New Looks from an Old Lover--The Complete Columbia Singles

New Looks from an Old Lover--The Complete Columbia Singles

Having documented B.J.â€™s early sides with our 2-CD Set The Complete Scepter Singles, and followed his late â€˜70s/early â€˜80s foray into inspirational music with a pair of album twofers from the Myrrh label, it was only a matter of time till we at Real Gone Music tackled the next big phase in the career of this all-time great American singer, namely the classic country-pop sides he cut for Columbia in the â€˜80s. This is a stage in B.J.â€™s career that has seen little attention in the CD era, which is strange because he was just killing it on the Country charts with #1 hits like â€œWhatever Happened to Old Fashioned Loveâ€ and â€œNew Looks from an Old Loverâ€ and the #3 hit â€œTwo Car Garage.â€ In fact, out of the 21 songs on this collectionâ€”which includes the A and B-side of every Columbia single plus sides from the Cleveland International and Priority labels â€”eight were chart hits, among them the Top 20 duet â€œRock and Roll Shoesâ€ with Ray Charles plus â€œThe Whole Worldâ€™s in Love When Youâ€™re Lonelyâ€ and â€œThe Girl Most Likely To.â€ Weâ€™ve also added a pair of bonus tracks including his rare original solo version of â€œAs Long as Weâ€™ve Got Each Other,â€ the theme to the TV show Growing Pains, and his early version of â€œWind Beneath My Wings,â€ which ended up being a hit for Gary Morris and Bette Midler among others. Remastered by Sean Brennan at Battery Studios, peppered with rare photos, and annotated by Joe Marchese based on a fresh interview with the artist himself, The Complete Columbia Singles is a must for any B.J. fan and anybody who wants to hear some of the best country-pop the â€˜80s had to offer.
