Hal Ketchum
's
The Hits
collection covers the
singer/songwriter
's most commercially productive period on the
country
charts in the early '90s. These tunes didn't fit in with the
new traditionalist
revival of the period. At times,
Ketchum
's laid-back,
soft rock
material sounds as if it could have been recorded by
James Taylor
or
Kenny Loggins
. Among the ten hits are
"Sure Love,"
"Hearts Are Gonna Roll,"
and his first number one hit,
"Small Town Saturday Night."
also had a minor hit with a version of
"Five O'Clock World,"
originally recorded by
the Vogues
in 1965. ~ Al Campbell
