Smooth jazz star Boney James's first album for Concord is loaded with guest contributors: old guard pros including Philip Bailey, George Duke, George Benson, and Wah Wah Watson; and young stalwarts including Faith Evans, Ann Nesby, Dwele, Esthero, and Christian Scott. You don't need to be told it's a sleekly produced affair, replete with real strings as well as synthesized ones and vocal choruses, and that it showcases James's candy-sweet sound on saxophones. But James, who produced the album, tilts more than usual toward contemporary R&B, with the Evans-sung "Gonna Get It" taking top honors. He also reaches into the Antonio Carlos Jobim songbook with "Waters of March," covered not long ago by Cassandra Wilson, and with Nesby doing the emoting, animates the Chuck Mangione ballad, "Soft," with rippling keyboards. In striving to expand his appeal, though, he doesn't sell his fans short.  --Lloyd Sachs

Album Description

After fourteen years, over 2 million records, four Gold Albums, a Soul Train Award, and two consecutive Grammy nominations, Boney James begins the next chapter of his musical career. His Concord Records debut, Shine, features guest appearances by hip-hop/soul diva Faith Evans, jazz-guitar icon George Benson, R&B vocalists Dwele and Phillip Bailey, keyboard wizard George Duke, alternative-pop singer Esthero and Sounds of Blackness powerhouse Ann Nesby.

Wow! Boney has done it again........2007-07-15

I love this CD. He pairs up with various other artists in a little different sytle but it works. Having Boney and George Benson on the same track, is amazing and HYPNOTIC is my favorite cut. Absolutely a must for any smooth jazz listener.

Not a bad album but..........2007-05-20

if you happened to buy the six albums before this you gonna be a little disappointed.If you want him at his finest pick up Body Language and Sweet Thing.

Boney's finest work yet.......2007-05-19

Boney does it again with his first Concord release "Shine". Not only does it feature Boney's sensuous sax playing, but it does offer a bevy of guest artists such as George Duke, George Benson, even Ann Nesby (the grandma of American Idol finalist Paris Bennett). He sounds best on the tune "The Total Experience", which is heard on smooth jazz stations nationwide. I would certainly recommend this CD. Now if Boney would release a standards album a la Chris Botti, Maybe he can get Renee Olstead as a guest artist, or even Michael Buble.

Boney James Does it Again.......2007-05-12

This CD is one of Boney's finest. Being an avid Boney fan since Trust, I have gone to many Boney James concerts, most recently in March 07 at the Spreckels Theatre in San Diego, CA. Boney was magnificent! Listen to track number 2 and you will be awe struck. The entire CD is great, he has many great guest vocalists on this CD complimenting his magnificent saxophone playing. This is a must have CD, but nothing is like the real thing. You must see Boney James in concert. I have seen him at the Greek Theatre a couple of times, in the windy desert of Palmdale,CA outside at night and I have had the pleasure of meeting him in the airport and getting a super autographed photo. He is very humble and down to earth and one h*ll of a sax player.

He Gets Better and Better with Each Album..........2007-05-08

Just when you think you've heard the best c.d. by Boney James, he hits with you with another c.d. that captivates your mind, body, and soul leaving you spellbound and wanting more. This is by far my favorite c.d. by Boney James. He has the incredible ability to partner with the right mega-stars of various genres of music, creating some of the best sounds in jazz. My personal favorites are "Shine" featuring Esthero, "The Total Experience" with George Duke, the classic-soul hit "In the Rain" with the always sensual and smooth vocals of Dwele, "Gonna Get It" featuring the hip-hop lady of soul Faith Evans, "The Way She Walks" and last but definitely not least "Hypnotic" with one of the all time jazz greats, George Benson. This c.d. is a must have for any and all Boney James fans...you will surely not be disappointed with it.

