The long awaited 'The Rembrandts
Greatest Hits' features 20 original recordings that date back to Solem
& Wilde's first band together, Great Buildings. Its a great way to
start things off, with Hold On To Something and Maybe It's You.
Hopefully the rest of the album Apart From The Crowd will someday see a
CD release. From there, its a healthy dose of The Rembrandts debut
album. The hit singles Just The Way It Is Baby and Someone are here,
along with a few others including the underrated Follow You Down. Their
second album, Untitled, is represented by the minor hit Johnny Have You
Seen Her and the popular Rollin' Down The Hill. |

Five songs from the multi-platinum LP
are here, including I'll Be There For You, This House Is Not A Home,
and the rocker April 29. They've also included three tunes from the
Wilde 'solo' album Spin This. Originally credited to Danny Wilde + The
Rembrandts, the lack of Phil Solem effectively makes this a solo
effort. We get the two tracks with gorgeous arrangements by Van Dyke
Parks and Long Wa lk Back, co-written by Gin Blossoms' Jesse
Valenzuela. Finally, a couple songs from Lost Together, including the
title track and the catchy Too Late. On the whole, this is a fine
collection. It captures all the hits, the best of The Rembrandts
harmonies, and some of their better rockers. Still, glaring ommissions
like Burning Timber, Chase The Clouds Away, and Drowning In Your
Tears---songs that capture the real soul of The Rembrandts--are
missing, in favor of lesser album tracks. Also, while the Wilde solo
tracks are great to have, Untitled and Lost Together are
underrepresented. St. Paul, Big Plans, and Long Way To Go, along with
the others mentioned, would make this a true 'Greatest' collection. |
