Negative Positive
Title: Interesting mix of early 70s hits
Review: Volume 4 of the "Have a Nice Day" series won't raise many musical eyebrows, but it does have a bit of a split personality.Much of the disc is MOR pop, like Mark Lindsay's "Silver Bird", Christie's "Yellow River" and Ocean's slightly folk-flavored "Put Your Hand in the Hand."Three of the cuts aren't country-flavored, they're flat-out country. Lynn Anderson's "Rose Garden", Ray Price's "For the Good Times" and Sammi Smith's "Help Me Make It Through the Night" were all successful on the pop charts, but they're died in the wool, cry in your beer country. Another track, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Mr Bojangles" was also a major cross-over hit.Brewer and Shipley's classic "One Toke Over the Line" and Wadsworth Mansion's "Sweet Mary" add a pleasantly humorous touch and do a nice job of rounding out a slightly disjointed collection.Volume 4 isn't one of the best in the series, but it's a lot better than some. This one's well worth the effort.
