| Low energy is not a phrase you'd use to describe this A-side! This might be meant as just a demo, but it doesn't stop Rodd and company from pulling out all the stops with a crazy over-the-top arrangement that I'm sure would please Burt Bacharach. And dig the drummer! Who is THAT guy, that's what I want to know! Judy Judy Judy Lane is right at Rodd's side, just where we want her. Del Casher (presumably; it sounds like him) on guitar. The engineer also deserves some credit on this, with all the sudden attacks in dynamics, in lesser hands there could have been distortion. A total pro-job; the song-poet Bertha Dwinell certainly got her money's worth on this one! | |
Ah, but after all that excitement, nothing like unwinding with a beautiful b-side, like "This Boy", "Yes It Is", "Deep Feeling" or.....this one, "Sweet Sweet Kisses". Like a cigarette after the sudden orgasm that ends side A, this charming, gentle song features a nice (and catchy) Rodd & Judy chorus. I always put a third harmony part in, whenever this come on, ha! Can't help myself! Again, I think song poet Dorothy Griffin got her money's worth; "Jackie" certainly thought enough of it to write his/her name on the label, lest it got mixed in with someone else's records....not an uncommon problem back in the day!
