The
Best Of Dobie Gray (MCA / Astor Records LTD
PTY 1973 / 1974)
"The Best Of Dobie Gray" was the first, and is probably the
most comprehensive, compilation of Gray’s MCA
recordings. It was released in Great Britain on
the heels of "Drift Away', and featured the
majority of his most popular selections from that
album, as well as great gems from the "Loving
Arms" and "Hey, Dixie" albums. |

Spotlights Gray reworking vintage R&B and '60s hits, among
them "If Loving You Is Wrong," "People Get Ready,"
and "When a Man Loves a Woman." He also navigates
sentimental pop in "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye"
and adds a serviceable version of "Good Times."
His singing is strong, confident, and consistently
evocative, while his backing cast includes
keyboardist Rick Steff, bassist Dave Smith,
drummer Steve Mergen, and guitarist Rick Lott. |
