Without You

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
From the first moment when Alizadeh's lute gently breaks the surrounding silence, Masters of Persian Music holds you spellbound. Four top virtuosi, including a father and son, take Iran's ancient musical forms and turn them into a timelessly compelling entertainment. The first thing that strikes you about this music is how spare it is: voice, lute, fiddle, and drum are rarely all heard simultaneously; each takes its turn in the spotlight to improvise with economical deliberation. You may also be struck by the way each instrument shadows the others--with the voice merely first among equals--picking up the same melodic phrases, and repeating them higher or lower. And you will become aware of the richness of nuance woven into every note; this expressiveness lies at the core of Persian classical music. Its alternating high-and-low, question-and-answer phrases are often described as "aloud and silent"--a paradox that nicely reflects its mystical religious roots. Transmission of this art has always been from master to pupil, "from chest to chest," as Iranian musicians say. Kayhan Kalhor learned his art in the dark days when his instrument was regarded as hopelessly passé. His tenacity is now reaping well-deserved rewards. --Michael Church

This U.K. three-piece's self-titled debut often got compared to Smashing Pumpkins and Rush--Smashing Pumpkins for its unashamed mid-'70s prog-rock allusions and Rush because of singer Brian Molko's unusually high-pitched, almost androgynous voice. In reality, Placebo were far more salacious, downright dirty, and culturally confusing than either. (The band is a mix of American, Swedish, and English, with some Lebanese and Luxembourgian thrown in.) For their second album, Placebo have looked to the late '70s for inspiration, to the sound of early New Order and the Banshees--with a dash of the '90s thrown in: "Brick Shithouse," for example, starts like the most balls-out Prodigy song. If their debut was the sound of a no-holds-barred sexual drug frenzy lasting way into the next day, then Without You I'm Nothing is the resultant rumpled, libidinous comedown. As such, it's much classier, cerebral and great to listen to when hung-over. "I'm unclean / A libertine / And every time you vent your spleen / I seem to lose my power of speech," Molko breathes on the awesomely overcharged title track. In a year when Marilyn Manson and Bauhaus continue to revitalize the goth movement across America, Placebo's moment may well have arrived. --Everett True

5 out of 5 stars I love this CD.......2007-05-25

I think I just love Placebo. You have to love his voice to buy any of there cd's. Anyone who likes Placebo's "controversial" lyrics, should look up some of their interviews. Very interesting people.

5 out of 5 stars BEST PLACEBO ALBUM SO FAR!!!.......2007-01-12

This is my favorite Placebo album to date. I have all of their albums, including Meds, but I am still pulled toward this one. Probably because it's more melancholy and still not too poppy.

5 out of 5 stars A forgotten masterpiece?.......2006-06-12

I was surprised that when this album came out it was given roughly 6 out of 10 in most reviews. On 'Without You I'm Nothing' Molko manages to sustain a mood of decadent melancholy throughout. He is often derided as an androgynous pretender who is acting out rock 'n' roll cliches, but on this album he genuinely came across to me as a man who is irresistably drawn to pushing the boundaries of experience. When an obsessive fan leaves death threats on his answerphone he seems to embrace this darkness by interspersing snippets from the message on the secret track. He doesn't just revel in debauchery he accounts its brutal consequences and their myriad intricacies in evocative detail, and here more than at any other point in his career. Although I've heard the criticism that he seems to wallow in the sound of words and not their content I think this is all part of a holistic transission of experience to the listener. I think this Placebo's masterpiece, a sordid trawl through the underbelly not just of rock 'n' roll but of modern relationships. He perfectly articuates the uncertainty of a decaying relationship, of the bond betwen two people that surpasses experience, of the clammy hold one person can have over another, of the thrilling divide between a decadent relatonship and the consequent loneliness that comes with its fulfillment in a way I've not heard before or since. I've focused upon the lyrical content but the band's performance also manages to teeter between glorious abandon and tasteful restraint in a way that supplies the perfect backdrop. The artwork is haunting, the production is immaculate and the recrod managed to be commercial enough to spawn three hits. Theres more to this band than misunderstood teenagers and misplaced angst. Honest!

