Liner Note Author: Alan Warner.
EMI`s BEST OF JOHNNY RIVERS is only one of several Johnny Rivers anthologies to omit the original hit singles which made the blue-eyed soul singer`s reputation back in the `60s. (The compilation entitled GREATEST HITS on the Soul City label is another.)
However, it does include a handful of previously unreleased live tracks in addition to the usual updated studio recordings. Rivers made his reputation as a live performer--indeed, many of his hit singles were live, or at least live in the studio--and it`s these recordings, including a rollicking "Rockin` Pneumonia," that will be of interest to Rivers fans.
