3.0 out of 5 stars Ex-Fleetwood Mac member takes on Bob, July 16, 2000

This review is from: Bob Welch Looks At Bop (Audio CD)

Almost 15 years after his last LP bombed, Bob Welch comes back on a much, much smaller scale. Bob Welch Looks at Bop is his musical tribute to Be-Bop, the musical revolution that took pace in the mid-forties. Welch begins with a roaring jazz number called "Bird." God only knows who is playing the instruments on this record, but the record as a whole sounds as if it was recorded predominately live. Some of the record though, could've used some mixing. Songs like "Pretty Things" are just pointless and have no substance. "Hustler" takes off of an old Fleetwood Mac number and sounds like he's dealing drugs in an underground sex asylum. "I Got Rhythm" sounds like he has rhythm, but not much else. No soul or depth, his vocals are so ordinary and doesn't stick to anything. The album as a whole can aquire attention after a few listens, but in the future, Welch should actually try and impress us on the first listen.

2.0 out of 5 stars Awful, April 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bob Welch Looks At Bop (Audio CD)

I cannot believe how bad this CD is. He turned a Fleetwood Mac song of his ("Silver Heels") into something sick and perverse. The rest sounds like he lost his rhythm, and his voice is hoarse, which might be due to age, but that is no excuse for a man with brilliant song writing abilities to do something as bad as this.

This review is from: Bob Welch Looks At Bop (Audio CD)

I agree with the above review of bob welch's new cd.I was a fan of his mac and paris recordings but not so much of his solo albums even thou i thought the other one from 1979 was his most non comercial of his solo albums! That also was my favorite of his solo records! I'm glad to see bob recording again and trying and exploring to sounds! I hope he continues to explore different music styles and does not try to do another french kiss thing!Hey bob how about doing a blues cd next?(Bob Welch Looks At The Blues)
