Price & Walsh Songbook
The Grass Roots wrote songs on their albums, but for the most part the hit singles were written by professional songwriters. For the Roots' period of amazingly well-made pop-rock records, no writers were better than the team of Michael Price & Daniel Walsh.
Their songs:
HEAVEN KNOWS
BABY HOLD ON
TEMPTATION EYES
GLORY BOUND
LOVE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT
plus a plethora of superior album cuts.
Price and Walsh's songs have also been recorded by many other artists, including Cher, Yvonne Elliman, Barry Manilow, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods, and Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. TEMPTATION EYES: The Price & Walsh Songbook collects a full 26 cuts of rare material by these amazingly talented songwriters, including demos (some written for the Grass Roots but never recorded by them), an unfinished but fascinating psychedelic project they did as artists with producer Gary Zekley, some rare sides by other artists, and best of all, the original demo of "Temptation Eyes" performed by Price & Walsh themselves! A fascinating chronicle of their career beginings, their development into the hit songwriters they became, and a delight for Grass Roots fans in particular. Extensive liner notes tell the whole story, with detailed commentary from Price and Walsh themselves! Recommended!
