Radio is treatin' this record as agodsend.

AN EXCLUSIVE HITS INTERVIEW WITH THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS BY JOE MEDWICK RIGHTEOUS Hmtll Ale BROTHERS It's an overused expression, but the time-worn axion. that "a great song will always be a great song" came true this year as the hauntingly beautiful Bobby Hatfield-sung ballad "Unchained Melody," from the summer sleeper hit "Ghost," has catapulted the Righteous Brothers back into the national spotlight and onto the pop charts 25 years after the song was originally a Top Five smash. The movie and soundtrack's success has also spurred sales of the original "Righteous Brothers' Greatest Hits" on Verve, as well as a newly recorded set on Curb, "Unchained Melody: The Best of the Righteous Brothers." In addition to the hits packages, both Hatfield and fellow Righteous Brother Bill Medley have solo albums on the way and while Medley has had previous movie theme success — most notably "(I've Had) The Time Of My life" from "Dirty Dancing" — Hatfield's output has been somewhat overshadowed in recent years. All of which makes the most recent success of "Unchained Melody" even sweeter for the "little Righteous Brother." HITS' resident Wrongeous Brother Joe Med- wick told the guys how he lost his virginity in the back seat of his '57 Buick to "Soul and Inspiration" — just last year.

You both must be thrilled by the studio and re-record the unexpected success of old songs? "Unchained Melody." Bill: The record companies started Bill: Ithink its wonderful, amazing.

Shelby Lynne, "Tough All Over" (Epic): Twenty-two-year-old Shelby Lynne sings with aa knowledge and a world weariness that extends far beyond her youth. With avoice that's strong and smoky, she declares her presence musically, leaving no room for discussion when it comes to the emotions she's singing about. Bob Montgomery mixes clas- sics like "I Walk the Line" with excellent new songs like "Lie TASTELESS IN HOLLYVILLE: MCA/Nashville's Neobilly wailer Myself To Sleep," adark portrait of faded love. Patty Loveless was fortunate — she had aCanadian Gold record for her third LP, "Honky Tonk Angel," to cover up that loud floral print, but manager Gerald Roy wand Tony Brown (r), MCA/Nashville Exec. Hank Williams, Jr., "America The !II1iis J4' VP & A&R Head, weren't so lucky. MCAINashville Ruler Bruce Hin- Way I See It" (Warner/Curb): AME ton sidestepped the fashion issue altogether in basic black. Myopia's not apatriotic buzzword, but in Hank Jr.'s testosterone-driven reality, there's not much room for dis- cussion. He's proud to be an American, dammit, and he's ready to tell Saddam Hussein to "stick it up his sassafrass" on the blustering "Don't Give Us A Reason."

"Let It Fly," produced by the Desert Rose Band's Herb Pedersen, picks up the evolution, keying on high- caliber picking, bending Appalachian harmonies and eclectic material. Dylan's "One Too Many Mornings," Eric Ander- son's "Close the Door Lightly" and the title track stand out.

Suzy Bogguss, "Moment of Truth" (Capitol): Bogguss makes giant steps in the struggle for artistic self-defini- tion, coloring in the gentle pen-and- ink drawings of her "Somewhere OPEN UP AND SAY Y'ALL: Epic's Shelby Lynne celebrates her Between" debut with fuller arrange- 22nd birthday at 328 Performance Hall with a traditional Nashville mating ments and adeeper spectrum of emo- ritual — dressing in men's clothes and being force-fed by CBS Records Nash- ville President Roy Wunsch while adoring CBS label execs fantasize tional shadings to draw from.
