I'm GLAD!

My parents purchased a collection from "Plaza House" (a mail-order company) of Capitol's greatest hits when I was a pre-teen. The collection was 4 LP's spanning the 30's, 40's, 50's & 60's. It opened up a great world of music to me and one of my favorite tracks was Nancy Wilson's "(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am". It was in brilliant stereo sound and I loved the beat and sway of the song. I've purchased the song twice on two separate Nancy Wilson collections. It was on the 2nd, a budget "Greatest Hits" collection that it sounded almost as good as on that vinyl edition.
Well, today I got my 2fer collection and it was like "WOW" the incredible sound of these albums. Love them both and was in a state of bliss from the minute "How Glad I Am" started. It sounded just like it did the first time I heard it...the plunk of the beat, the incredible bass, the tinkle of the piano AND, OF COURSE, THE INCREDIBLE VOCALS OF NANCY WILSON. Another revelation, to me today, was the song "Never Less Than Yesterday". I could hear shades of Dinah Washington in Nancy's voice yet it's all Nancy Wilson magic! Her vocals really soar on that particular track. I was blown away.
Another thing I love about this collection, besides the wonderful Nancy Wilson, is the backdrop of the incredible sound of Capitol Records. It's an understatement to say they had a knack for sound in the 50's and 60's (Nelson Riddle springs to mind as well as Les Baxter). But while listening today I couldn't help but think of the legend that is their recording catalog: Nancy Wilson, Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole, Judy Garland just to name a few of my favorites. Vocals and instruments just seem so much more ALIVE when they come from Capitol Records Studios.
These are 2 great albums to have in your collection. There are fantastic liner notes as well. The three bonus tracks are very worthwhile also. My favorite of the 3 is "Such A Night" from 1961...the song itself almost sounds like it could have been teeny-bopper material for Connie Francis (who I also like a lot & coincidentally, purchased her "Fallin' - Best of the Early Years at the same time as this purchase) but, once again, it's so much more coming from Capitol Studio's "High Fidelity" and from Nancy.
Also of note, the front cover of the CD is actually the "Gentle Is My Love" cover and the back cover is the "How Glad I Am" with modified titles. Too, I know some will say these albums are more pop than jazz recordings but that really is the dual legacy of Nancy Wilson. I say enjoy all her recordings in both styles. |

| I AM THE ULTIMATE NANFY WILSON FAN...HOW GLAD I AM WAS ENJOYABLE,COMPETENT NANCY, BUT GENTLE IS MY LOVE HAD BRILLIANCE,GENIUS, AND ULTIMATELY WAS ONE OF THE FEW PURELY SEEMINGLY PURELY HEARTFELT OF HER ALBUMS..SHE CROSSED THE FIRE AND ICE LINE AND SIMPLY UNWOUND ..PART OF HER CULT AND GODDESS LIKE STATURE WITH HER FANS IS HER ABILITY TO BE ACCESSIBLE AND REMOTE. SHE RESPECTED HER AUDIENCE BUT DID EXACTLY AS SHE PLEASED, FOR BETTER OR WORSE..SHE WAS A LOT LIKE THE EFFECT OF HEROIN..YOU KNEW SHE WAS MUSICALLY PROBABLY NOT A GOOD THING TO HANG AROUND TOO LONG, BUT YOU GET HOOKED.. WHETHER IT MADE MUSICAL SENSE OR NOT..YOU GO INTO DENIAL..AND KEEP CHASING THE HIGH..RICHARD "BUTCH "WILLIAMS LONG BEACH, CALIF |

Nancy's best albums of her entire career
Submitted on: 2009-10-27 |
|
| The reason why I said these 2 albums are the best of her career is because they made me a fan back in the 60s. I have often wondered why they are not on CD. Perhaps they kept the best for last?! |

| Why this LP has taken all these many years to be released on CD has to be one of the strangest mysteries in the history of CD releases. "How Glad I Am" is unquestionably one of Nancy Wilson's greatest artistic acheivements, not to mention its unquestioned commercial success after the title song won Nancy a grammy award in 1965. Hall of Fame arranger Oliver Nelson's writing here is on target, which makes this a solid package. Jump on this one while you can, before it drops out of print again for another 20 years. |
