5.0 out of 5 stars Eddy Arnold/One of a Kind, September 7, 2005

I quite by accident discovered Eddy Arnold's latest and perhaps last CD, "After All These Years". I have been his fan all my life. Though his 87 years shows in his aging voice, he can still deliver the heart felt lyrics of a love song, or any other song for that matter. Now, what he has lost in range and technical ability, he more than makes up with a voice full of wisdom and experience. In short, he now knows what he's singing about, and it comes through. His voice is filled with emotion and character as he sings these songs, just perfect for him at this stage of his life. He can still deliver the lyrics in a way that makes you feel the emotion he is feeling as he sings. I hope he makes more CD's. I'll buy every one. He's the best sentimental love song singer ever, even at age 87. God Bless Eddy Arnold. He truly is one of a kind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eddy Arnold "After All These Years", August 20, 2005

"After All These Years"
Eddy Arnold

Is it possible that after 60 years, 100 albums and at the age of 87, Eddy Arnold has produced his greatest CD. As with Olivier and Shakespeare, "After All these Years" combines a legendary performer (Eddy Arnold) with the finest writers (Cindy Walker, Ken Lerey, Jim Weatherly and Roger Miller). His once smooth velvety baritone has matured into a deep bass filled with emotion. Eddy Arnold is not just a singer. He is a performer of music. He makes you feel the lyrics.

Eddy Arnold's greatest forte is love songs. One might wonder what Mr. Arnold could add to a love song that he hadn't already in his illustrious recording career. Like Fonda in "On Golden Pond" Arnold delivers a masterful performance on "If I had lived my Life Without You" and "After all these Years". This is not puppy love. He sings about a mature love. A love that can be only understood after a lifetime relationship. (Eddy has been married to his lovely wife Sally for 64 years)

At a time that our love ones are overseas, "I'm Gonna Be Home" is simply heartbreaking and brings special meaning with lyrics "Gonna be walking through the door, gonna be wrestling with the kids, I know it might not be tomorrow, who knows what might be tomorrow, I just pray, I'm gonna be home."

He will make you sad as he longingly sings "If Only" and "When I Dream". Make you smile with a whimsical "King of the Road".

Included on this CD is a song that Eddy co-wrote with Cindy Walker, "You Don't Know Me". By evidence of this CD "After All these Years" we know who Eddy Arnold is. Throughout all musical genres, Eddy Arnold is the greatest performer of songs of the heart.

We realize with sadness when Eddy performs his swan song "To Life", this is his final studio recording.

"Cherish this music and cherish this man. We will not see his like again." (Robert Oermann 2005 from linear note)

I listen to this album over and over. His singing reminds me of times gone by. Eddy does a superb job on each song. It's not a young Eddy Arnold, but it's the best of Todays Eddy Arnold.
