They didn't write their own songs, they weren't guitar pyrotechnicians, and they never laid claim to the dubious title "voices of their generation." In one sense, Three Dog Night were a throwback to a simpler time; shrugging off the role of hippy-era prophets and politicians, they were simply old-school entertainers who sang great songs. As a result, they put bottles of wine on the dinner tables of some the greatest unheralded songwriters of their day. Randy Newman, Laura Nyro, Harry Nilsson, even Elton John all owe Three Dog Night for providing their work crucial early exposure. <br /><br />"Golden Biscuits" is the band's first greatest hits package, and was released too early to include some of their more interesting later hits ("Never Been to Spain," "Old-Fashioned Love Song," "Black and White"), but the biscuits included here are golden, indeed. Nilsson's "One," the first Three Dog Night mega-hit leads off the set, giving way to the band's emotional take on the "Hair" showstopper, "Easy to Be Hard." "Eli's Coming," "One Man Band," "Celebrate," they're all here, each containing evidence that these three long-haired crooners were among the great blue-eyed soul talents of their era, and a band that is well-past due for a critical reappraisal. Highlights: "Try a Little Tenderness," may not have quite the power of the Otis Redding original, but it is an awfully nice cover shot; the understated environmentalist's anthem, "Out in the Country," represents a career peak for this group.drumbonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594366310437242857.post-12370711049215264062010-03-11T15:58:06.351-05:002010-03-11T15:58:06.351-05:00Please watch this:
