Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Classic Seventies Music.......2006-11-27

Lobo is one of those talented artists from the Seventies that everyone has heard of, but can't place. His most famous hit was, "Me And You And A Dog Named Boo", a number one hit with a romantic breezy feel with simple chords and lyrics. "I'd Love You To Want Me" was also a big number with Robert Johnson guesting as back-up falsetto vocalist.

The rest of the album is a smart selection of love songs and low key poetic verses of the typical Top 40 genre, but presented extremely well. "A Simple Man" is masterful in it's mood and contains Lobo's earmarked guitar work.

If you like one of the songs on this collection, you'll like them all. It's first rate seventies pop.

5 out of 5 stars Very Best Of Lobo by Lobo.......2006-02-18

This is a trluy JEWEL from this extraorinary super talented singer-song writer. My surprsie is that all the tracks are brand new versions! & they are beautifully done, with his mastery of being such a simple man doing great loving mellow music with a very high quality (unlike todays noise makings). He actually sat down with his great team & played music again! My very favorites along with his great hits are Stoney, Faithful, Don't tell me goodnight & of course Me & You & a Dog Named Boo wich sounds a little diferent (like all tracks) but always spectacular. Where are you Lobo? We need you back,, wherever you are, God Bless you & have you in good health. We Love you & never forget you, We long for you. Definitely a more than 5 star rated album & musician.-

5 out of 5 stars Keep em' coming Lobo........2005-12-27

The Best Of Lobo CD is a great edition to any fan of Lobo collection. The Very Best Of Lobo has the best from his early (tracks 1-10) years such as....Me And You And A Dog Named Boo and A Simple Man, to current recordings(11-18) such as...Dream Lover and The End Of The World. Two favorites of the newer recordings, Yellow River and Back Bay are really the standouts on this disc. A very soothing singing voice that's not raspy or whiney. With a great backup band to match. A very under-rated singer/songwriter Lobo is still one of the best!

5 out of 5 stars Two classics and other great songs.......2005-03-16

Born Kent Lavoie, Lobo had three American top ten hits, these being Me and you and a dog named Boo (a novelty song, but brilliantly done), I'd love you to want me (a song he offered to the Hollies before deciding to release his own version after they wanted to change it and take half the songwriting royalties) and Don't expect me to be your friend. The first two of these were also huge hits in Britain. He had several other lesser American hits, but no more UK hits.

On this compilation you will find Lobo's big hits, some of his other great songs and his covers of the classic songs It doesn't matter anymore (Buddy Holly), End of the world (Skeeter Davis), Dream lover (Bobby Darin), Will you still love me tomorrow (Shirelles) and Let it be me (Everly brothers).

Lobo's style could variously be described as soft rock or folk-pop. Actually it was a mix of all these elements. If you like Bread, but you'd like something a bit folksier, Lobo may be just what you're looking for.
