As a band the Grass Roots were always a shadowy bunch, a front for studio musicians and professional songwriters looking to get their songs on the radio. They scored 14 top 40 hits during their reign in the late '60s/early '70s and their hits were among the catchiest and most enjoyable of the AM radio era. "Let's Live for Today," "Midnight Confessions," "Bella Linda," "Two Divided by Love," and a slew of others are shameless pop made brilliant by multilayered harmonies and arrangements that liberally borrowed from folk-rock and R&B. The Grass Roots may have been product, but what great product. --Rob O'Connor

Album Description

This low-priced disc is far & away the best single-CD compilation ever issued of the Grass Roots' work, 16 chart singles covering every phase of their history, from 1966's 'Where Were You When I Needed You' (in its actual hit version) thru 'Let's Live for Today' & 'Midnight Confessions' to their last hit, 1972's 'The Runway.' Originally released in 1996. MCA.

Great CD!.......2007-05-26

This will certainly take you back in time. The Grassroots had so many hits and they are all here and are the original versions that you heard on the radio! My personal favorite is "The River Is Wide", which gets very little airplay on oldies radio stations. If you are a Grassroots fan, you will not be disappointed.

Grass Roots 2007.......2007-05-08

Just saw the Grass Roots(Grill and others) at the Sellersville Theater, in Sellersville, PA. He was using a cane but still sounded great. This takes me back to my childhood days and listening to the sound bites on this CD I am amazed how well he still sounds. I really recommend you buy this one. He also has a great stage presence and really interacted with the crowd. I would definitely recommend anyone who enjoyed this band in their youth to take time to see them. Yes, even after all these years! The crowd is small, personal and you won't regret it. He even cut a live CD in 2000 that he sells on tour.

POP MUSIC DELUXE = GRASS ROOTS style !.......2007-04-26

Well, what a great CD. Listen, I remember sitting in the backseat of my parents car, I was about 10 or 11 yrs old, listening to KLIF AM radio, Dallas. Hearing The Grass Roots songs through those cheap GM Chevy speakers was almost as good as ice-cream. I had just started playing drums (thanks, Ringo), and the Grass Roots songs propelled me even more. (I am going somewhere with this). Later, in the 80's, I went to a Texas Rangers baseball game where Herman's Hermits, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, The Monkees and The Grass Roots were playing a special show after the game. Well, I will say this, they were all good, but the stand-out (BY FAR) was Rob Grill and whatever Grass Roots band was performing with him. He KILLED the crowd, and let me tell you, those songs sounded as good as they did when I was sitting in the backseat of the car many years before. Get this CD. As a drummer, I've always wondered if Hal Blaine was playing drums on this CD. Hmmmmm. Anyone know for sure? (Hal was a monster drummer in the 60's and played on everything for everyone).

You will listen to this CD for a very long time. POP PERFECTION that STILL sounds GREAT!

An unknown tidbit about "The Grass Roots".......2007-03-28

before American Bandstand had a song "written" for them (by none other than Barry Manilow!) the theme song for American Bandstand was "Midnight Confessions" by The Grass Roots!

Now, I dare you say The Grass Roots weren't an important musical group! Before MTV, American Bandstand was the BOMB!

A definite blast from the past.......2007-03-09

If you remember and loved the Grassroots, you will still love them.

An Excellent Quo Retrospective.......2006-03-08

This album is probably the best Quo collection currently available. Despite persistent rumours, Quo actually have more than 3 chords at their disposal! One listen to '4500 Times' should help convince any listener of that. There is a good selection of classic Quo material here, particularly from their days when they were as powerful a draw as Purple, Heep, Rory Gallagher, Nazareth, Alex Harvey, Family, Thin Lizzy, Budgie etc. This double disc set is great value for money - the tracks sound fresh and I defy anyone to sit and listen to this without tapping their toes or indulging in a spot of air guitar. Pure entertainment!

The best 'greatest hits' album of 2004 ?.......2005-02-01

It could very well be the best 'greatest hits' album of 2004! As any british person know, Status Quo have had more hit singles than any other band in England (even beating the rolling stones!), and this album provides a great collection of their songs and some album tracks that weren't even singles! Although there are some of their Top 10 tracks that arn't on this (Rollin' Home, Ol' Rag Blues, Dear John), it still is a great album by any standards. Ideal for parties (as you don't need to keep skiping through the CD to find a decent song), or just a loud, beer drinking afternoon with your mates. No faults with this. Even if you only know 'Caroline' or 'Rocking All Over The World', buy it and get yourself hooked to the great riffs and catchy choruses of Status Quo..... "Get down, deeper and down!"
