BGO's 2012 double-disc set rounds up Juice Newton's last album with Silver Spur -- 1977's Come to Me -- and her two subsequent records, 1978's Well Kept Secret and 1979's Take Heart. The albums she released before striking paydirt with 1981's Juice, in other words. This traces Newton's transition from country-rocker to soft rock queen. Honestly, she never left the country behind -- it underpinned everything -- but there's a hazy '70s soft rock vibe that flows throughout these three albums, and that's the primary appeal of the set. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
