How Do I? 12. In The Morning I have always been a big fan of Blue and Lee has always been my fave. He is just so extremely talented with a voice of an angel. This album sees him change from boyband member to solo star and i would have to say that it was definately a good decision to try his hand at his own work. This album, in my opinion, hears musical influences from such artists as Marvin Gaye and Luther Vandross among others. Debut single, Army of Lovers, starts the album off and as the album plays on, it just gets better and better. Second Single, Turn Your Car Around, is an acoustic style track which i love to listen...

Lisa-Lee is sure to follow in her aunties footsteps, as one of the best British sopranos of the 21st Century. I was amazed how poppy sounding this album is. The Breath of Life album, features warm strings, heavenly choirs and ambient textures. 2 of the songs demonstrate a contemporary groove which cleverly support Lisas well crafted classical arrangements. Fortunately the album is straight ahead classical and has a Lord of the rings dreamy filmic angle to a couple of the arrangements. Over all the sound is unintrusive and easy on the ear and would be ideal for dinner parties... Read review

Disadvantages: The album shows what good music some of us missed played live.

...Eric Clapton is my favourite guitarist not only for his longevity but for the skill in his guitar playing. He with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker reform in 2005 for a series of Concerts initially at the Royal Albert Hall but then going world wide for a tour. I saw Eric Clapton with Blind Faith at one of the early free concerts in Hyde Park in the late sixties, I think june 1969, as a teenager so was quite upset that I missed the Albert Hall Concerts especially as one fell on my birthday 5th May 2007.

There are three 60 year old rockers who hadn't played all together in a band for forty years. Playing the songs as the did all those years ago. They play, in my own personal opinion, better than...
