Jukebox Hits of 1967, Vol. 2
is a well-chosen, thoroughly entertaining 26-track collection that rounds up a whole bunch of hits and sprinkles in a few oddities to keep things unpredictable. The songs range from the
bubblegum
symphony of
Keith
's
"98.6"
to the sophisticated
soul
of
Dionne Warwick
"I Say a Little Prayer"
to the badass
garage
sounds of
the Hombres
'
"Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)."
Not too many collections would have room for the rock-hard
British Invasion
classic
"I'm a Man"
by
the Spencer Davis Group
and the schmaltzy
pop
"In the Chapel in the Moonlight"
Dean Martin
. That could either be a good or bad thing, depending on how catholic your musical tastes are. For the more forgiving listeners, this collection is a blast. ~ Tim Sendra
