 Best of David Soul
Submitted on: 2007-01-10 |

| Excellent delivery service. The CD was great - bringing back old memories. Silver Lady really is a great track - it could easily be re-released. I also very much enjoyed much of Davids other music, with which I was completely unfamiliar. His voice is so distinctive and emotive. |

| I wish they would also reissue some of the earlier LPs. Does anyone remember the old LP "Playing To An Audience Of One" - I loved that album as a child.. |

| Total crap. This record makes me wanna puke. Worst of all is Tattler's cover. Only a good song in it: Silver Lady. Better buy SWAT soundtrack instead. |

 First half "sweet," second half folky

Back in the day of vinyl LPs, performers often used the necessary break of flipping over the record to change the tone of an album. This CD "flips" before Track #9 (One More Mountain To Climb). Maybe you'll be lucky and like both "sides," like many reviewers here. I don't like the first side, but would buy the album for the second side alone.
With an exception or two, the first eight tracks are all similar: sensitive-guy ballads, first-person lyrics (can't recall having heard the word "I" so much in so short a space before), arrangements heavy on the strings. It's a sweet old-fashioned sound, without much edge. The sound of the band Bread is a good comparison.
The last six tracks (plus track 2, a bit out of place) are quite different. Somebody's shot the string section, the piano player's loosened his tie and gotten more creative, and a guy on electric guitar sits in on a few. The songs are more what you'd find on a James Taylor or Gordon Lightfoot album, with a blues/gospel/folk vibe. It's a smart selection of covers that shows off Soul's voice well. I particularly like "One More Mountain To Climb" and Soul's own "Topanga," but really I'm happy with all of these numbers.
The mixing isn't great; I kept noticing the high-hat, and the background sings sometimes drown Soul's light tenor. I do like that throughout the album he has the nerve to undersing ("Let's Have a Quiet Night In"), or to push the edge of his range ("1927 Kansas City"), to make a song more interesting. |

Men just don't understand..they are jealous

| Listening to DS brings me back to my youth..better times..a safer world and carefree thoughts. Okay..tell me how I can not remember my license plate number..but after 30 years..I am able to remember all the lyrics to his songs? Its so refreshing to hear music which you can actually understand the lyrics. The one complaint which I have with this cd and all his others..is that there are no videos which we can watch on our computers. If only we had a video or two added to the cds...it would be so much nicer..then all would be perfect with the world. |
