Our Take

It's rare to come across a compilation album that truly captures the essence of a particular era or movement in music. But "Stand By Me" does just that, transporting listeners back to the golden age of doo-wop and rock 'n' roll with its stellar lineup of artists.

From the smooth harmonies of The Drifters to the soulful crooning of Ben E. King, this album is a treasure trove of classic hits that will have you tapping your feet and singing along in no time. Standouts include the titular track "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King, a timeless ballad that still manages to tug at the heartstrings after all these years.

But it's not just the familiar favourites that make this album a standout. Tracks like The Platters' "Only You" and The Clovers' "Love Potion No. 9" offer a fresh take on the doo-wop genre, showcasing the diversity and innovation of the artists featured on this collection.

In true Pitchfork fashion, we can't help but nitpick a few minor flaws. Some tracks may feel a tad dated or repetitive, and the album could benefit from a more cohesive flow between songs. But overall, "Stand By Me" is a delightful trip down memory lane that will leave you wanting to dust off your old vinyl records and dance the night away. So go ahead, stand by this album, and let the music transport you to a simpler, sweeter time.
