"One Voice"--yeah, but whaddah voice! Great album. It is AWESOME! The more I listen to it, the more I LOVE it!!!! Some standard songs like "One Voice, I Don't Wanna Walk Without You, Ships, Who's Been Sleeping in my Bed, & When I Wanted You." They are all great, of course. "Who's Been Sleeping in my Bed" is a wee bit different version than the other version I have and it's cool. It has this guitar-drum bridge that is awesome--I mean, it ROCKS!!! I LOVE it! The song lasts over 4 1/2 minutes, too. Man, play that one loud in the morning and blast down the interstate! (and I do, too!) Everytime I hear this song, I wanna DANCE!!!
There are some new-to-me songs "Why Don't We Try A Slow Dance, Rain, You Could Show Me, Where Are They Now, Bobbie Lee, Sunday Father" and 4 bonus tracks "They Gave in to the Blues" is one plus there and 3 demos "Learning to Live Without You, Where I Want to Be, and I Let Myself Believe." (and these last 3 are outstandingly beautuful). 15 songs in all--digitally remastered. "Why Don't We Try A Slow Dance" makes me think of the high-school dances--you know, slow dancing with a boy. Very pretty song, Heck, they're all such pretty songs! "Rain" has a catchy tune and beat to it. Makes me wanna dance. Kinda in between slow and fast. Sort of an easy beat, like 35 miles per hour. "Rain" (I can't stop the rain, kissin my love goodbye) so pretty. Also, in Rain, they make these plunk, plunk rain sounds on the guitar all through the song. Really creative. Really cool.
Great album, great sound quality! Runs a wee bit under 51 minutes. I highly recommend it. On a scale of 1 - 5, I give it at least an 20. I find myself getting hopelessly addicted to it. I have to listen to it at least once a day, if not more. It has definitely become one of my favorite Barry albums! Oh, and there's a booklet included with the words to all the songs, so you can sing along with Barry Blue-Eyes.
Update July 2008: This has become one of my absolute favorite Barry albums, along with Summer of '78. It was really hard for me to pick favorites. People sometimes write and ask me. I truly love everything Barry does.
I love this cd. One Voice has a lot of heartfelt songs on it. One voice is great with Barry doing most of the background vocals in addition to the lead and Why Don't We Try A Slow Dance is one of my favorites. The emotion Barry always puts in his songs is especially seen in Ships and Father and Son. This is a must for any Barry Manilow fan.
