    Editorial Reviews
    Amazon.com essential recording
    Pianist Jim Brickman would like you to picture a world that is prettier, more contented, and more emotionally in-tune than the world you probably see through your windshield each day. It may be just wishful thinking, but Brickman's music indulges in the dream anyway, and those inclined to share in the momentary journey will find it is a lovely, often romantic ride. The Cleveland-born pianist understands his strengths and sticks close to the white keys in this very inviting 13-track collection. Brickman specializes in crafting pop-influenced melodies that, to his credit, aim for the heartstrings through intelligence and subdued elegance rather than schmaltz. The album's most circulated cut is its lone vocal selection, the soft-pop hit "Valentine," sung by Martina McBride, but all 12 instrumentals are individual jewels of understated beauty. "Secret Love," for example, opens with sparkling, hopeful passages, followed by the hesitancy and uncertainty of a muted cello, resolved by a flood of expressive flourishes that beautifully convey pent-up romantic release. Even his reworking of "Frère Jacques" suggests a thoughtfulness that can make listeners rethink the tune themselves. A great choice for clear-eyed romantics. --Terry Wood

    Here's another one of Jim's cd that I found to be equally and beautiful and the next cd I bought. It's an awesome cd. I saw him in concert in Houston Feb. 13 '07

    He has magical fingers when playing his music.

    I love the cds I got from you! They shipped fast and they looked nice, They also sounded great. I am a piano music lover and I thought those cds were great! Thank you very much. A++

    5 out of 5 stars my favorite JB cd of all time..........2006-10-04

    by far, Picture This, is my favorite cd from the JB collection...have three copies...one for the home, one for the car, and another he personally signed for me at one of his concerts! Been a fan of his since he appeared on tv talk show back in late 1997...despite our daily hectic schedules, his music always brings us back to a place that is calm, relaxing & peaceful...now that we have small children, they are even accustomed to listening his music, which makes bedtime even sweeter! :)

    5 out of 5 stars very calming cd.......2004-10-20

    This is a very pretty cd. The songs are uncomplicated and easy to listen to. A nice way to unwind at the end of the day! As far as more enticing, illusionary music, I tend to prefer Living the Drama, by Kendell Healy. Also enjoyable after a long day, it evokes more passion. If you like brickman, check out www.kendellhealy.com You'll really love this, too. May the classical hits keep coming!

    3 out of 5 stars Missing the 'tude of earlier records.......2004-07-02

    Neophyte Brickman's effort is admirable on this outing, but where in the world is the Rolling Stones'-like swagger and 'tude of earlier records?? Cuz it sure as hell ain't here!! Talented Brickman shines bright on a few memorable tracks on "Picture This," but the album lacks the Guns 'n Roses'-type grit of his earlier chart-topping efforts. Please don't misunderstand: A few key tracks on "Picture This" are guaranteed to get ya slam-dancin' on a Saturday night, but the record leaves behind the Brickman cockiness so prevalent on earlier projects.

    Well, hang in there, Brickman fans, for I think this piano metal-head might just have a few restless tricks up his sleeve yet. Word on the streets is that Brickman is gearing up for a HOT summer tour with his fellow rehab buddies in Velvet Revolver. Stay tuned for more...

    BRICKMAN SHINES YET AGAIN!!!!

    4 out of 5 stars Sports preview from Huey Lewis and News........2006-02-10

    Huey Lewis and the News' sophomore album, the self-produced Picture This (1982) was a warmup for the colossal explosion that would become Sports. While not as polished as Sports, Picture This does feature HL&N's trademark 80's rock fused with soul and doowop stylings, not to mention their appealing falsetto harmony vocals and some downright fiery guitar from lead guitarist Chris Hayes, and snappy Jazzlexikon : Deutsche Books