This is not the first collection of David Gray's "pre-success" recordings, but it is the best one. Unlike many such collections of early works by noted artists, you're not seeing the artist's abilities in their infant state--each of these 15 songs is already great. The Mancunian musician's performing abilities were well developed by the time he first recorded in the early '90s; one might even argue that they sound best in the often stripped-down, more raw state on display here. The songs themselves, however, have definitely matured since Gray hit the alt-adult-contemporary big time with the electronica-tinged White Ladder in 2000; such songs as "Wisdom" and "Birds Without Wings" do show the marks of other singer-songers (notably Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan). These days, of course, David Gray is himself often used as an adjective, to describe all the other scruffy-bearded blue-eyed songsters reaching for the sensitive crooner's crown. --Mike McGonigal

Customer Reviews:

Why are you considering buying this album?.......2007-07-01

David Grey's early work is a treasure trove of brilliance. Some otherwise good performers put out hit-and-miss albums, and it's best to wait for the anthologies to grab the good tracks. Not here. The albums this anthology draws from are all stunning, from the first track to the last.

I'm not a DG fanatic; I'm just saying they are good. Very very good. So please, do youself a huge favor, and go pick up "A Century Ends", "Sell, Sell, Sell", and "Flesh". You're already here on Amazon, so go on. Consider it an investment in your soul, and you'll save shipping costs to boot. Because, after you hear these songs, you're just going to want to come back and hear all the tracks you're missing, like "Gathering Dust" and "Let the Truth Sting".

So buy this album if you must, but consider yourself warned: You'll love it.

Shining Before Babylon.......2007-05-17

This English singer-songwriter took a while to catch on in America, but he had released several acclaimed albums and EPs prior to achieving success in the U.S. This release is a compilation of the best tracks from these early British albums, and while these albums are now available themselves in the U.S., I get the feeling that this album is a pretty effective representation of the best efforts of those previous releases. Also, these tracks are relatively unadorned compared to those on Gray's recent releases, so the actual songs come through quite strongly in these recordings. Standout tracks: "Late Night Radio", "Everytime", "Debauchery", and the title track of his debut album, "A Century Ends".

Best of the Best.......2007-04-03

I used to have a mixtape of my favorite David Gray songs -- my "Best of." This CD is nearly an identical mix of that tape. These are the best of the early years. They are the best of David Gray. Usually, on a "Best of" compilation, there are always a few question marks in the eyes of fans that already have all the songs, but this one doesn't have any. One flawless CD.

On their second full-length recording, Australian retro-rockers Jet show they've got more tricks up their sleeve (they can, like, write songs and stuff!)--not to mention a bigger and better record collection--than most of their garage rock peers. Shine On displays swaggering but intelligent boogie rock à la Humble Pie, an ability to tear the roof off like their countrymen AC/DC, and Americana-thieving swagger rock that brings to mind the Rolling Stones. They do this rather unpretentiously; they are not pretending that anything they're doing is revolutionary or "new" in the slightest. The song titles themselves all have a ring of deja vu to them: "Bring It on Back," "Shine On, "Rip It Up," "Stand Up." Heard it all before? You bet. The thing is, every once in a while a rock band plugs into the Platonic ideal of rock & roll and actually gets it all totally right. Jet does this, and it makes them sound almost as original and exciting as the people they're stealing from. --Mike McGonigal

Album Description

Shine On not only fills a void for hungry rock fans but sets the bar for what today's rock bands can aspire to be. Jet flawlessly brings together classic rock influences with a modern rock edge.

Customer Reviews:

Second Album Shine On is a Charm by JET.......2007-07-17

This album is a great second album, really surpassing their first album, Get Born, in consistency. Yes, it is retro, it is fashionable, it is likeable and really, quite lovable. This album ROCKS and will quickly become a timeless classic album of rock ages. You can feel all the influences of the Beatles, Stones, and all those great bands from the 60's-70's. And yet, quite current and refreshing from this young Aussie Band. An album you will not tire of listening to. Really.

70's revisited.......2007-06-20

Jet remains the most successful 70's revivalist bands (Wolfmother is another up-and-comer) with bluesy guitars playing over huge, bombastic drums.

I didn't find this as immediately enjoyable as the debut, but it's not bad.

More Cowbell.......2007-04-23

Power chords, a backbeat so strong white boys can dance.
All that is missing is the cowbell.

Solid as rock.......2007-04-06

If you liked Get Born, its near impossible not to like Shine On. Jet doesn't take to many risks on this cd and keeps if safe, sticking to their retro rock style. This album is a little softer than their debut, and the soft ones shine bright, Shine On and Kings Horses are brilliant. Overall Shine On is pretty solid, but it feels as though it's missing something, some sort of progression or evolution maybe? But then again it just wouldn't be Jet.
Key tracks: Stand Up, Rip It Up, Holiday, Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, Kings Horses, Come On Come On, and Shine On

What a great album from a some first-rate songwriters. My son turned me on to this group and I've got them going round and round and round in my car, my computer, the home stereo, the iPod.

