If there's such a thing as a world-class bar band, the former Rolling Stones bassist's Rhythm Kings qualify. Core members Albert Lee and Terry Taylor (guitar), Georgie Fame (keyboards), Graham Bond (drums), and, of course, Wyman himself, are among the Who's Who of British blues and R&B. No wonder the grooves flow so easily on these 15 tunes, which range from boogie and Delta classics to Motown soul to disco, even including a cover of the Beatles' "Taxman" delivered as a tribute to George Harrison, who played on the previous Rhythm Kings CD, 2001's Double Bill. Some interesting song choices and compelling vocal turns provide the highlights. The first is the neglected New Orleans gem "Down Home Girl," where Fame's molasses phrasing captures the laid-back pace of idealized life in the Crescent City. Beverly Skeet ignites "Cry Baby" in tribute to Janis Joplin, who immortalized the Garnet Mimms tune. And Ray Charles gets props with three numbers from his catalog, including a live recording of "Georgia on My Mind" that's beautifully rearranged for vocals and jazz guitar--the album's most adventurous turn. Wyman says he's ending the group's 16-year run here. If that's so, Just for a Thrill is a fitting swan song. --Ted Drozdowski

Product Description
-- For years, accomplished San Francisco jazz vocalist Pamela Rose has thrilled audiences with her infectious brand of swinging jazz. Now, for her fourth and latest release, the appropriately titled Just for a Thrill, Rose delivers a thoughtful and inspired blend of original songs, standard classics, and some undiscovered gems. Every track on the CD is delivered by way of buoyant and mature arrangements, and spiced up with Roses confident and resonant voice that is five parts distilled jazz and one part sultry blues. Whether shes swinging hard to Lover Come Back to Me or delivering the searing title track of this recording, Rose has the rare ability to find and deliver the very essence of the song. Rose is not only an accomplished jazz and blues vocalist but a savvy student of the idiom. And in Just for a Thrill, Rose listeners will find a satisfying collection of soulful and romantic songs. In addition to five new tracks co-written by Rose and producer partner and guitarist Danny Caron (Charles Brown), Rose provides fresh renderings of classics such as Edith Piafs La Vie en Rose, and the almost-lost jazz gem, Old Piano Plays the Blues (co-written by none other than the venerable Steve Allen). The result is an album more mature and intimate than anything Rose has recorded before. Every one of the albums twelve tracks unfolds with a confidence and subtlety that makes the listening experience quite a thrill. --

Description
Musically, Ronnie Milsap is one of the few country-based singers who has a deep appreciation and knowledge of American standards. He grew up with them; he didn't have to "learn them." Ronnie knows the songs and interprets them wonderfully. A "standard" is a song that will never go away... the "standards" started in the late '20s and '30s and are "remembered" songs through the years...a "standard" is timeless and meaningful...a "standard" has become a fabric of our musical heritage...a "standard" has achieved greatness on many levels of sales and recognition...a "standard" is forever...a "standard" will never know an end...a "standard" is like an old wine, it gets better with age. This project is perfectly timed for Ronnie's audience...old and new. Songs include: I Don't Want Nobody To Have My Love But You, Teach Me Tonight, Cry, Make Believe Medley (Make Believe, I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter), Bewitched, Haunted Heart, But I Do, Since I Fell For You, Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye, But Not For Me, In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning, Just For A Thrill, My Funny Valentine, My Babe.Customer Reviews:
Just for a Thrill----IS GREAT.......2007-02-06
Ronnie Milsap's sorely needed departure from country music.......2006-05-23
Producer Jerry F. Sharell approached Milsap with the idea for this project, and it was a definite step in the right direction. I've always felt the restrictive country music format has hurt Ronnie more than helped him to a degree because it has prevented much of the music world from realizing just how musically diverse Ronnie Milsap is. After all, we are talking about a man who was recording mainstream rhythm and blues in the 1960's while playing shows with James Brown, Stevie Wonder, and others! It is sad that only diehard Milsap fans like myself are even aware of that fact.
Listening to this impressive CD, it is truly remarkable that a guy who is supposedly a country singer can croon a jazz/pop standard with the very best of them. Ronnie sounds nearly as convincing on these songs as Tony Bennett or Nat King Cole would! He soars on "Cry" and "Since I fell for you", and his beautiful voice is smooth as silk on "Teach me tonight" and "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning".
The highlight here for me is Ronnie's punchy, vibrant version of the blues standard "My Babe" which he delivers with as much gusto as anyone could. You wouldn't expect a man in his 60's to sound this strong and vital, but Ronnie's voice is as rich and pure as ever. The whole album is exceptionally produced with big and brassy musical arrangements. Ronnie sounds right at home in this lush setting full of strings and horns.
I would have never bought this particular CD if it had been recorded by any other artist since this isn't my favorite style of music. However, Ronnie Milsap is one of those great singers who can raise nearly any song to a whole new level and make it more appealing. It is a rare gift called "MILSAP MAGIC". Just for a Thrill is surely one of Ronnie Milsap's finest efforts, and was nominated for a grammy for best traditional pop recording of 2004.
Amazing...You will enjoy this collection!.......2006-02-27
Personally, I have not heard most of these songs done before, but I must say that Ronnie's voice and energy are a great match for the lyrics. My favorite song on this CD is "Bewitched". Wow!!! A great tune to sing along with and get lost in the lyrics with.
Hope to see something new from Ronnie soon!
Right Tunes, Wrong Voice.......2006-01-29
Best ever!.......2005-01-04
