Great Spirit Told Me - Michael Looking Coyote

Advantages: Really relaxing and an easy CD to listen to
Disadvantages: I can't think of any, honestly!

...I bought this thinking that i would just like one or two songs, which i find i do with most albums, but this proved me wrong, it is a really good album to sit back and listen to. I found that this CD releases emotion, the lyrics tell a really good story, and not to complicated to pick up (so you can have a great sing while you work). Some of the lyrics get you thinking about things. I don't know about you but i like a CD i can sing the lyrics to as well as listen to them and you can with this one. But overall i would recommend this CD to all ages because my whole family will listen to this. Some of these you will find on the great coyote ugly movie which you will also find as a review i have wrote about. The CD listings; 1) Cant fight the moonlight 2) Life Goes On 3) How do i Live 4) I need you 5) We can 6) Last thing on my... Read review

Advantages: Please remember - awesome song
Disadvantages: The middle part of the album is TERRIBLE!

...the story of a battle between a violinist and the devil. Very good stuff. In the film, this is one of the songs which the Coyotes dance to on the bar - a scene which is one of my favourites from the movie. My rating of this track = 9/10 Track 10 - Boom boom boom - Rare Blend --- Rare Blend describe themselves on their website as the place where rock, jazz, fusion and world music collide. To me, this accurately describes this song. It is a real mixture of everything. I have to admit that I hadn't heard of this band before getting hold of this soundtrack, but I will be looking a bit more into their music. There are good musical lines, some good harmony work, and all kinds of little bits….for example the synth keyboards thrown in for good measure. My rating of this track = 7/10 Track 11 - Didn't we love - Tamara Walker --- Tamara Walker... Read review

Advantages: Includes his single 'Everything'
Disadvantages: Some bad arrangements and a lisp!!!

...This is Michael's latest release and I have to say, having been a fan since his UK launch, it isn't as good as his previous work. Michael specialises in re-energising and transforming established 'covers' and well known tunes that sit well into big band music, but the selection on this CD is somewhat tired and outdated. His previous CD's have had great musical arrangements, and they have certainly brought the life back into tunes that were far at the back of our memories. But the arrangements on this CD just don't seem to make that work. Whether he has changed production team, I don't know, but this hasn't got the usual magic we expect of Michael. There's also a ridiculous version of 'World on a String' which he sings with a lisp!! Yes, you read it right, a lisp!! Heaven knows what was on the producers mind there! or Michael... Read review