Customer Reviews:

Not a Bad Song on This Album.......2007-07-14

I bought this album back in, well, I don't remember when, but it was a very long time ago. Since it was vinyl, it has been sitting in a box in my closet for the better part of 30 years.

I have wanted to listen to it on numerous occasions since then. Unfortunately everything, including my music, is now on CD and "It'll Shine" was not available on CD. In order to listen to it, I would have had to pull out my old turntable, find a place to put the turntable in my current audio system, and hook it up. A real pain in the arse. So, the album stayed where it was, in the closet.

As soon as I saw "It'll Shine When It Shines" was available on CD, I bought it. Oh, the joy!! Nearly brought tears to my eyes. By the end of the first song, "You Made it Right", I was back in full Daredevil mode. "Jackie Blue", arguably their most recoginizable commercial hit, was as pure and purty as ever. Such memories!

If you like you country with a pinch of Bluegrass, a helpin of folk, and a big dollip of rock, you can't go wrong with this album. If I could give it 10 stars I would!

Great CD Reissue From An Underrated Band.......2007-07-03

IT'LL SHINE WHEN IT SHINES is a great CD reissue of a 1974 album by Missouri's Ozark Mountain Daredevils, a Southern rock band who weren't quite in the same league as the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, or the Outlaws, but who was? These guys were, nevertheless, still a great band with a unique sense of humor, and, as on the predecessor and the followup, most of the songs here feature lots of harmonica and guitar (ironically, only the big hit, "Jackie Blue", doesn't). It's great that this album has been reissued, as this band were among the worst-served by their record company. But I guess that when you support stern justice in a high profile kidnapping case (as these guys did regarding the Elizabeth Smart case), everybody's desperate to reissue your out-of-print albums on CD. If you get this CD, the self-titled debut, and THE CAR OVER THE LAKE ALBUM, you'll have everything you need by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils.

The Ozark's, 'It'll Shine When It Shines'.......2006-03-04

This is the Ozark's brilliant 2nd album. The playing and muscianship is second to none with perfect timing. The harmonies of the group are up there with CSN&Y. For me there is only one song which I am a bit complacent about and that is Jackie Blue. It is the more populist of all the songs and at the time got a lot of air play on radio which probably explains my lack of enthusiasm for it. All the other tracks are unique and faultless. If you love this brand of country rock which is infused with bluegrass and roots derivitives, then you have to add this to your collection.

Great 70s Sound.......2005-09-30

After listening to this CD, I felt like I was a teenager again. The music is still good today. I loaned it to some younger friends who enjoyed it also.

Keep on Shining.......2003-12-24

The ozarks remain one of country rocks best kept secrets. Although the New Musical Express here in the UK described them as 'One of the finest bands of the '70's in any field' they are not well known - but they should be.

Hailing from Springfield, Missouri the band are amongst the most eclectic in rock, almost every band member wrote material, sang and played an array of instruments. Their harmonies certainly equalled the Eagles, and their sound incompassed 'down at home' bluegrass, FM rock, melodic folk country, but also more experimental arrangements such as 'Colorado Song' on their debut release.

'It'll shine' is the ozarks second offering and it's great to get it on CD. There was a trend for bands in the early 70's to get back to the country, well the ozarks never really left it recording the material at a pre Civil War farmhouse with Glynn Johns producing.

There is a real joy on this disc, of a band in tune with nature and each other playing to their strengths. Everyone will know Larry Lee's 'Jackie Blue' which was a big hit for the band and is good straight pop rock, but not entirely representative of the rest of the material, although 'Look Away' and 'tidal wave' show the band can rock.

For me it's the lighter and rootsy material that make it. 'You made it right' with its southern gospel feel, 'Lowlands' with its magnificant harmonies and the slightly zany 'EE Lawson' typical of steve Cash's work.

The disc closes with the title track leaving on a sentimental, and uplifting note. This disc is waiting to be discovered by any serious music fan - give it a try.

I really like Raffi win I was a kid a had some on Cossets Tapes and still remember the memories we had! Raffi is the one for kids!

