Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

It's easy to see why hardcore country listeners expressed nothing but

disdain for Sylvia during her hitmaking peak in the early '80s. At a time

when country music already trending toward light, sweet pop music, Sylvia's

records were the aural equivalent of cotton candy, so light they nearly

floated in the air. Add her good looks to the equation, and she seemed like

a model marketed as country to the legions of country purists. And they did

have a point, since Sylvia's music was only marginally country. There was a

bit of twang here and there, some traditionally country themes and song

structures, but it was sugar-coated and polished to a gloss, fitting in

better aurally with the soft rock of the time instead of even the

country-pop. All this is evident on her 16-track installment of BMG

Heritage's RCA Country Legends series. What makes this series interesting

is that it doesn't use the Billboard charts as the sole guideline for

compilation; instead, it takes the biggest hits and expands them with album

cuts, B-sides, and rarities intended to draw a clearer picture of the

artist's depth as a country artist. Usually, this has produced some very

interesting, revealing collections, but it's an approach that's kind of odd

for Sylvia, since her entire career only makes sense in terms of the

charts, and this comes up short on hits. Of the 16 tracks, only six were

hits, leaving 12 charting hits behind, including big ones like "Fallin' In

Love," "Snapshot," "Sweet Yesterday," and "Like Nothing Ever Happened." For

a chart-oriented artist, that's a lot of missing material, but RCA Country

Legends still works -- and, in fact, functions as a nice counterpoint to

Renaissance's comprehensive 1997 hits package Anthology -- because it's

sequenced well, contains the biggest and best hits, while digging up a few

choice cuts like "Cry Baby Cry," "No News Is Good News," "Tonight I'm

Gettin' Friendly With the Blues," and "Eyes Like Mine" that prove that

Sylvia did depth outside of the charts. That said, RCA Country Legends

won't change any minds about her musical attributes -- this is still very

soft country-pop, and even condensed to a collection, there are a few duff

moments here and there -- but for those that like Sylvia or early-'80s soft

rock, this is quite enjoyable and nearly as an effective an introduction to

her as the hit-laden Anthology
