Album Review:
Mirroring the cover art depiction of America's dual life in England and the
U.S., History: Greatest Hits perfectly spotlights both the polished and layered
production of British studio legend George Martin and the West Coast tones of
the band's folk-pop style. Featuring the group's many chart toppers from the
first half of the '70s, this definitive roundup includes Neil Young-style
acoustic sides like "Lonely People," the hippie MOR of "Muskrat Love," and
breezy acid rock like "Sandman." And even though Martin didn't produce the
entire lot of songs here, his sophisticated and mostly subtle way with strings,
keyboards, and multi-track guitars is in evidence throughout. Adding to the fun
are additional highlights like the updated surf cut "Sister Golden Hair" and
ingenious McCartney-esque pop like "Only in Your Heart" and "Daisy Jane." An
essential collection for fans who like their '70s folk with a pop sheen, loads
of hooks, and top-drawer arrangements.
