American Music Club - Johnny Mathis' Feet

part two of a two cd set (featuring three previously unavailable tracks)

Virgin 1993

First thing on the shelf is a gold-leafed cardboard box - 'American Music Club - The San Francisco Collection'. Inside are 5 CD singles. Not all are from The San Franciso Collection.

'I laid all my songs at Johnny Mathis' feet. I said Johnny, Johnny tell me, won't you tell me how to live'

I can't remember where I first heard this song, but it intruiged me enough to buy some AMC tunes. I must admit I don't really care much for them. Mostly insipid jangly nonsense, though Mark Eitzel does have a nice enough voice.

I grew up bathed in the sounds of Johnny Mathis, Neil Diamond and Marty Robbins. Maybe that's why it struck a chord.

Up to track 4 now and I must say I'm a bit bored with it all. Sorry the image is of CD1, but I couldn't find one online for CD2. Poor start. Sack the bum.
