5.0 out of 5 stars HIS BEST, March 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Blue Sugar (Audio CD)

In my opinion, this is Zucchero's best album yet. It is sweet and sad and sensitive all at the same time. I really don't have a favorite track for the simple reason that all are wonderful! As Italy's premier pop artist, you can't go wrong with either Zucchero or this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best album in my big collection, April 6, 2001

This review is from: Blue Sugar (Audio CD)

I was strolling on the Champs Elysee in Paris a few years back, wandered into the big Tower Record store and "found" this amazing album being played at many of their headphone "listening" stations. It was a must buy, must have, must play repeatedly album. There is not a bad song on the album. Zucchero's voice has always reminded me of another of my favorite singers ... Joe Cocker. So, if you love Joe Cocker's raw, gut-wrenching, spine-tingling, emotive music ... buy anything you can find by Zucchero ... you'll love the sugar-man, as I do. This is definately a DID (desert island disc) ... the one you'd most want to have with you to survive SURVIVOR!

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Zucchero cd...., July 24, 2005

This review is from: Blue Sugar (Audio CD)

I had the Italian version of this for a couple of years and despite not understanding what was being said the music and melodies were so wonderful it didn't matter. I loved it. Then, I stumbled across this version that has mostly English lyrics being sung and grabbed it up. What was already one of my all time fave cd's finally spoke to me in a language I understood and I was not disappointed.

As one critic here said there is only one song on this cd that is a dog-the Donkey Tonk...Otherwise this is a near perfect grouping of beautiful songs and enthralling melodies. I cannot fathom WHY Zucchero is not wildly popular in the U.S. You are missing out if you have not 'discovered' Zucchero by now.

One thing I have come to realize over the years of collecting Zucchero's cd's is that you will normally find at least 2 versions of every release. One that is pretty much all Italian and one that has some (if not all) English lyrics. I usually end up getting both. Sometimes the song list is slightly different. Amazon.com is a great place to be able to compare the song titles, ie: whether they are Eng/Ital and the list. There is one cd, his "Greatest Hits" that I think I have at least 4 versions on my shelf. In this case French is one of the versions. So look around and experiment with what works for you.

Give Zucchero a try!
