Advantages: Great variety-differen side of Jools Disadvantages: some people may think it's too different?
Hey there Ciao!
I'm going to review a CD of one of my favourite artists, the great JoolsHolland. I'm sure all of you have heard of him somehow, as he has got himself everywhere at all times of the year; Later with JoolsHolland, the Hootenanny at New Year, he was in the band Squeeze, and he did radio work, and countless gigs with his band, The Rhythm and BluesOrchestra. And it's the CD he did with them that I'm going to review! And it costs £11.99 if you're buying it new from www.amazon.co.uk, but you can get it for as little for £4 second hand!
It's called Hop The Wag, and was released about 5 years ago. Now the first thing you notice is the slightly hippy themed front cover. It's basically Jools sitting in a slightly odd chair, in his usual nonchalant pose, and over the photo, the most crazy, most psychedelic, most funky drawing ...
I would just like to write a review on JoolsHolland Best of Friends, a CD with a DVD bonus pack on the king of rhythm and blues. We all know of him from his specials at New Year, along with the numerous shows that he does during the year.
As the title does actually point out, this is all about Jools performing with his friends. The tracks on the CD are as follows, along with who actually performed them with him:
1. JoolsHolland and hisRhythm and BluesOrchestra - Tuxedo Junction.
2. Lulu - Where have all the good guys gone?
3. Chrissie Hynde - Out of this world.
4. Edwin Starr - Snowflake Boogie (2007 Remix).
5. Norah Jones - In the dark.
6. George Harrison - Horse to the water (2007 Remix).
7. Ruby Turner - To love a chhild.
8. Prince Buster - Enjoy Yourself.
9. Sterophonics - First time ever I saw your face ...
Advantages: really good Disadvantages: none really

Time for a little reminiscence of Glastonbury
JoolsHolland and the Rhythm and bluesorchestra were on Pyramid stage at 2.10pm on Saturday 2002
Perfect the music just right for a summer afternoon.
A truly magnificent beat restful but at the same time compelling You just had to listen .I will be honest I can?t remember the names of the songs. I was a bit sleepy some of the time I just lay on the grass and just listened at others I would be compelled to stand up and dance the beat of the music just flowed through my body.
It was a wonderful performance. Shall have to try and catch him and the blues band live again.
A little about Jules.
He was born in January 1958 making him only a little older than I.
When he was 15 he met GlenTilbrook and Chris Difford together they formed Squeeze
In 1985 he formed ...
