An unknown classic.......2006-04-30

I just bought this collection after hearing very little about it before. Having been a real Cher fan for years, I was quite intrigued by this album - which basically came and went in 1969. As many people (and the liner notes) have mentioned, this was the label's attempt to give Cher a "Dusty in Memphis" classic set. But just as that album was underappreciated for years, so too has 3614 Jackson Highway.

Let me say that some of the recordings sound a bit raw compared to the polished Cher singing we are all used to today. But how refreshing these young and passionate performances are! There are many covers (For What it's Worth, Lay Baby Lay, Yours Until Tomorrow, etc.) but most of the tracks - especially I Threw it all Away, Please Don't Tell Me, You've Made me so very Happy - show a fire and simplicity missing from some of her later work.

If you love this era and Cher's voice, you must pick up a copy (you can find this as a used CD for a bit less than the high sticker price). While none of these recordings became hit singles, they definitely hold up well today and help show another facet to a truly amazing superstar.

Cher: 3614 Jackson Highway (1969).......2005-05-09

Cher, as we all know, has been one of the most talented and successful female artists of our time and before that. We all know that Cher has made herself a star, when she and Sonny were a recording duo, as well as the stars of their television career. During that time, Cher had a solo career on the side. She has released the albums, ALL I REALLY WANT TO DO (1965), THE SONNY SIDE OF CHER (1966), CHER (1966), BACKSTAGE (1967), & WITH LOVE, CHER (1968). In 1969, Cher had released her fifth album entitled, 3614 JACKSON HIGHWAY. Now, this album really isn't what I had hoped for. Cher's music from the 60s was not all too great, but don't forget that Cher was still concentrating on her career with Sonny, so this album deserves more credit than people give it.

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
Not bad.

(JUST TO KEEP ME) HANGIN' ON
I usually love songs, where half of the title is enclosed in paranthesis, where the first half or the second half. This song turned out to be just great.

(SITTIN' ON) THE DOCK OF THE BAY
Great song.

TONIGHT, I'LL BE STAYING HERE WITH YOU
Not bad, but good enough for the enjoyment.

I THREW IT ALL WAY
This is what most of do during or after a bad relationship. So, if you're in a bad relationship, or you have just got out of one, this is the song for you.

I WALK ON GUILDED SPLINTERS
Ouch! I'm never getting these splinters out of my feet. Just kidding. Great song.

LAY BABY LAY
Something every dating or married couple would like to do.

PLEASE DON'T TELL ME
Great song.

CRY LIKE A BABY
Men will not cry like babies when we lose our girlfriends, since we our smart enough to find more. Great song.

DO RIGHT WOMAN, DO RIGHT MAN
Not bad.

I gave this album a chance and I do not regret that I did because the album is pretty good, but it is not totally great. But if you would like to check this album out, then go right ahead.

One of Cher's Absolute Best.......2004-03-28

A MUSIC FAN from Shefield Alabama was totally on the mark with his (or her) review. I would just like to add how powerful Cher's vocals are in this recording. This is one of the few albums where Cher's voice is ABOVE the music and as a result is an instrument in and of itself. (As it is in her album with Gregg Allman: "Allman And Woman" and the UK release of "It's A Man's World".) The fact that this bomb of a release is so majestic still today is 'living proof' of Cher's true talent: an incredibly gifted, soulful and expressive singer. Her cover of "Superstar" is what Leon Russell was writing - not the sappy cover Karen Carpenter turned in a few years later (beautiful - but not the real expression of a groupie which is what the song is about). The extra unreleased tracks are so dynamite you have to wonder what is not released from Cher's incredibly long and varied vocal career. 3614 via Rhino is better today then it was in '69. If you have any interest in this woman's singing this is a must.

Outstanding re-release shows grittier vocals by Cher.......2004-01-14

Before pop creators had their way with Cher and transformed her into the pop diva she is today, she was a hard-singing vocalist with an emotional edge to her voice that was genuine. This re-release showcases Cher's earlier less refined talent and does so in fine fashion. Her selections on this album provide the listener with an array of eclectic material, some hits and some misses. Cher's "Mama Look Sharp," a revolutionary war anthem from the musical "1776" is first-rate. Even her take on Superstar, which was a hit for the Carpenters, takes on a new glow. The CD boasts 22 tracks and superb liner notes that offer insight into this unique recording. Nearly half of the tracks on this CD were never released.

From the vaults to you.......2003-11-08

It is indeed an interesting compilation including Jackson Highway and the late 60's lp that never saw the light of day.
To be honest Cher is uneven here, and is seen in transition from 60's Cher to the Cher of the 70's.
The production is a bit heavy,even though it's Muscle Shoales, and there are a few great songs including the country tinged "Please Don't tell me", and "Just enough to keep me hangin on".
The lost songs are mostly attempts to find a new career, and were almost lost in the atco vaults.
The Cher that was to emerge with "Gypsies Tramps and Thieves ", is not to be found here, but for fans there is enough good singing on Jackson, and enough curiosity in the non released material thatit is worth the money..
The liner notes are exceptional...and give a detailed overview of the lp and refound cuts..