    ringtone88.com ood, musically very similar to the first track, so it may be skip material for some. "Po Pimp" is the first of two classics on this album, an absolute banger. The beat is excellent, with upbeat bass and cymbals, and a dark kind of sound, perfect for the car. The chorus is excellent, and fellow quick-lipped Chi-Town rapper Twista makes a great appearance. "Kill or Be Killed" is pretty forgettable, but it is followed by the second classic, "Paperchase." It has the best beat on the album, laced with a droopy guitar and synths. The quartet (aided again by Twista) sings the chorus excellently, and the lyrics are encouraging and kind of sad, I just love this song. "Playa Like Me" has is a good song overall, the only thing I don't like about it is that if you listen, you'll notice that the chorus and most of the verses are lyrically almost identical to "Po Pimp"'s. "Promise" is a tough sounding track, but not too memorable, and "6 Million" is a little better, the singing on the chorus of the latter is really nice. "Search Warrant" tells some cool stories, and "Anotha One Dead and Gone" is a sad, mourning kind of song. "Money Flow" is standard gangsta-rap fare, but Twista saves it with another appearance.

    "Picture This" is worth a purchase just for "Po Pimp" and "Paperchase," which are two simply awesome songs. While the album is inconsistent and plagued by some filler tracks, it is certainly a solid album. This is the first Do or Die album I have listened to in full, and it leaves me hungry for some more, better albums. Do or Die shows a lot of potential and I think they are capable of making a better album than "Picture This," which I recommend.

    5 out of 5 stars Hardcore, Pimp, Gangsta!!!.......2006-11-20

    The classic debut release from DO OR DIE should please any fan of rap music. While everyone was listening to Bone Thugs, I was pumpin this shh... in the system. No disrespect to Bone's fans, but I honestly feel that these cats are a lot more talented in every way, shape, and form. I don't expect a lot of critics/reviewers to agree, but all should agree that this was a great record from start to finish! Peace

    5 out of 5 stars Kodak Moment.......2005-11-18

    Chicago freshmen, Do Or Die, debut album Picture This is a glimpse of the slow movement tracks with the rapid fire delivery that is accustom to Chi's other artists. Eight of the eleven tracks were produced by The Legendary Traxster which brought the best out of the trio. The beginning and the end or "Alpha And Omega" is a slow gangster groove to begin this LP off and sets the pace for the entire album. On "Shut 'Em Down", it if filled with high paced, intense highs to offset the slow tempo of the track for more dimension. To get a closer look of their lives they ask "...Do you wanna ride in the backseat of a Caddy and chop it up with Do Or Die?" on "Po Pimp" featuring Tung Twista & Johnny P. They take it back to the streets with gun slinging on "Kill Or Be Killed" featuring Psycho Drama. For a more commercial feel and keeping the same tempo as the rest, "Paperchase" featuring Tung Twista fits well with the formula as did "Money Flow" with the "Computer Love" sample. D.O.D. takes us back on a ride as they take a smoke on "Playa Like Me And You" featuring Johnny P. "Promise" is a tale of a point blank murder and how it's done. Speeding up only slightly on tempos, "6 Million" is only one example of a way to die. They also talk about a raid without a "Search Warrant" and how they got out of a jam. Belo, Nard and AK-47 have a good flow for your interest, especially if you're into Twista, Crucial Conflict, Psycho Drama and Triple Darkness. This album almost fail because of diversity, this is only rider music with slight variations. The whole ride of Picture This is in the backseat of the Cadillac.

    ringtone88.com liar melodies composed by New Age-related artists, arrange them for a 60-member orchestra, then hope something special happens. Alas, nothing much does. This installment from John Tesh's music factory is a decent, well-intentioned effort that may find fans among listeners drawn to symphonic renditions of pop music. Yet for anyone who holds dear the compositions addressed on Pure Orchestra (Enya's "Book of Days," Jim Brickman's "Picture This," "Marching Season" by Yanni, and so on), these lightweight, soundtrack-like interpretations will probably only make you long to hear the originals. Tesh's role here is only as a producer, not a performer, though he does include two original, though uneventful, pieces of his own ("Song for Jennifer" and "Blue"). Kenny G's "Havana" sounds as though its re-creation was being handled by 101 Strings. Meanwhile, the interpretations of two Yanni tracks pale compared to what can be found on Live at the Acropolis, and truly affecting solo pieces such as Brickman's "Angel Eyes" and "Longing/Love" by George Winston gain nothing by orchestral treatment. Sometimes it's better to leave well enough alone. --Terry Wood

