I'll Always Remember Paul Walker for Gems like This

I know Paul Walker is best remembered for his Fast and Furious roles, but to me, my appreciation comes from his a roles. Personally, I love, really LOVE Tokyo Drift, the one he was absent from.
But for what I remember Paul Walker for
Hours. What a small cast masterpiece. I can't believe he wasn't at least nominated for an award for this
Into the Blue. Ignoring the eye candy aspect of it, it had real heart, a logical plot, and was plain fun. And who doesn't love the entire cast? The entire cast was just a class
 Running Scared. I can't praise this film enough. I wish I could erase my mind, and see this film again for the first time. If there was one film I wish I could re experience for the first time, this would be it.

Then comes this film. I didn't realize until 3/4 of the way through it that it was the Running Scared director. I loved it. It isn't quite the same level of Running Scared magnificence, but it is 90% there. I personally feel the end let the film down, mainly Elijah Wood's character. But I would give the director the benefit of the doubt and accept his vision.

Paul Overstreet shows in his music the everyday simple but mostly forgotten issues of the simple life of yesterdays' gone bye, listening to theses songs remind me of a Rockwell painting something to tressure and  feel good about. Song Like "Seein' My Father In Me"  "Heroes" "Daddy's Come Around" "Sowin Love"  "Love Helps Those" "All The Fun" and many others not  counting all the hits he's had for other artists like Randy Travis'  "On The Other Hand" "Forever and Ever Amen"  "Deeper Than The Holler" Keith Whitneys' "When You Say  Nothing At All" with the first and last being songs of the year, and  many more great songs that have touched all of us who love the simple life  of what country music is all about and no one touches on it like Paul  Overstreet does and the best of his own our here to enjoy but do try and  find other fine Albums by this great artist, you'll be glad you did. Thanks  Paul for these great songs. (Do you remember Merle's Drive-In Paul....In  Visalia, CA.?)

I really enjoy this album. I like Paul Simon's voice and delivery quite a bit. This medley of integrated melodic Rock and Jazz rhythms on these songs is pretty catchy and has a distinct sound all their own. There is a lot of movement here on some of these songs. "Late In The Evening" rocks and stills blows me away. "One-Trick Pony" and "Ace In The Hole" are just so cool. "How The Heart Approaches What It Yearns" is such tender and melancholic jazz.  This is one of my favorite Paul Simon albums and it certainly has transcended the test of time. I always found it amusing that this was a soundtrack to his film but I cannot even remember the film any more.  However, the songs still endearingly linger.

I have every single one of their CD's, and this CD sums up all their music knowledge they have obtain over 25 plus year history, although Steve Negus is missing, I believe Brian Doerner does a pretty good job. But Michael Sadler just keeps getting better over time and the Crichton/Gilmour combinations just remind me of how great this group is ands how much they have influenced me over the last 25 years, yes I have been a fan from the start and 80% of the music I hear is prog rock thanks to them, not Yes, not ELP, not Genesis but them, they are the ones that introduced me to this music and I am still hooked to it.

If you have never heard them, this and Worlds Apart are a great place to start, if you are already a fan, you should own this already

I recently got into Paul Schwartz's music and has been forever hooked. Actually I already owned the first Aria cd but to be honest the album didn't do much for me. It was good but it lacked the magic that "State of Grace" has. Not to long ago, I bought "State of Grace" and was totally bowled over by Paul's compositions. I loved Paul's blend of classical and new age music. Lisbeth Scott's vocals were simply stunning and soothing to listen to. So after playing "State of Grace" so many times, I thought my next Paul Schwartz purchase would have to be his latest album "Earthbound". I was immediately enamoured with Paul's latest album. I just loved the title track and Tara McLean's vocals on the song. I was extremely pleased to see Lisbeth Scott was singing on this album. Lisbeth definitely has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. "IL Gioco" is a perfect example of her talents. Too bad most pop artists today lack even a quarter of Lisbeth's talents as a vocalist. "Nevermore" is a heavenly delight to listen to. I love the delicate notes of the harp. For people who have already own "State of Grace", I think they will recognize track #5 "River of Stars". That is definitely one of my favorite songs from Paul himself. I must admit that I find myself liking "State of Grace" just a wee bit more than "Earthbound" but that is just my personal preferences. Still "Earthbound" is a gorgeous body of work. I am definitely now a Paul Schwartz fan. "Earthbound" was all I needed to hear to make me a fan.

There is something about Paul Byrom's voice that both soothes me and makes my heart soar at the same time. Sounds SO corny, I know, but it's the truth! I'm a huge fan of Paul as both a solo artiest and a member of Celtic Thunder and he has yet to disappoint me. When you listen to "If I Could Cry" you can tell that it's a song that belongs in a musical, but with the passion and strength he puts into it, he makes it his own. After hearing a bit of it on his MySpace page, I was so eager to get this song that I was checking for updates on its release date about three times a day. Paul has a true God given talent, this man was born to be professional tenor. And if you ever read this, Paul, congrats on this truly amazing song and I can't wait to hear what you're going to do next!

