Roy Wood is one of those people who's just impossible to fully describe. Here are a few important words: singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, widely diversified, wildly erratic, and incredibly talented. He was the leader/songwriter/singer of Britain's The Move, the founder of The Electric Light Orchestra (although he turned that group over to Jeff Lynne, leaving after only one album), leader of Roy Wood's Wizzard, and the creator of one of the most brilliantly conceived and executed solo albums of all time (the lamentably unavailable "Boulders", on which he played everything from cello to saxophone to banjo to bassoon, along with the obvious guitar, bass and drums).
"Singles" provides an excellent overview of Wood's career. It includes 10 tracks by The Move, 7 by Wizzard, and 4 solo recordings. Singling out one or two tracks for praise would be impossible, since there is a wealth of strong material here. "Blackberry Way", "Brontosaurus", "Tonight" and "California Man" by The Move, "See My Baby Jive", "Ball Park Incident" and "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day" by Wizzard, and the solo effort "Goin' Down the Road" are all standouts.
"Singles" is a 'Can't Lose' purchase. But be warned: by the time you're done listening to it, you'll be a rabid Roy Wood fan, searching for more albums to buy!
