Click to listen to Darlene Love's "Wait Til' My Bobby Gets Home" and "He's A Rebel"

In the age of girl groups, Darlene Love was a woman in charge, the exultant voice atop Phil Spector's Wall of Sound on records often credited to others, including the Crystals ("He's a Rebel") and Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans ("Not Too Young to Get Married"). This single disc sets those hits next to Love's own majestic songs with Spector ("Wait Til' My Bobby Gets Home," the coltish delight of "A Fine, Fine Boy") plus later Motown- inflected tracks with her group the Blossoms. A last session for Spector in 1974, "Lord, If You're a Woman" sounds like a genuine goodbye — that voice in front of massive echo, Spector and his Wall receding into the distance.

“(We're Not) The Jet Set”

George Jones and Tammy Wynette were still married when they recorded the tongue-in-cheek "(We're Not) The Jet Set." The lyrics, written by Nashville songwriter Bobby Braddock, who also penned Wynette's "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" and Jones' "He Stopped Loving Her Today," make fun of the good life by declaring, "We're not the Jet Set/We're the old Chevrolet set." Braddock recalled that while writing the song, he needed the name of a city that evened out the rhyme he had with "Riviera" and "Missourah." “I got out a Rand McNally atlas," he said. "In the first part are the maps. The last part is an alphabetical listing of cities. I wanted a rustic, small-time sound. I went to the listing for Missouri. And I found 'Festus.' I loved the sound of it."
