Taste of Honey

Although he had three hits in the U.S. between the late 1950s and mid-'60s, singer Lenny Welch was not remembered by history quite the way his labelmates at Cadence Records--Andy Williams, the Everly Brothers, Eddie Hodges--were. However, this comprehensive collection of Welch's entire recorded output for the label attests that he was a balladeer par excellence, with great taste in older material and a sweet, heart-melting tenor voice. This collection also demonstrates the always-great taste of the U.K.'s premiere pop music archivists, Ace Records.
