B.J. Thomas - In Remembrance - Love Songs & Lost Treasures

Archive collection. Born in Oklahoma, raised in Texas, and beloved the world over, B.J. Thomas enjoyed a career that spanned six decades and over 70 million records sold. B.J. was a special friend of ours here at Real Gone Music; the emotion, honesty, and heart he expressed in his music were his calling cards in life as well. It's to honor his memory that we release this collection of rare and previously unreleased material recorded in the 1990s and 2000s. Veteran songwriter-producer Steve Dorff teamed with B.J. for several outstanding unreleased outtakes spanning from 1992 to 2010 including a poignant remake of B.J.'s nostalgic 1972 hit "Rock 'n' Roll Lullaby." Four additional rarities hail from a limited edition, direct response album from the mid-1990s, and from the Warner-Reprise vault comes a treasure trove of eight additional masters, all heard here for the first time. The grand total: 18 songs, 13 unreleased! Liner notes by Joe Marchese and rare photos complete our tribute to one of the nicest and most talented guys in popular music.
