Sony
Music's three-disc set Rockin' 70's is a fun-packed trip through the
archives that hits on some very big names in '70s rock but also gathers
up some obscure tracks as well. There are songs here that are monolithic
examples of the power and glory of '70s AOR like Heart's "Barracuda",
Rick Derringer's "Rock and Roll, Hootchie Koo", Electric Light
Orchestra's "Do Ya", and Blue Oyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper".
There are Southern rockers (the Charlie Daniels Band, Molly Hatchet),
pop/rockers (Eddie Money, Toto), corporate rockers (Boston, Kansas), and
even both Winter brothers (Edgar's "Free Ride" is a highlight).
Everyone from Ted Nugent to Mountain to Native American rockers Redbone
gets a look in. Some of the surprises to be found are Andy Pratt's
melodramatic "Avenging Annie", Iggy & the Stooges' awesome "Raw
Power", and Mother's Finest's foundation-shaking funk-rock fusion jam
"Baby Love". As with any compilation of this nature, you wonder about
the bands and songs that were left off. In this case, Journey and REO
Speedwagon leap to mind, as each produced some fine rock for the Sony
family in the '70s. Despite these omissions, Rockin' 70's is still a
good comp that provides a sense of the variety and quality of rock music
in the '70s.
