    The Grass Roots Anthology

    By Ellen  May 5, 2005 | 1 out of 1 found this Anthology: 1965-1975 review helpful

    Pros: Grass Roots history, great liner notes and photos

    Cons: None, except right now it's out of print. But you can get it.

    A good look (and listen) at the history of a group that stuck tenaciously to their quest for the next hit, and the next, and the next, and the next... Includes the Bill Fulton version of Where Were You When I Needed You, which might fill out your col...lection, if you've already got the PF Sloan and Rob Grill versions. But there's so much more! All the best music from the albums, and for dessert become re-acquainted with the 70s hits like Glory Bound and the Runway, and that super Rob Grill version of Love is What You Make It, 2nd to last on the CD. And Mamacita, an acquired taste, but worth the effort. Good sound, in fact I swear I never heard some of those vocal embellishments on the albums. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Anthology: 1965-1975

  • All Music Guide

    It may be expensive, and two CDs of their work may seem like overkill, but this double-disc set is the one to get. Not only does it contain every hit and each single, and every B-side, from 1965's "Where Were You When I Needed You" through 1975's glorious "Mamacita," but the sound is extraordinary, far better than on any of the other hits compilations, and provides several revelations about the quality of their work. Highlights, in addition to the expected hits ("Let's Live for Today," "Midnight Confessions," "Two Divided by Love" etc.) include tracks like "Is It Any Wonder," with a chorus as radiant as anything the Mamas and the Papas ever recorded, and the seldom heard, vibrant "Mamacita." If you could never imagine listening to 120 minutes of Grass Roots material (this reviewer couldn't, either), this set will make you feel differently.

Biography

The Grass Roots

The Grass Roots had a series of major hits -- most notably "Let's Live for Today," "Midnight Confessions," "Temptation Eyes," and "Two Divided by Love" -- that help define the essence of the era's best AM radio. Although the group's members weren't even close to being recognizable, and their in-house songwriting was next to irrelevant, The Grass Roots managed to chart 1... Read more
