Paul Robeson - Paul Robeson

Advantages: A superb tenor voice
Disadvantages: none

...Paul Potts the Welshman who stole the show of Britain`s got Talent. A very real from rags to riches story here,going from the brink of bankruptcy to being a star within weeks. Paul is an accomplished tenor and released his album `One Chance` after being voted the winner of that well known UK television show. The clarity and polish he projects is spine tingling. Though some of the Opera critics have commented on his lack of finesse.If you enjoy a good tenor voice then join ranks and see what he has to offer. The album has a mix of genres,the opening track being `Nessun Dorma` sung with true passion. Other tracks include: Time to say goodbye Amapola Everybody hurts Caruso Nella Fantasia You raise me up My way Cavatina Music of the night The mix of genres will tell you that Paul does not aspire to be what he is not.

Advantages: Some fantastic songs that benefitted from a live atmosphere.
Disadvantages: Some tracks didn't work vocally, a little Beatle bias.

...You would have to have lived in a cave over the past forty odd years not to have heard of Paul McCartney; in spite of his now ex-wife's original claim that she'd never heard of the fab four before she met the man himself (yeah, right), most people left on the planet may wish to rekindle memories of years gone by, or even discover them for the first time.

This two disk set, as it conveniently points out on the front, contains 36 tracks by the man himself, chronicling his time in the world's biggest band ever to his time in Wings and even his extensive solo career. I'm not saying that it wasn't realised in order to earn... Read review

Advantages: A remarkable, perfectly produced live album
Disadvantages: It is a live album, and this is enough to put many buyers off!

...fathers and mothers jumped and hopped around in drain pipes and minis, their children now stand, silent in front of the same man but in reflective thought of his words, rather than his music. After the surprising success of the start of his solo career, (and let's face it, we didn't think he would ever appear again after the break of The Style Council) he bought us strong albums with guitar in hand. In the shape of 'Paul Weller,' 'Wild Wood,' but it was only with the giant storm of a live album, simply titled, 'Live Wood,' in September 1994 that he had stumbled across something that other bands find incredibly hard to do, and that's release a pleasing live LP. Jumping back into the studio for a brief while, he didn't dip his toes into the waters of live audience participation again until, 'Days Of Speed,' in 2001. Complete with all... Read review
