Al Haig Today - Al Haig Trio

Advantages: Every song is different!
Disadvantages: Some songs are much longer than others.

...I was first introduced to Weird Al's songs through the collection that my dad had lent me, quite some time ago. The songs were actually really different from what I had heard in the past, and really entertaining. The actual contents of the CD range from titles like The Weird Al Show Theme to Your Horoscope For Today, and literally each and every song is completely unique and absolutely wonderful to hear. The cover booklet is also really neat, which you'll get to see if you get the CD. It's got a picture of Al running around a track with these giant scissors. These songs really add to my collection of songs on my computer, and of the nearly 5000 songs I have on there, these have got to be one of my favorites. I would definitely recommend this CD to fans of Weird Al's music.... Read review

Advantages: a beautiful album
Disadvantages: sounds very 80 's

...Thanks to the people who helped me get the courage to write with my own words.LTM , the excellent label run by James Nice , that re-issue lots of lost records from almost unknoww artist like Paul Haig or Isabelle Antena , is doing a great job. The album here sounds better than the original copy , has a nicer cover with lots of information and the cd is full of bonus , including 12" versions and B sides. Produced by Martin Hayles (light house family , Orange juice) , recorded by Alan Moulder (Curve , Jesusand themarychain) , it has the sound of the eighties for sure but more like the first Sade or early Everything but the girl. Definitely a good way to dicover Isabelle Antena. Don't overlook the american re-issue of Camino del sol , the first record Isabelle did under the name Antena.... Read review

Advantages: Excellent stress relief
Disadvantages: Too high for most people to sing along to properly!

...Having heard a few of his songs in the recent past (Tired of Being Alone - covered by Texas and Let's Stay Together - featured in the magnificent Pulp Fiction) and the inclusion of a few tasty snippets in a few episodes of Ally McBeale, I was propelled into buying this fab CD. It has a blend of upbeat, dancy numbers and some toe-tapping ballads, but there's a part in most of the songs on this album that I just have to close my eyes to! And I don't consider myself to be an avid fan. This is my only Al Green album, but I definitely wouldn't rule out buying another!... Read review
