Welcome Home Loser - Broken Family Band (The)

Welcome Home - Brians debut solo album

Advantages: Showcases Brians vocals quite well, some catchy tracks,
Disadvantages: Wont appeal to all, BSB fans and others, some tracks slightly 'filler'

- Introduction - Brian Littrell is well known as being one of the Backstreet Boys, one of the biggest selling boy bands of the 1990s. Anyone who has been a fan of his or has read many interviews with him from the start, will be aware that his faith is pretty important to him and plays a big part in his life. When asked what he might have been, had he not become a member of the group, he has often said that he would have gone on to become a youth minister or something similar and he has also stated from early on that if he were to do a solo project, it would likely involve his faith and that he would like to make an accessible records that would hopefully bring religion and faith to perhaps non religious people, such as some Backstreet Boys fans. Brians first solo album, entitled Welcome Home, was finally released in the US in ...

Review of Welcome Home - Brian Littrell

Welcome Home

Advantages: Brian's brilliant voice
Disadvantages: The songs are too religious for the everyday buyer

Brian Littrell started, and continues, his career as a member of the Backstreet Boys, one of the most popular Boy bands to grace the 90's music scene. Brian though felt it was about time for him to release a solo album and this is it. Brian Littrell's Christian debut album Welcome Home. Song Listing: 1 - My Answer Is You 2 - Wish 3 - Welcome Home (You) 4 - You Keep Givin' Me 5 - Gone Without Goodbye 6 - I'm Alive 7 - Over My Head 8 - We Lift You Up 9 - Grace Of My Life 10 - Angels And Heroes 11 - Jesus Loves You Throughout the album Brian addresses issues of his faith and his family and happiness. It's not the feel good album that I would have expected from a Backstreet Boy but it's definately a moving and thought provoking album. Whilst listening to this CD I found some of the songs to be a bit too slow for my liking ...

Review of Welcome Home - Brian Littrell

Welcome Home, Corrs.

Advantages: Wonderful source material; appealing arrangements with long shelf life; excellent sound; BBC Concert Orchestra.
Disadvantages: Sharon's violin, Corrs' vocal harmonies underused; bubblegum track, 'Old Town'.

The Corrs have finally come home. And thank heaven for that. Who? you ask. This multi-platinum selling Irish pop band from Dundalk, Ireland, are four siblings, namely, sisters Sharon, Caroline, Andrea and brother Jim. Although they're less well known in the USA, their music has sold phenomenally well across the globe (large fan bases exist in the UK, Ireland, western and central Europe, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, Australia?but in the USA??). Their remarkable debut album, 'Forgiven, Not Forgotten' (1995), combined modern pop with a strong Irish sensibility through the use of uillean pipes, bodhràn, tin whistle, and the dulcet-toned violin of Sharon. Although their second album, 'Talk on Corners' (1999), dropped a notch below 'Forgiven', that work still drew mainly upon the Corrs' strengths ...
