The Love Songs

( 540 794-2 ©1997 A&M Records Ltd ) Signed cover of The Love Songs CD

My view :

Another 'Best of' but themed to include older ( some rerecorded ) romantic songs and some strong new songs - it's great !
Of the rerecordings the choir on "In a country churchyard" is the icing on this superb track, "In love forever" works brilliantly without the orchestral backing on "Beautiful Dreams", and "Lonely Sky" is remixed well.
Of the new songs, "So beautiful" deserves to become a classic CdeB song and there is a successful return to the storytelling songs of his earlier career with "It's Me ( and I'm ready to go )", "Forevermore" seems to be a slow starter but is growing on me.
The last album had "Say Goodbye To It All" so this has "Borderline" !
Did I say I like this album ? I do !!
