Editorial Review:The second installment in Capitol's twofer reissue program of early Imperial albums by Ricky Nelson illustrates why Ricky Sings Again stands as one of the best rock & roll albums of the 1950s, when LPs were built around a hit single. Sings Again includes the hits "Lonesome Town," "Never Be Anyone Else but You," "It's Late," and "Believe What You Say," but every song here is strong. Here the teen idol connects with his new band, one of the best rockabilly units ever assembled and headed by the great James Burton, who later backed Elvis Presley, Elvis Costello, and Gram Parsons. Bonus tracks include alternate versions of the hits, as well as a previously unreleased track called "Gloomy Sunday," which dad Ozzie Nelson refused to release due to its theme of suicide. Songs By finds the artist in both a more pop (the opening "You'll Never Know What You're Missing") and mature mode (the second cut is a strings-coated version of the old standard "That's All"). It's somewhat uneven, but it produced another big hit in the beautiful "Sweeter Than You." --Bill Holdship

I remember watching Rick Nelson on "Ozzie and Harriet" when he was Ricky and I liked his music. I liked it a lot, bought his records. Both of these came out in 1959 and if they were packaged separately they'd both have made my list, but since Capitol has seen fit to re-package them together, I'm putting them on my list as a single record. Two excellent records for the price of one. You can't beat that.
The set opens with the rocking "It's Late", a song you gotta love. How many guys have ... Read More

These two Imperial LPs from late 1958/early 1959 were among the album best-sellers in their time, and here you get both with wonderful digital sound improvements - Ricky Sings Again (tracks 1 to 12) and Songs By Ricky (tracks 18 to 29), with 8 bonus tracks thrown in for good measure, five of them alternate takes on the album cuts.
Some of his best hit singles are also represented here, four of them from double-sided hits in 1959 - Never Be Anyone Else But You (# 6 Hot 100) b/w It's Late ... Read More

Ricky Sings Again/Songs by Ricky is a single CD that gives us all the tracks from two of Ricky Nelson's record albums entitled Ricky Sings Again and Songs By Ricky. The liner notes give us the original liner notes alongside new liner notes and very accurate replicas of the artwork for both record albums. The quality of the sound is quite good and the CD artwork impresses me.
"It's Late" starts the track set with Ricky sounding great and his backup vocalists harmonize so well. The tune has ... Read More

Back in the 50's, albums were considered secondary to singles. Many artists of that time put out albums that were merely both sides of their current hit, surrounded by a bunch of filler. Ricky Nelson was among the few (Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino) who gave us an entire album of quality material. In fact, Ricky was the only rock and roll artist besides Elvis to have a #1 album in the 50's. This CD contains two of his best, both from 1959. "Ricky Sings Again" is one of his most popular albums, ... Read More