5 out of 5 stars Without this Album, You're Nothing.......2006-05-06

I should have written this a long time ago. I saw Placebo in London in 2001 and was immediately hooked. They were so much different than the American bands that I was listening to at the time (Tool, Rage, etc.). The band produced seering pop rock that just flowed through the throng of sweaty people at the show. So after that, I went out and bought the album. Pure Morning may be one of the catchiest songs ever written. Once you hear it, it sticks in your brain for days and is nearly impossible to dislodge. Not to be overshadowed are great tracks like Every Me, Every You and You Don't Care about us. These songs crackle with electricity and are great to listen to anytime, but for me, especially when driving. But the highlight to the album has got to be the title track. Very emotional and strong. I recomend this album to anyone who's gotten stuck in a rut with today's mainstream music.

5 out of 5 stars Okay, I'm POSSESSED. It's the only thing I want to listen to........2005-12-27

I am huge Brit Pop whore and have been since I was thirteen. That being said, Placebo really doesn't have much in common with the 90s Brit Pop greats like Pulp, The Stone Roses, Blur or Suede which all have a sort of vague interlocking thread. I'm not even sure why I like "I'm Nothing Without You" so much: it's not my kind of music. I remember when "Pure Morning" was a single, and I didn't think anything of it at the time. All I know now is that I can't wait to get home from work so I can listen to this album. One moment it has me jumping up and down like lunatic, and next I'm pratically weeping. And I LOVE Brian Molko's voice.

So I'd thank all the Amazon Placebo reviewers who convinced me I should give this album a go. You all were right.

And for the record, Placebo does not sound like Smashing Pumpkins (the kind of music I do hate). Buy buy buy.

2 out of 5 stars Too busy.......2006-07-14

I was hoping for more music - there's just too much storytelling for my and my kids' taste. We love the Beethoven's Wig series and were hoping this would be similar.

5 out of 5 stars good product and fast service.......2005-09-11

Product arrived in ample time overseas and was pleased with quality of product!

5 out of 5 stars what a road trip.......2005-02-21

i bought this item after reading some of the reviews on amazon for my nephews who are 2 and 4 years of age. two months after christmas their mom was explaining how they request the cd everytime they are in the car. she groaned when i was in the car and they boys wanted to show me how much they liked the cd. during the trip i witnessed a mother humming along to the music with her children, the boys singing to excerpts, and an overall execptional learning experience about music, culture, and history. if you are looking for something that all children will like, passes the time on a road trip, and teaches important lessons about life without being pretentious then get this cd, it is a guaranteed crowd pleaser.

5 out of 5 stars Mesmerized and moved mom to tears.......2005-01-26

This CD is awesome, the music great, the story captivating. But it's Mozart, you already know about the music. Other reviewers have already discussed the story and I agree with their assessments that it's very good. The reason for this review is to say that my very active, never stopping, constantly in motion 5 year old SAT DOWN AND LISTENED without fidgeting or fiddling for a full 20 minutes and then sat but fiddled for the remainder of the CD. Maybe this is not a big deal to moms of "normal" energy level children -- but this simple act of being still for 20 minutes moved me to tears. I said nothing before putting the CD in, I just put it in while he was doing his running around. Within seconds of hearing the story start he sat down on the floor, crossed his legs, and listened while looking at the speakers. I have never seen this behavior from my child before, ever. Please note that this is a child who is not ADD, he just cannot be still. He listens to hundreds of hours of stories we read to him -- while he's doing something else. He "watches" videos -- while he's doing something else. He reads, while clapping or tapping out the beat of the syllables. I cannot remember my child ever stopping what he was doing to JUST LISTEN. When it was over he said, "That was a cool story," and got up to run around. That was it, but that's high praise from this child. To see my child sitting still for a full 20 minutes, you cannot begin to imagine my awe. I am running right out to get the rest of the series! Bravo to the producers!

