I think that this single disc compilation from Rhino of their "best" tunes is the best one that's available.Orleans tends to get pigeonholed as a "soft rock" or "pop" group, but they showed a musical versatility that belied such simple generalizations. I like this paragraph in the liner notes that sums up their sound: "Good-time party band of serious-minded songwriting vehicle? Purveyors of uplifting love songs or messengers of politically-charged rock broadsides? R&B/reggae groove-meisters or harmonizing folkies? All of the above could be applied to Orleans."Indeed, this band really WAS able to play with chameleon-like dexterity, blending sounds and shifting musical focus when they wanted. Perhaps those traits didn't endear them to critics, but as you can say from the many reviews on this page, the fans loved their music. One of their earliest songs, "Half Moon" was also recorded by Janis Joplin, and later by Chaka Khan and Rufus. That song showed the funkier side of the band, but as the liner notes indicated, they could play some tenderly beautiful ballads, uptempo rockers, or even songs with a reggae rhythm. Lead singer John Hall wrote many of these songs with his wife Johanna, some of which touched on environmental issues. You could say that Hall was one of the first artists to express concern about climate change in a song, using "Cold Spell" as an example.This CD comes with a 16-page booklet with a history of the band and comments from some of the band members, who later regrouped and recorded new songs in the late 1980s and early 1990s (none of which are included on this collection).One side note: Reading the reviews for this CD, many people have compared the music of Orleans to that of other 1970s bands such as Firefall, Ambrosia, Player, and even Poco. One fan went so far as to rate Orleans behind Ambrosia, but ahead of Poco and Firefall. I'd put it the other way around. As much as I like Orleans, I don't think they are/were quite in the same league as a pioneering band like Poco. But I certainly would rank Orleans ahead of the other bunch of "soft rock" 1970s acts. They really did have many good songs, with hooks, harmonies, and lyrical substance. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Fast shipping!! *by D***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2022* Exactly what my mother in law ordered.
