Product Description

Brian Hyland got his first taste of stardom while still a sophomore in high school; his chart-topping hit, Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini, has been a staple of novelty compilations for nearly 40 years. As he reached his latter teen years, Hyland morphed into the Bobby Vee/Bobby Vinton/Gene Pitney teen idol mold popular at the time and connected with a classic girlfriend leaving for the summer pop song, Sealed With A Kiss. By 1970, at the age of 27, Hyland was already on his sixth label, Uni. He enlisted fellow former teen idol Del Shannon to make a more mature record than he had in the past, entitled simply Brian Hyland. The musical breadth of the album is quite remarkable; opening with the Sondheim/Bernstein song Maria from West Side Story, then making an immediate segue into a cover of Jackie Wilsons Lonely Teardrops. The album also featured covers of Larry Williams Slow Down (later popularized by the Beatles) and what ultimately became B. B. Kings signature tune, The Thrill Is Gone. But it was a Curtis Mayfield-penned hit for the Impressions from 1961 that was the albums centerpiece: Gypsy Woman. The Hyland cover hit #3, seventeen notches higher than the original. Hyland and Shannon teamed up to write about half the album, but only two songs managed to break into the Hot 100 and they were both covers. They were also his last two entries into the pop charts.

Revelatory reissue of teen idol's latter-day artistic triumph.......2006-11-22

Those who know Hyland's work probably remember this album's #3 charting single, "Gypsy Woman"; others will peg him for his 1960 novelty "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini," or his classic 1962 long-summer hit "Sealed With a Kiss." All three provide elements of Hyland's sound - playful, melodic and dramatic - but none fully prepare you for the brilliance of this 1970 come-back LP.

With fellow pop master Del Shannon in the producer's chair, Hyland sang a superbly selected set of covers and originals. The opening medley from Westside Story is turned from show tune to soul-searching adult-contemporary pop, with drums, bass and piano in front of a compelling string arrangement. Hyland is surprisingly effective as a blue-eyed soul singer on Jackie Wilson's "Lonely Teardrops," and with the help of a fuzz-guitar, Larry Williams' "Slow Down" is turned into a credible blues-rock shout.

Hyland is a gifted artist - much more gifted than his hit singles revealed - able to marry the qualities of his voice to the demands of his material. His version of "The Thrill is Gone" won't make you forget B.B. King, but neither will it have you fast-forwarding to the next track, and his hit rendition of Curtis Mayfield's "Gypsy Woman" perfectly modernizes the Impressions original into early-70s soul. Shannon's arrangements follow suit, cannily melding a pure-pop background into the songs' own structures.

Hyland and Shannon's originals are just as good as the covers, winningly mixing bass-guitar-and-drums with organ, strings and horns. "On the East Side" and "I'm Without You" show influences of the Hollies and Zombies, as well as the production-pop sounds of California. "Drivin' Me Crazy" has a fuzz-guitar underlining the vocal longing and McCartney-esque bass, and Hyland's folky song of suicide, "Mail Order Gun," brings to mind Paul Simon's early "A Most Peculiar Man."

Hip-O Select's reissue reproduces the album's original eleven tracks, and houses the CD in a slightly-oversized mini-LP cover preproduction. Sound is excellent, but the lack of new liner notes explaining the circumstances and fate of this LP is disappointing. Pop fans should snap this up while you can still find it, as the reissue was limited to 5000 copies - you'll kick yourself for missing it a second time! [©2006 redtunictroll at hotmail dot com]

Beautiful modern classical music from John Metcalfe.......2001-04-17

The first time I listened to it, it felt like stars twinkling in my ears. The CD is a mixture of modern and classical music. It reminded me a little bit of Orbital, you know from "The Box" but it also sounded a bit like the minimalistic music of Philip Glass. I loved it!

The music is perfect for a film, a theatreplay or a dance piece.

Customer Reviews:

Wow.......2004-01-24

It's a shame no one really knows about my boys from my hometown, Ann Arbor. The lyrics on all the tracks can top anything you hear on the radio, and the beats which were made at a studio downtown that I've recorded at are above and beyond the caliber of their level of popularity. This and their other album, Sweats and Kicks, are definately my favorite of my huge collection. Take one listen to track ten, Lyrictricity, and it will blow you away. Metaphors and similes and word play thrown together with precision and a unique style. Pick this album up, you wont regret it.

excellent.......2003-11-09

These guys know how to lay it down. Excellent sound and nice beats. Their gonna be HOT!! Within 20 min. after hearing the album I ordered one from the internet as well as picked one up from OTD at briarwood mall. Plus, I gotta give them props cause their from my hometown, ann arbor. AML is bout to be big...

Great sound.......2003-07-27

One of my friends told me about AML and let me borrow the CD to listen to. Within 30 minutes I was already on the internet ordering a copy for myself. I like the clean, fresh sound of their beats, many of which have a very smooth, jazzy sound. The rhymes are excellent, many of them much deeper than many of today's conventional artists, often touching on political and social issues that exist in modern American society. Great album, they're going to be big; get'em now.

Damn..........2003-06-22

I don't even know what to say. The illist, dopist, craziest, stupid nice shiznit hip hop rap I've heard in a long ol' time. Damn...

Straight out the ace duece.......2003-01-23

AML is definatly tight you gotta pick up this album there increadible plays on words keeps your rewinding the cd just so you can hear it again, and while your at it you gotta get binary stars masters of the universe your cd collection is incomplete with out them