I love this cd!.......2007-01-16

I'm previewing cds from the library before purchasing for my new grandson. I listened to this today, and it's a keeper!

I loved Walk, Walk, Walk - a song about walking to school. The Numbers Rhumba would be a fun song to sing and dance along with your child. All of the songs were easy for adults to listen to, and fun to sing along with. The lyrics are exceptionally sensory - Something in my Shoe, for example. And the words are simple and visual. I highly recommend this cd.

This album is pretty good.......2005-11-15

I listened to this album today in math class at school. My teacher was trying to introduce my classmates to Raffi, and she succeeded.
One thing I did not like about this album is that it has "Wheels on the Bus" on it which causes anxiety. I feel uncomfortable when I listen to that song, so I do not reccomend this album to anybody.

Rise and Shine.......2004-08-04

My boys are 14 and 18 and they were reminiscing about all of the Raffi tapes we had; Rise and Shine, Everything Grows, Singable Songs for the Very Young, More Singable Songs for the Very Young...and all of the others. For years, Raffi was the only music that played in our car. Today, the boys still remember the words to to songs...what a nice memory. We still have the tapes and I hope to share them with my grandchildren some day. I have to say that Raffi is one of their best childhood memories.

Wonderful, but not my first choice.......2007-04-07

I believe this was the first recording of Elijah in English that used an "international" conductor and some international singers. Fruhbeck gives a good, dramatic sweep to the piece, with some wonderful dramatic moments. This is an old fashioned performance, with only a solo quartet, and if there is a semi-chorus, I can't tell the difference. This means that the soprano is the Widow, and an Angel, the mezzo the Angel and Queen Jezabel, etc. You really should have a libretto, but you don't get one at this price.
Fischer-Dieskau roughens up his voice for the role, and therein lies a problem. The voice spreads and his diction suffers because of it; that and his unidiomatic pronounciation, with far too many rolled "r"s. He does the drama well, but what works well in lieder works here less well on the large scale. Odd, given his success as on opera singer (check out his Iago), that here he frequently comes off blustery.
Dame Gwyneth Jones belies her reputation and gives a contolled, dramatic performance, using her "edge" to advantage in "Hear Ye, Israel". Gedda's diction is amazing, with exactly the right color for this literature, and projecting a little more blood than an English tenor.
Dame Janet Baker is my star in this performance. Dramatic, heart-rending when need be, and in wonderful voice. She'll chill your blood when she tells the people of Baal to "slaughter him, do what he hath done!".
And as for the people of Baal, the Philharmonia Chorus is wonderful. Incisive and dramatic, with beautiful tone. I could do without the trick of the boy choir for "Lift Thine Eyes", and I miss the small ensembles, but all in all a fine performance, and good recording, circa 1968.
First choice in English, Daniels/Terfel: better Elijah in Terfel, better recording, more authentic orchestra, small vocal ensembles (as per the score) but inferior women (including Fleming: beautiful tone, but where's her head?). In German, it's Sawallisch/Adam all the way.
But if you're singing Elijah, and have a score, this is a good choice.

THE BEST recording of the BEST oratorio ever..........2006-08-15

Okay, I'm gonna admit I'm biased- I first sung in the chorus of Elijah when I was 14 and it made a BIG impression on me!
This recording is in every way wonderful. Starting with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. He IS Elijah to me. His singing is perfection. He has amazing phrasing and his diction makes it possible to understand the lovely, inspired libretto to this heavenly music. There are so many pieces that are ephemeral, but a couple of my favorites are: #14, Lord God of Abraham and #37, For the Mountains shall Depart. Dieskau does a great job of what I think of as compassionate, heartfelt singing. His interpretation sounds like the voice of God himself. It has a quality of kindness and yet he sounds just as convincing reprimanding the people of Baal. He is the true highlight of this recording.

That said, the rest of the cast is wonderful as well. Gwyneth Jones has a lovely, silvery voice that has a clarion bell-like tone that rings over the large orchestra with ease. She has occasional "misfire" but is a consistent performer. Dame Janet Baker and Nicolai Gedda both perform at a consistently lovely level. The orchestra and chorus are both wonderful. #15, Cast thy Burden upon the Lord, #32 He that Shall Endure to the End, and #38 Then Did Elijah are all highlights.