I was actually surfing around for reviews and the like for Moving Pictures's DAYS OF INNOCENCE COLLECTION when I read Clint Grabill's review of it. To be honest, this is not a review of that aforementioned CD, but more of a note of interest to anyone (Clint included) who likes Moving Pictures, or, as is often the case with us 80s Gen-Xers, that sublime ballad "What About Me".
Anyway, like Clint, I love that song; not many songs quite tugs at the heartstrings as much as that one. And like Clint, it also took a few years before I found that song, on a CD, of all places. That was way back in 1991, when I was holiday in Melbourne. The CD is called TRAX AUSTRALIAN MADE II, and is released in 1988 by EMI Records Australia. It is a compilation of some of the best songs I've ever heard this side of awesome. Like the name suggests, the artistes on this CD are all Aussies (do correct me if I'm wrong, though), and what a brilliant bunch they are! Rather than delve into the details of the CD, go check it out for yourself. If you liked WAM, or that good ol' unique Aussie brand of pop/rock, I wager that you will not be disappointed. Hell, I'm still listening to it, 13 years on....

I have always and will always love Soul Ballet! This music is timeless!  If you know and enjoy Paul Hardcastle, you will also enjoy this CD.

As a classic rock die-hard, I have to say I smiled ear to ear during the entire performance.  Great transfer and yes Paul Rodgers is Bad-Ass!

This has to be a great record, somewhat in the old school vein of the old Motown, Chess, and Stax record days. Paul (the vocalist) can keep you interested in the same songs over and over while driving in the car or at home. His voice is very unique by today's standards, and I love it. (Think maybe Otis Redding and Etta James with a bit of Koko grind?). The engineering work, particularly the capturing of Paul's voice, and the resultant mix is really interesting. You can really feel the space in his vocals. The drummer is also fantastic, keeping things tight with a solid bass player, the guitar work is old school with added modern flavor, and the two different keyboard players are simple and yet clever in their voices (I particularly like the surprise 'roller rink '60s voice on one track). The entire band is good, no complaints here, (and of course there are some great arrangements here, of the songs, and the horn parts), but overall the vocal and the drums and bass guitar keep me quite focused and entertained. I highly recommend this record!!

Paul Smith is really terrific.  I've been trying to get my hands on as much of his recordings as possible.  This guy could play lots of notes (like an Oscar Peterson), and he always did it with terrific good taste.

I'm a big Kaskade fan and this CD is probably the most consistent he has done. With the deep house synths and choruses he definitely steps it up in the anthemic department, and produces some truly transcendent moments. 4 AM and Distance in particular are just beautiful songs. If you have ever been separated from your significant other Distance will be quite poignant. And I think 4 AM may be one of my top 10 songs ever. Every remix and breakdown of it is great. Kaskade is blazing a trail and I hope he can resist the lure of true dance music superstar, because that usually involves descent into trance, crowd pleasing generica. Kaskade is unique and soulful, and some of his best moments are captured here. Also, check out the video of 4 AM filmed with a live band, I got it from itunes. EPIC.

Along with "Back to the egg","red rose speedway" or, of course, "Band on the run" this is Wings and Paul's most catchy and interesting album.it has got a disco flavour in some moments and even that it sounds a bit too old (not the best production even on remastered series) it still charms the listener with great melodies.
Paul puts some typical simple songs like "Let'em in" or "she's My baby" that give a warm feeling.amusing "Cook of the house" sung by Linda McCartney is a nice suprise.ultra-catchy "Time to hide","Silly love song" or "The note you never wrote" (vocals by denny laine) are very good too.in general all 11 songs that were included on original vinyl album are satisfying.
the only bad idea that destroyed the concept of album is three bonus tracks that simply do not fit here.country styled previously unreleased songs ("Walking in the park with eloise","sally g","bridge on river suite") are definitly nice suprise for Paul's fans but they should be putted somewhere else instead.
"at the Speed of sounds" is a solid seventies pop-rock work.worth a listening.

Great voice, great songs, great arrangement/production - Great Music.  I won't waste words describing what has to be experienced.  There are maybe 3-4 artists whose music really grabs my heart and not just my interest - add Paul Wright to that list.  My ears love it - my "guts" love it - and my heart loves this man's music.  Go see him play and buy his T-shirts!

After seeing Paul Potts on YouTube, I could not resist buying his first cd.  What a voice.  Every single song is just beautiful.  You really must have this one, I might even like him better than Pavaroti.  Wonderful.  From small beginnings comes greatness.

Every one of these recently re-released mid-sixties early Temptations albums are brilliant to the point of genius. It simply does not get any better than this. Perhaps ever. Besides getting the true and original Temptations sound, you also get all the literally great work of Paul Williams on lead. I never realized that part of his tragedy was that he had a Florence Ballard experience with the Temptations, when the powers that be decided that David Ruffin appeared to have a more commercially profitable lead voice. How sad that we not only lost Mr. Williams so tragically but that his exceptional and incredible talent as a soul singer is still so under-appreciated to this day. The proof is in the listening and it is all here. Be smart and get these re-releases while you can. They are all pure gold and possibly the absolute best Motown that there is.

I love Paul Young's writing and this was no exception.
