The title seems to suggest a best-of compilation, but Golden Hits is simply another in a long line of Sandy Nelson records cut in response to the chart blockbusters of the moment. These LPs live or die on the relative character and compatibility of their cover material, and this 12-song effort is a notch above the norm thanks to the addition of several R&B classics that afford the drummer the chance to cut loose. Nelson clearly savors the verve and creativity of hits like Wilbert Harrison's "Kansas City," Bill Doggett's "Honky Tonk," and Fats Domino's "Walking to New Orleans," and his drum solos exhibit an unusual finesse, complementing the melodies instead of overpowering them.
