Album Notes & Community Reviews
Assisted heavily by the brilliant arrangements of Jimmy Webb, Johnny Rivers drastically shifted his sound away from basic rock and roll toward highly sophisticated, orchestrated pop. 'Rewind' features the massively successful 'Baby I Need Your Lovin'', showcasing a deeply polished, blue-eyed soul vocal approach intertwined with sweeping strings. The album confirmed his ability to navigate the complex production standards of late-1960s Los Angeles.