    On paper, trumpeter Chris Botti is another smooth jazz heartthrob, a seasoned session veteran stepping out with his own mix of romantic instrumental pop. But Botti brings more care and nuance to his work than that faux category implies, and this seductive collection underlines his deeper intent in its smoky title song, a collaboration with Paul Buchanan's Scottish neo-pop band, The Blue Nile, that is sufficient excuse for entry: Buchanan's fevered yet restrained vocals answer Botti's cool, Miles-wide horn lines in a classic late-night reverie that is the set's standout, but Botti's own wordless pieces sustain the album's suave, finely crafted mood. Sam Sutherland

    Spontaneously had more to say after his "First Wish", and specifies the ambient he is thinking of: at midnight, quietness and warmness to sense with the loved person...

    5 out of 5 stars "Midnight Without You".......2005-11-27

    This is one of Chris Botti's most remarkable recordings along with "To Love Again," "When I Fall In Love" and "A Thousand Kisses Deep." Mr. Botti is one of the finest jazz musicians America ever produced and he's not only a terrific trumpet player but also a talented composer as well. This recording showcases his creative musical sensibility not only for being an expert on trumpet but also his talent in composing beautiful melodies. On this CD, he composed all the delightful tunes for our listening pleasure. My friends and I will have the pleasure to be at his concert and watch him perform live with his special guests; Sting, Paula Cole, Gladys Knight, Jill Scott, Paul Buchanan, Renee Olstead and Burt Bacharach this coming Friday, December 2nd at the Wilshire Theatre.

    You'll love listening to all the great tracks in this wonderful CD, which is a perfect companion for relaxation, for driving and background music for cocktail and dinner parties. To me, the most ear-catching tunes are "Regroovable," "When Rain Falls" and the title track "Midnight Without You" with Paul Buchanan presenting his vocal artistry.

    Very highly recommended not only for smooth jazz lovers but also for every one who appreciates fine music and outstanding artists.

    4 out of 5 stars Mr. Mood.......2005-02-28

    Chris Botti's "Midnight Without You" is an elegant moody set that wears well since its 1997 release. "Regroovable" with its perky beat and Botti's insistently cheerful horn sliding over Shawn Pelton's drums is the most instantly accessible. "Until Now" also offers a similar midtempo setting, albeit a bit more in moody territory that offers a pretty Botti melody and keyboard atmospherics. The opener "The Steps of Positano" is dark & moody with a lovely melody. Jonatha Brooke's vocals on "Forgiven" also shimmer and interplay wonderfully with Botti's trumpet, "These are the chances we take, the reasons that we can't explain, follow your heart everyday & pray to be forgiven." "Midnight Without You" is a consistently satisfying set from this excellent master of the trumpet and mood. Enjoy!

    5 out of 5 stars The Best of Mr. Botti.......2002-07-06

    I have several of Chris Botti's CDs. This is the best, in my opinion. Magical playing by Chris, and wonderful vocals by Paul Buchanan and Jonatha Brooke. This CD has a lovely melancholy that washes over you like a soothing blanket.

    5 out of 5 stars 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.

    5 out of 5 stars 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.

    5 out of 5 stars 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.

    5 out of 5 stars 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

    5 out of 5 stars 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

    Thematically, director Robert Altman's career sometimes seems an endless series of left turns into the unexpected; the one constant has been a rich and rewarding attention to the intricacies of character development and interaction. Composer Patrick Doyle underscores Gosford Park's Merchant-Ivory/Agatha Christie/Altman-wit fusion and '30s British upper-class setting with a score that's period spot-on, character-rich, and often sadly evocative. Doyle's restraint is masterful, often leaning on piano, accordion, and small string arrangements that emphasize the characters' intimacies and the film's drawing room settings. Key to the story are a handful of prewar songs by Ivor Novello (who's also a character in the film), ranging from the sprightly humor of "And Her Mother Came Too" and "What a Duke Should Be" to the romantic schmaltz of "I Can Give You the Starlight" and "Why Isn't It You?" The latter is performed here at the piano (and, remarkably, live before the cameras) by Jeremy Northam. Leavened by a small jazz ensemble and a few darkly ominous cues, Doyle's score is an understated gem. --Jerry McCulley

    4 out of 5 stars Gosford Park Sound Track.......2007-03-30

    The original music is creative and very listenable. It is typical of popular music of the 1930s. This CD is highly recommended to those people who enjoy music from the 1920s and 1930s.

