Classic Sessions - International Beat (The)

Advantages: Great beats, great lyrics, brilliant songs - all hits
Disadvantages: Couple of songs not so hot

...many the other has had, and is trying to deal with it. 03 - I Confess - great love song with a ska beat - good combo, and is one of my favourite songs on the album. 04 - Tears of a Clown - , just a classic song, with a great, well... beat! 05 - Whine & Grine/Stand Down Margaret - Whine & Grine feels too reggae for me, its ok, but not, for me at least, having a ska feel.

The actual album is made up of some amazing tunes including tracks that are unusual, unique, banging and simply decent... Read review

...for everyone and the CD doesn't get repetitive. Here are the tracks listing for the CD:- 1. Pirate Looks At 40 - Johnson, Jack This is a cover by Jack of Jimmy Buffet song pirate looks at 40, it is a very slow mellow song, it is a little sad but I love singing along to it. 2. What Would You Rather Do - Johnson, Jack & September Sessions Band This song is a lot quicker a very funky addictive beat, it has no words just loads of instruments I would be love to name them all but its impossible there's definable bongo's guitars and keyboards. 3. Grey's Groove - Johnson, Jack & Grey boy/Karl Denson This song also doesn't have any words just a piano and a flute I think. Doesn't sound like it would be a good song but it's very up-beat and funky. Something to groove too. 4. Willow Tree - Johnson, Jack & G. Love & Special Sauce This... Read review
