...singles and album cuts from Lenny Kravitz, an American singer-singwriter-musician who's big in the States but still mostly remembered over here for Are You Gonna Go My Way, a stonking hit single in 1993 and Fly Away, which reached no 1 with the help of a car ad (where have I heard that one before?)
I personally don't know anyone who'd buy all his albums, but this CD hoovers up stuff from his first five releases and serves as a good introduction ...

Advantages: Superb guitar work throughout, varied styles Disadvantages: Some might say derivative
...of the same name, and Lenny really goes for it in this one. This song is full of energy, and I love it.

The final track, is not really my favourite - it has far too much electronica in it, and not an awful much of melody and fun to it at all. If it was just tacked on the end to make up the album, then it tells. And if it wasn't, then it shouldn't have been put there!

Lenny Kravitz.
The sexiest man walking the planet today.
No, don't disagree with me, I'm right! So how on earth did I stop drooling at the sight of this album cover long enough to put the CD in my player? Heaven knows, it must have taken me about a week, but I'm so very glad I did.
You see, not only am I absolutely in love with the man (he will be mine, oh yes, he will be mine), but I'm a great fan of his music, so what more could a girl ask for ...

Advantages: Pretty much all the Kravitz tunes anyone really needs, intelligently sequenced Disadvantages: Short by current Greatest Hits CD standards, only 1 new recording
...anyone noticing the fact - Lenny Kravitz has been subjected to cries of "pretender", "plagirist" and "self-deluded rock icon".
In fairness, the once-dreadlocked lothario has often played into the hands of critics with a string of serviceable and anthemic would-be-classic rock tunes that either draw inspiration from the greats such as Lennon and Hendrix, or mercilessly rip them off - depending on your point of view.
This Greatest Hits release ...

Advantages: 15 tracks of musical genius. Disadvantages: Only 15 tracks?
...music for a long time. Lenny was born in 1964 and released his first album in 1989 called 'Let love rule'. His music has gone from strength to strength ever since with albums like 'Mama said', and 'Fly away', the title tracks of which are both on this album.
With such successful songs as "Are you gonna go my way", "It ain't over 'till it's over", and "Fly away" there surely can't be a music fan alive who hasn't heard of Lenny Kravitz or listened ...
