Brenton Wood's biggest hits were covered on
Original Sound's first collection,
18 of the Best, which leaves this collection without any easy hook into its treasures. But, make no mistake, even with this shoddy packaging, indifferent mastering, and haphazard sequencing (including some songs that might not have made the cut in a more carefully considered collection), this still has a number of wonderful, easygoing, classy
pop-soul gems that offer convincing evidence that
Wood is one of the most underrated
soul singers of his time. And, considering that so little of his material is easily available on CD, you take these kind of pleasures wherever you can find them.
