AllMusic Staff Picks
November 4, 2014
Twenty-one albums is a lot of Ronnie Milsap and, unsurprisingly, not every one of the records featured in The RCA Albums Collection is terrific. What is surprising is how enjoyable so many of the records are. Milsap never strayed from his template much—Nashville country crossed with southern soul and gospel—but he slyly adapted it to suit changing fashions. This means the records always feel like Ronnie but always sound slightly different, a subtle and satisfying distinction over the course of 21 CDs.

The Australian singer/songwriter who'd made a splash first with the Moles then as half of the chamber pop duo (with Eric Matthews) Cardinal reached a critical peak on his superb second solo album. Aided by former Flaming Lips guitarist Ronald Jones, Telegraph was a richly envisioned triumph of clever guitar-oriented pop songcraft laced with subtle details and hints of desert psychedelia.