    5 out of 5 stars Better than the movie.......2004-12-08

    Many people, I believe, buy a soundtrack because they are mesmerized by the movie and want to extend the experience by listening to something that reminds them of it. But "Gosford Park" is hardly that kind of movie. It is brilliant and atmospheric as it analyzes the British class system, but that's hardly the kind of thing that wins the heart. The soundtrack of this movie was my favorite CD from last year, and the reasons I liked it had nothing to do with the movie.

    Why is this music so compelling and winning?

    First, it is fun to discover the marvellous talent of Ivor Norvello. His music is half of the charm of the soundtrack. Some songs are funny ("Her mother came too"), some beautiful ("I can give you the starlight") and some poignant ("The land of might have been"). I had not encountered Norvello before this film. Jeremy Northam's perfect delivery of Norvello's songs would not leave me after I'd seen the film. Days later, I found the songs had taken up residence in the back of my head, insisting that I go back to the soundtrack to make them a permanent part of my musical life.

    Second, there is the charm of the orchestral music composed by Patrick Doyle. Sometimes people wonder "why aren't they writing beautiful classical music any more?" Well, they are. It goes into soundtracks, however, rather than being commissioned by orchestras. The test for the quality of Doyle's compositions is that you don't need to refer to the film to appreciate this music. It simply charms and intrigues us with its own merits.

    My third reason for loving this CD is too personal to mention here.

    I give this CD my highest personal recommendation.

    4 out of 5 stars I don't mind the repeating themes, but the CD is too short!.......2004-06-08

    Unlike many reviewers here, I didn't buy the CD to hear the Ivor Novello songs or Jeremy Northam's voice. I actually liked the instrumental tracks, and never actually thought I'd like to listen to something played on an accordion.

    However, Mr. Doyle's music portrays the lethargy of the snobby Upstairs very well to the contrast of the relative energy of Novello's songs, which the Downstairs servants enjoy, but the Upstairs people can't stand.

    My dislikes about the CD include the female singer who can't really sing and the length of the CD. Some of these cues are only about a minute long. WHY pay so much money for such a short CD??? Why not add more music??

    Overall though, if you liked either Doyle's music or Novello's songs (hopefully the listener will like both), it's a CD worth getting.

    4 out of 5 stars Excellent Mix.......2003-04-23

    I fell in love with this soundtrack when I watched Gosford Park in the cinemas.

    Sometimes period music, sometimes mystery music, sometime personal music. Jeremy Northam's songs are simply delicious and I love hearing them.

    I liken the style (not type) of mix to You've Got Mail.

    Heaps of fun and lovely to listen to.

    5 out of 5 stars One the best soundtracks out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2003-03-06

    When I saw the movie at the theater I kept thinking I've got to have the soundtrack to this movie because it is so beautiful. I also really enjoyed the sung songs 6.And Her Mother Came Too, 10.I Can Give You The Starlight, 11.What A Duke Should Be, 16. Only For A While, 20. The Way It's Meant To Be, 24. The Land That Might-Have-Been!! I think that Patrick Doyle did a wonderful job of scoring this movie the just fits right in with it all, I only wish there was more to listen to!! I highly recommend this album to everyone who liked the movie and people who love great soundtracks, you will not be sorry if you buy this!!!!

    Cy Coleman and David Zippel's City of Angels is a seductive depiction of 1940s Los Angeles, capturing swinging jazz, torchy ballads, witty lyrics, and even a Manhattan Transfer-like Greek chorus (arranged by ManTran guru Yaron Gershovsky). James Naughton and Gregg Edelman star as Stone and Stine, respectively a tough Raymond Chandleresque PI and the writer who dreams up his adventures. Randy Graff plays Stone's long-suffering secretary and Dee Hoty the requisite femme fatale. Loads of atmosphere and tasty songs such as "What You Don't Know About Women," "With Every Breath I Take," "You're Nothing Without Me," and "You Can Always Count on Me" make City of Angels a modern classic. It won 1990 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Leading Actor (Naughton), Featured Actress (Graff), Best Book (Larry Gelbart), and Best Original Score. --David Horiuchi

    3 out of 5 stars Fun Show, Average Score.......2007-02-21

    Fun show, ingenuos concept, so-so score, with one exception. The ballad With Every Breath I Take is brilliant. One of Coleman's best pieces.