    Lose yourself in a dynamic swirl of strings, horns and percussion as performed by a 60-piece Symphony Orchestra! Powerful melodies transform 13 memorable songs from the world's most popular new age composers into fully orchestrated, symphonic

    4 out of 5 stars Like taking a scented bath in sheer symphonic sound..........2004-12-09

    This album comes in handy when you want to take a break from all those Mancini, Bacharach, John williams etc. reissues. The program is drawn from compositions of top New Age artists all arranged for a sixty piece orchestra. The arrangements are quite weighty for the most part with a lot of bravado during the big moments. Strings breeze from speaker to speaker, with glissening brass and horns throughout. Yanni, Chip Davis, and Tesh himself have all used orchestras extensively. Keep in mind
    John Tesh does not perform on the album; he produces and had a hand in choosing the selections. One does not have to be a New Age fan to enjoy this disc; in fact I was not even familiar with most the compositions. When your in the mood for a semiclassical atmosphere this will fit the bill. Add a star if you think this album will inspire you to pursue more on the original artists.

    5 out of 5 stars Pure Orchestra.......2004-08-11

    I loved it! I enjoyed every piece on the album. I have played it several times and have enjoyed just as much each time. I bought a copy for my Sister & Brother-in-law.

    If you are looking for some powerful and great new age music, and who is, this disc is not for you. i feel like i should be crossing a finish line in the olympics every time i hear tesh. to call the music corny would be the greatest compliment, and accomplishment for tesh to this day. much worse words are needed to truely describe the music of the infamous, john tesh. now, if you dont take my word, and you actually go through with the purchase of this cd, please, please, make sure your running shoes are laced, be sure to have plenty of water and run that mile. make sure there is something for you to run through at the end of the mile, and time it so a big orchestra stab hits at that moment. well, i dont care for tesh, but i am looking very much forward to the day when tesh, hasselhoff, kevin bacon, keanu reeves (sp) & william shatner all join forces to create a monster, star-laden group, that all sorts of people will buy, even though it truely smells of week old britches that have been soiled and sitting in the sun.

    3 out of 5 stars Did not reach its fullest potential.......2003-01-04

    I hate to be the only partly dissenting review so far (taking a deep breath), but here goes:

    This is a wonderful album in concept, but earns about a C+ in execution. The song selection is wonderful - truly some of the best melodies from the modern "new age" genre. (I agree with John Tesh in his liner notes: "...'new age' music never really gets much respect as a musical genre. It's a shame, because I believe these melodies to be strong and vital.") Unfortunately, this album may not advance the "new age" genre's reputation as he (or I) had hoped.

    It is vital to note that John Tesh didn't do the arranging or orchestrating on this album. One can almost immediately hear it doesn't have his trademark lush, full sounds. Arranger, orchestrater, and conductor J. Eric Schmidt didn't take full advantage of his source material. Most of his arrangements sound thin, especially considering the intent was to fill-out the songs with a 60 piece orchestra. Almost every piece sounds rushed and too staccato. There's no hallmark fermatta-type chords one can hang on to and truly luxuriate in.

    Though I do enjoy a few pieces on this album, the tracks I'm most disappointed in are the songs with which I'm most familiar. A couple of examples: Jim Brickman's "Angel Eyes", normally a very pensive and peaceful piece, is so fast it sounds like the conductor just couldn't wait to get out of the studio. Enya's "Book of Days" starts out impressively, but again, there's an underlying rushed feeling and Schmidt changes some of the original chords in the chorus that sound like either lazy arranging or mistakes.
