This is the second volume of Jackie DeShannon's singles (1964-67) and the material is less patchy than the first. Great sound quality and as usual from 'Ace' a fantastic booklet. I would recommend buying both volumes to see how far she developed in such a small space of time. A part from the two poor Buddy Holly covers that open this disc the rest are all good to excellent tracks. My favourites would be 'She don't understand him...', 'When you walk in the room' (note this is the fast version - the original is on Vol. 1), 'Don't turn your back on me' is simply fanstastic, as are 'Remember the boy', 'Are you ready for this' and 'Find me love', all of these track were written by her and including the oustanding 'Splendor in the grass' which has a more adult lyric to it. There is a rare track (a promo track) at the end of the disc 'I haven't got anything better to do'. Buy both volumes and get intoxicated by the truly talented and beautiful Jackie DeShannon.

Jackie is one of the best

Another impressive collection of 1960s singles from ace singer and songwriter Jackie DeShannon. The singles come from the original master recordings, and the CD includes some interesting liner notes with commentary from Jackie DeShannon. This volume begins in 1964 with a couple of lively Buddy Holly covers and ends in 1967 with her foray into urbane pop music. In between is her soulful, top-selling performance of Burt Bacharach's "What the World Needs Now is Love"; another big hit ("When You Walk in the Room"--the Searchers took it to the top five in the U.K.); a lovely song she recorded with the Byrds ("Splendor in the Grass"); two tough but sweet rock singles, one with pre-Led Zeppelin Jimmy Page ("I Remember the Boy," "Don't Turn Your Back on Me"); two emotional ballads co-written by Randy Newman ("Hold Your Head High" and "She Don't Understand Him"); a raucous cover of "It's Love, Baby (24 Hours a Day)"; several girl group influenced pieces ("Will You Love Me Tomorrow?," "Are You Ready for This?," "I Can Make it With You," "Be Good Baby"); and a cute sing-a-long ("He's Got the Whole World in His Hands"). The lesser-known Bacharach/David songs are also very good--"Windows and Doors," "A Lifetime of Loneliness," "So Long Johnny," and the melancholy "Come and Get Me." The current volume follows on the heels of "The Complete Liberty Singles Vol. 1" and "The Songs of Jackie DeShannon," both of which I've enjoyed immensely.

Legendary trailblazer...Bravo Jackie DeShannon!
20 April 2011
Talk about a magnificent Legendary genius being sadly overlooked or completely taken for granted by radio & the Music Industry in general, shameful and complete stupidity and what were they thinking...for starters a Lifetime Achievement "Grammy Award" is in order plus induction in to "The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame"! Since the early sixties, trail-blazer Singer/Songwriter Jackie DeShannon has been writing great songs and singing her heart out but has not received her just do when weighing output against awards and chart-success, yet with all the great songs and performances it is so easy for any music lover to wonder why this injustice? Rising to the occasion of this amazing legendary career is UK Ace Records who did a superb job with the glorious "You Won't Forget Me: The Complete Jackie DeShannon Singles Volume 1" and now a richly engrossing "Come And Get Me; The Complete Liberty and Imperial Singles Volume 2" covering 1964 to 1967 is filled with stunning performances including sixties anthem "What The World Needs Now Is Love", a timeless classic that defines the sixties and to date nothing compares plus the message is needed now more than ever. Jackie went on to do other great Bacharach/David originals and title "Come A Get Me" is haunting & gorgeous and remember wearing out old 45 rpm...equally at home with an always definitive riveting original like "When You Walk In The Room" or hypnotic & engrossing "She Don't Understand Him Like I Do", getting inside great songs such as the soulful anthem "I Can Make It With You" or the mesmerizing "I Haven't Got Anything Better To Do", blue-eyed soulful wonder Jackie DeShannon always gives her all and this collection is a must have wondrous collection for any serious music lover who appreciate the finest music has to offer...Bravo Jackie DeShannon and looking forward to the incredible Volume 3 sure to include another timeless sixties anthem "Put A Little Love In Your Heart"...wow!