All said, for me the main reason to get this recording is Dieskau's Elijah- after all, he's the main character. But don't forget the lovely music. This story is exciting and passionate and sacred all at the same time. For me, it's the best oratorio that has a moving story and great music too.

Too bad there are so few recordings of Elijah.......2006-07-03

This is a good recording of an oratorio that deserves more attention. The chorus and soloists are very good--I just wish Fischer-Diskau wouldn't slide around so much in singing the title part!

Amazon.com's Best of 1999

Harper's soulful musical mix continues to defy genre categorization and his growth as an artist continues to amaze. Burn to Shine is his most ambitious work to date, tapping a multitude of styles and moods and revolving as usual around his incredibly expressive vocals and searing guitar work. --Marc Greilsamer

Amazon.com essential recording

Ben Harper's musical eclecticism has been well established, but what often goes unnoticed is that few musicians possess such an expansive emotional range. And those complex, unsettled emotions never seem to come one at a time; instead, they are layers to be peeled and reassembled. When the mood is ominous, you still sense an urgent hopefulness around the bend, and even on a jaunty Dixieland number like "Suzie Blue," with its playful trombone and clarinet, you can see the clouds on the horizon. The tension may not always be overt, but it's never lower than just below the surface. Angry, aggressive metal rants; bruising, bombastic, operatic rockers; lighthearted Caribbean grooves; strutting Southern boogie; deep country soul; and delicate acoustic folk play out like scenes within a Byzantine film. Harper's soulful moans, agonized groans, and earth-shaking whispers narrate this battle between shadows and light, and his sonic war zone is as dynamic, detailed, and diverse as it's ever been. As weighty as but more personal than its three predecessors, Burn to Shine has the sensation of grandeur that seems to accompany all of Harper's work, but it's more than a delusion. --Marc Greilsamer

A combination of blues, jazz and hard rock.......2006-08-17

I love Ben Harper and this has to be his most creative CD yet. You can find Bens classc acoustic sound to high gain slide guitar to the delta blues and even some jazz. It is one of my favorites now.

Burn to Shine is a fantastic all purpose album....(4.5 stars).......2005-10-18

Most of us in our mid-20's went through that Ben Harper phase around 2000 when he started touring campuses around the nation and the buzz built. Some of his other albums have come and gone but Burn To Shine is his masterpiece that will forever endure. It's his most even album and I still listen to it semi-regularly 5 years later.

Harper's music is guitar driven poetry. It's mellow with the occasional upbeat tempo thrown in to liven things up. There are many immitators out there but I think what separates Ben from the rest is the raw emotion he emits not just from his angelic voice, but also from his ingenious guitar. At times subtle, at times barraging, he wears his heart on his sleeve through every song.

The great thing about this album is that it can stand alone with a glass of wine or can be great in a background setting. It's not overpowering (except perhaps the best song - Please Bleed) and I often read or do work with this on in the background.

Bottom Line: Great for all music lovers. Appropriate for all ages. For the younger crowd looking for some music they might have missed out on....this is disc you must have for your collection.

Rockin.......2005-03-09

I had heard "Steal Your Kisses" on the radio and fiogured I'd see what the whole album sounded like. I am not disappointed. What a great artist. You can really feel the emotion in his music.

Magnificent Masterpiece For All.......2005-02-07

Working on a college radio broadcasting team - we continually obsessed with playing the song "Always Have To Steal My Kisses" on a regular basis - as it's upbeat gutair sequence and drum kicks mix perfectly for a sort of southern type sound, with pop written all over it, always put us in a good mood.
Thinking it not be the style of my more hard-rocking mates I was suprised to look into their CD case and see a giant collection of Harper CD's. This intreged me to buy "Burn To Shine"

