Although hes lumped in with the gaggle of Bobbies and Frankies that sent rock &
roll into its first stages of manufactured, pre-packaged teen pop oblivion,
Louisiana-born and -bred Jimmy Clanton had a lot more to offer. Growing up in a
musical scene far removed from New York City slickness, Clantons vocals had a
lot more soul than his contemporaries; he played guitar and wrote many of his
own songs. This 24-track collection shows how Clanton started recording in New
Orleans, utilizing many of that citys best R&B players to make a sound with much
more emotional and musical depth than the other teen idols of his day. As the
compilation moves forward to the end of his hit-making days, however, the teen
confections start coming to the fore, with slicker productions appended to them.
But Clantons more soulful sense of phrasing imparts a more listenable quality to
even these tracks than just about any Fabian record youd care to name. If youre
willing to reject him on teen-magazine pretty-boy looks alone, youre missing out
on perhaps some of the best music from that genre contained on this
superior-sounding disc. He could rock, he could croon, and he wasnt gaffed to
singing some songwriters second-rate mewly handouts. In the pop landscape of
that era, thats saying a lot.
