MOR's Adventures in the Lands of Pop and Rock
Gene Sculatti, Scram, 2005
STAN CORNYN'S liner notes to Buddy's in a Brand New Bag, middle-of-the-road singer Buddy Greco's 1967 LP, tell it all: "Now the hip Mr. Greco focuses his talents on the pop music world. Where before the rhythms had been loose and lightly grooved, now they become driving, heavily orchestrated, massive. There are differences, most of which hit your ears immediately."