    5 out of 5 stars Cleverness personified.......2006-10-16

    A duet between an author and the character he created, each claiming "you're nothing without me," is just one example of how sharp, witty and clever show is, with an unusual score, jazzy and bluesy and very 1940s, and some of the best lyrics I know.

    5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Jazz Musical That's FUN!!!.......2006-04-14

    City of Angels is an incredibly fun, classy, and jazzy musical that delivers. Stellar vocal performances are provided by the entire cast, particularly the female end. The fact that Randy Graff was the only female from this cast nominated at the Tony Awards that year floors me. Kay McClelland and Rachel York deserved nods for their powerful solos, With Every Breath I Take and Lost Found, alone. These two songs are also the type of sultry, jazz solos that one would expect in the 40's, which is why the show works. The music is completely period with when the show takes place, and that's why I love it. The best tracks are:

    3) What You Don't Know About Women
    6) With Every Breath I Take (destined to be a classic)
    9) Lost and Found (wonderful solo)
    10) All You Have To Do Is Wait (FUN! FUN! FUN SONG!!! Hilarious as well)
    11) You're Nothing Without Me
    13) You Can Always Count On Me (Randy Graff's Tony!)

    4 out of 5 stars Great Jazz-Oriented Score.......2005-06-25

    1990 Tony winner for Best Musical, "City Of Angels" contains a great score, filled with jazz-oriented melodies & torch songs. Not all the songs are terrific, but most of the score lends itself to repeat listenings. Best tracks include:

    Double Talk
    What You Don't Know About Women
    With Every Breath I Take [beautiful song!]
    Lost And Found
    You're Nothing Without Me [the show's hit]
    You Can Always Count On Me
    Funny

    Great cast ... great buy!

    5 out of 5 stars I love it!.......2005-02-22

    This is one of my favorite soundtracks ever! Since I'm going to be working on music for the show, I'm happy that this is the case. It has been in my CD player for a few weeks now, and there's enough variety for it not to get old. But having read through the script makes the lyrics infinitely wittier. Musicals are supposed to rely partially on the lyrics and partially on the script. This show does that perfectly. Without the script, the lyrics are (apparently) lacking. But without the lyrics, the script is missing something. When you put the two pieces together, however, it's really easy to see why this show won a Tony.

    Baird, Russell and Van Buskirk give fine performances in a splendid
    program, but tenor Frederick Urrey [his Foster recording debut?] is a sensation! A glorious voice, with a perfect command of style in
    operatic, ballad, ensemble and even comic scenes, his Melinda May is breathtaking, his Beautiful Dreamer is the best on records, his
    duets charm and his drunken husband is a gas! He has it all!! In my 25 years of total immersion in Foster and his era, I have never
    even dreamt of hearing an artist of such stature. Foster was said to have a fine voice and to sing his music better than any other.
    I pray we now hear more of SF's songs as he must have sung them!

    5 out of 5 stars Stephen Foster Would Be Proud.......2004-02-26

    Linda Russell is a remarkable woman. I have every CD she has done and I've never been disappointed in the high quality recordings she releases. I consider her every bit of an historian as the authors of history books.
    This collection of Stephen Foster tunes, one of two that Russell has partaken in, is a rousing collection of the musical sounds of the mid-19th century. Soprano Julianne Baird and tenor Frederick Urrey join in with Ms. Russell's alto vocals to make a truly remarkable ensemble (including the musicians playing the mountain dulcimer, fortepiano, fiddle, hammered dulcimer, recorder, and accordion - all on authentic antique instruments). All combined show off the genius that Stephen Foster was - the 19th century's top songwriter who wrote music for ALL time, not just his time.
    But if it wasn't for the musical reenactors (on CD at least) of Russell and company many of these long lost gems might have stayed hidden, sadly unheard. Some choral music, a feel of opera, a bit of traditional folk all mixed together to make what I feel is an authentic piece of musical history.
    Here's hoping that Linda Russell and friends continue in the making of traditional music - Christmas and popular.
    Ms. Russell, do you ever tour? We'd love to see you here in Michigan!