As soon as I flipped it into the CD player I was already impressed with the army-like drumming to introduce the first song "Alone" a song that I immediately fell in love with. The song sounding a bit more sinister and darker than the rest of the album, a good kick start.
Following this album was the almost Hendrix-type-soul, "The Woman In You" this song is tremendously laced with Harpers voice and strong lyrics.
Just a few tracks away stands the best track of the album "Two Hands of A Prayer" 7 minutes and 50 seconds of pure brilliance of a song - this is what a song is all about.
Other strong points along the album are "Suzie Blue" which inspires from a jazz-blues type area, and the awesome track "Forgiven" which is probably the easiest song on the ears as far as the lyrics are decent - and the rock of the song will keep you listening.
Track 11 and 12 is a strong way to finish too - "Beloved One" is a piano, and violin backed song that I listened to probably eight times continually when I first really got into it - and continually do now - on a regular basis.
And "In The Lords Arms" is Harper all over, easy voice and decent lyrics.
Apart from some - B Grade songs such as "Less" and perhaps "Please Bleed" (although I wont skip the track) the album is top notch all the way, Ben Harper as a music writer - covering almost every style possible (and making each style seem like it's his front style) and The Innocent Criminals have put together another masterpiece - this probably being his best in my opinion.

Get A Hold of it. Don't miss out......

Burned and Shines!.......2004-10-08

It gets tiring hearing the same bands who play the same songs over and over again 12 times and call it an album. This Album is the exact oposite. It provides proof that you can always distill the essence of Rock and Roll down to a solitary man alone with his guitar and concience. It is inventive, yet firmly rooted in the blues-rock singer/songwriter/guitarist tradition.

Ben's music taps into the soudns and souls of musicians that have lived before him and explodes histories of oppression, love and courage. Harper's music enables me to listen to something

Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

Eight releases, 14 No. 1 radio hits, top reputation as a live act--not bad work if you can get it. That's what the Newsboys have accomplished in 14 years, and the scope and breadth of their success is documented well on this 17-track hits collection. In songs like "Shine," "Take Me to Your Leader," "Spirit Thing," and "Step Up to the Microphone," the Newsboys magically melded a modern pop beat with a strong, spirit-filled message. The end results were endearing radio hits that sounded fresh, vibrant, and nonapologetic for their religious zeal. And that explains why these lads from Australia garner such a buzz in the Christian pop world. The Newsboys never met a pop hook they didn't like, a fact all too apparent when listening to this collection. But they do it so well. Longtime Newsboys fans will appreciate the remake of "God Is Not a Secret," featuring a blistering rap from DC Talk's Toby McKeehan. Three new tracks--"Joy," "Praises," and "Who?"--give listeners a hint of what's to come. --Michael Lyttle

What a mix this is for the Newsboys!

I got all my favorite songs in one CD. Captain Crunch (Breakfast), Shine...Wooyoo!

It is a delight to just spin their hits!

Better than caffene to wake you up!!!!!.......2007-02-10

These guys are great: full of fun, full of faith, full of great music. In trying to keep up with my son's love of contemporary Christian music, I fell in love with the style of the "Newsboys" and bought this album. Yeah, their music is quirky and loud, but I'm not dead yet, so I like to have fun with my "tunes." This is soooo NOT "Rock of Ages," but soooo honors Jesus! It's guaranteed to get you smiling, tapping your feet, and banging your head in praise of God. And these are only some of the Newsboy's hits! Look around, there's a new album out called "GO" with the best song yet.

Shine.......2006-12-01

The Newsboys have got to be the BEST music group in the world. Phill (one of the Newsboys)has such a high vocie that in Blessed be your name I did not relize the high voice was Rebeca Saint James. Almost all the Newsboys come from austraila, but they are a whole bunch of different people God put on earth the give him glory and spread the good news.

Great Newsboys collection.......2006-11-19

I allways love newsboys but and the only reason why I did not give this CD five stars the collection fell a little short becasue it did not have any of their songs from love, liberty disco (this CD came out in 1999 the newsboys greatest hits came out in 2000). There were good songs on the love,liberty disco CD for example Beautiful sound or the self title song love,liberty disco. I had to make my own best of news boys cd to have these songs inclued.

Perfect Introduction to a Top Christian Band.......2006-11-04

The Newsboys have been one of the top Christian artists in the last 10 years. A greatest hits collection should serve as a thorough introduction to what a band is all about, and this collection does this as well as any you will hear. Their early work is represented as well, but wisely this album focuses on their best three albums, 1995's "Going Public", 1996's "Take Me To Your Leader" and 1998's "Step Up To The Microphone". If you have heard a song or two of the Newsboys and want to know more about their sound, this collection is an outstanding way to start. The Newsboys' lyrics and topics have always been trendy, clever and challenging - particularly the super-cool "Reality" - and they carry a message everyone needs to hear.
