Next - Mark Isham

Advantages: A lovely duet with James Taylor
Disadvantages: Flat and repetitive

...by Richard Bennett on guitar and other strings, Jim Cox on piano and Hammond Organ, Guy Fletcher on keyboards and backing vocals. Glenn Worf on bass and Chad Cromwell on drums. There are various guest session musicians on all of the tracks, with the most notable being Paul Franklin on pedal steel. There are 14 tracks on this album. All having dealings with either America or Britain. Smart marketing for his fans on both sides of the ocean. I wish they would have been as smart when appraising the quality of the songs. Maybe next time. I will buy his next album if there is one. I haven't given up on Mark Knopfler yet.... Read review

Advantages: new music, easy listening
Disadvantages: a bit slow but interesting

...After Take That broke up in 1996 (it cant be that long sob sob ) Mark Owen the small sexy dishy one (sorry got carried away) started his own solo career with his first album Green Man. Mark had a lot to do to keep his fans from Take That, plus more. He also had to follow in the great footsteps off Robbie Williams, so all eyes were on Mark. Mark changed his appearance, longer hair, more hippy look and changed his style of music. Gone was the pop, dance music in came the more soulful, slower songs. Ones with great lyrics. There’s 11 tracks on this album. 1st Green Man 2nd Clementine 3rd Child 4th Are you with me 5th Ask him to 6th Backpocket and me 7th Move on 8th Second-hand Wonderland 9th My love 10th I am what I am 11th Is that what its all about Here are a few versus from some of my favourites; 1st Green Man...