    5 out of 5 stars Foster at his simple best.......2002-01-22

    What a delicious surprise this little album is, and from the ..... date, it appears to have been around for a few seasons, but is utterly new to me. I am a Julianne Baird fan from the get-go, but was pleasantly taken aback at her appearance on an album of American songs with folk balladeer Linda Russell (who plays dulcimers, mountain fiddles and all manner of country instruments and sings with the earthy texture of Judy Collins). But as usual Baird finds a way to integrate her own exquisite sensibilities and artistry into the assignment and makes a touching case for the simple and heart-rending Foster tunes--this is, after all, "early music" in which she excels--American "Early Music." Tenor Fred Urrey is another find and he likewise blends wonderfully into the surroundings. In fact, the three diverse artists hit their stride in a haunting trio rendition of Old Black Joe. Keyboard and string instruments have a ghostly and authentic ring to them as well. indeed, after the pompous and overblown Foster CDs of better-known opera singers in the bins today, this is so welcome. A treasure!
    Get it today.

    4 out of 5 stars Well-rounded and convincing.......2000-10-27

    This is an excellent rendition of Stephen Foster's songs, capitalizing on the duality inherent in the repertoire: the beautiful parlor ballads and the rowdy folk-inspired tunes. Especially remarkable is the fact that the performers bring to the music the "early music" sensibility (Julianne Baird is renowned as a performer of Elizabethan lutesongs)--this sensibility urges the performers to be as historically accurate as possible, performing on original/reproduction instruments. Also of note is the fact that it is a collaboration between classical and folk musicians: soprano, alto, tenor, fortepiano, fiddle, mountain and hammered dulcimers, harmonica, recorder, and accordian. Linda Russell (alto, mountain dulcimer) is lyrical and moving with her "folkie" voice, perfectly complementing the other "cultivated" voices and grounding them on the occasions they come together in poignant harmony.

    I only wish that they had incorporated a 19th c. parlor guitar to round out the ballads. Overall, however, one can well imagine that this is indeed the way the music sounded. As one of America's first "popular song" writers, the present performers succeed in doing him justice by incorporating many styles of 19th c. popular musics, avoiding the anachronistic "bluegrass" sound often used in performances of this repertoire, and never succumbing to waves of overly self-indulgent nostalgia.

    If you buy no other classical music, buy this collection. CD 1 (Relax) is perfect for dinner, quiet entertaining or just soft music while you're working. From "Come Away With Me", to "Whiter Shade of Pale" to "Knights in White Satin"... each piece is it's own movement - and moved you will be... Perfect for a romantic evening. CD2 is more robust, but equally entertaining. "Layla", "Livin On A Prayer", Stairway to Heaven", "Run to You" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" - you owe it to yourself to hear these licks performed by the RPO.

    I received this as a present and at first I wasn't sure if I would like it because I don't like some of the original songs, but there's something about hearing the orchestra play that makes me like all of them. Just try it out.

    5 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic!.......2007-04-19

    I really can't say enough about this album. From the song writing to the masterful arrangements to the slick production quality, Smokie is firing on all cylenders. If the original Earth, Wind and Fire were cutting albums today they would probably sound a lot like this one. I don't care what faith you are, this album is worth a listen. Check it out!

    This is the first time I've heard Smokie Norful's work. I'm familiar with the name but wasn't familiar with is songs. My best friend sent this CD too me here in Iraq to feed my spirit. Oh it was definitely what I needed. My favorite song is track 7 "In The Middle". I've listened to this song a million times already.

    I am anxious to purchase his other CD's.
