In Japan - Buck Owens & His Buckaroos

Advantages: catchy tunes
Disadvantages: none

...Mark Owen is the small, sexy one from Take That... in my opinion of course haha. This is Mark Owens' first album after the split of Take That in 1996 which shows there is so much more to him than the typical boy band label he was given.

Clementine is my particular favourite because it is really catchy, especially the chorus. It is the type of song that stays in your head. Although the album did not do as good as Robbie Williams albums, it was still a hit. It is good to listen to whatever mood you are in and it will chill you out and make you feel happy. I love this album just because there is something about it that just gives you a warm feeling inside. I would highly... Read review

The album is apparently about events in 1957, as discussed in track two. On the internet, there's a lot of weighty discussion about the meaning of the album. 1957 was the year the Beat Generation emerged with "On the road... Read review

...but still a good tune. BABY I'M NO GOOD a more soulful tune,slow a bit to slow, one of the tunes i wasnt to keen on, HEAD IN THE CLOUDS is another i wasnt keen, CLOSE TO THE EDGE pretty good another love song, KILL WITH YOUR SMILE like this one has really good tune a bit different, PIECES OF HEAVEN like the way this song sounds, plus like that you can actually understand what he is singing, TURN THE LIGHT ON really enjoyed this track,good beat. Think you would have to be a mark owen fan to appreciate these tunes but think once you have a listen you will enjoy.His last album had a more hippy style whilst this one is more pop and fun, taking him back to the great TAKE THAT days.Well worth a listen,great to have amongst your cd collection.If your a mark owen fan you will love this album, give it a try....
