I Love Them Old Songs" captured that song's spirit perfectly; and was amazed at the instrumental touches that Bill Frisell provided for the "interludes" and segues from the original album.
One other publication I recently ran across (this one from England) stated that this album "must now be considered the template for these enterprises." I haven't heard enough tribute albums to know whether I'd agree with that or not, but it's probably the most adventurous and rewarding one I've heard so far.
Poor mick.......2001-02-10
I have been a fan of Mickey Newbury since 1960,this cd does no justice to Mickey newbury sad songs as willie nelson would say.I had purchased two of these cds and gave them out for christmas gifts to other newbury fans..they mailed them back to me and one advised to use it to scare the cats away the other one had no comment...again, a poor rendition of the Great Newbury Frisco Mabel Joy...
