Best Of Andy Stewart, The - Andy Stewart

Advantages: All the very best on one cd.
Disadvantages: none

...This is the only Rod Stewart cd that i own. All of his best songs are here. I particularly wanted the track = Rhythm of my heart, as its been a favourite of mine for a long time. Having listened to both cd,s i find myself liking everything about it. I bought it used from ebay and at a very reasonable price, especially for a double cd. As he now seems to be singing the old crooner type of songs i don,t expect to be buying any more, definately not my thing, even though i love his voice, i really dont like the " sinatra " stuff. The days of " Maggie May " when he was a bit of a rocker, is much more my thing. he says = Do you think i,m sexy. well in my opinion yes, yes , yes. like a lot of singers he gets better with age. If you are looking for a good rounded selection of Rod,s best song,s , then you need look no further.... Read review

Advantages: Ron Wood
Disadvantages: Hot Legs

...You Back to the rubbish. See tracks 1 and 2. Track 10: Tom Traubert's Blues Good pub style R&B. Track 11: The First Cut Is The Deepest If you don't know this song, I want to know what you're doing on my planet. I'm not sure of my favourite version but this is good enough to bring a tear. Track 12: Mandolin Wind Seminal 70's beanbags on the floor track. Meant to be done in this format. Track 13: Highgate Shuffle Another pub rocker. Well worth a listen. Track 14: Stay With Me Mid period Rod Stewart. Anthemic and requires one to be moderately pissed. Ok, but should be fully plugged for best effect. Track 15: Having A Party Rod tries to end with an old soul classic. Not a good idea! What I like about this CD is that it shows how good Rod and the Faces were and how middle of the road rod became. It also shows how... Read review

Advantages: Lots of great titles
Disadvantages: No general mood

...This CD was supposed to be a first really massive compilation of drum'n'bass all time best titles. And it did a good job. But it definetly could have done much better. It's obvious that Andy C wanted to represent d'n'b of all the kinds in his compilation. Here we will find some great jump-up tracks, some funky stuff, some moody tracks and some easy to hear ambient d'n'b. But this also results in an absence of a general mood of a compilation, of some idea that could make these tracks stand together. There's nothing like that here, and fading of some tracks to the others sometimes looks simply odd. Another thing is that although good titles are in good numbers here, there are too much weak ones between them. Because of these two things we have the biggest disadvantage of both CD's: although great tracks are included and the mixing... Read review
