5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular Vocal Harmonies, March 11, 2000

Introduced to these artists at a Lowen & Navarro concert, I was pleasantly surprised to hear such well-performed and conceived vocal harmonies. If you enjoy multi-part vocals by such artists as Restless Heart, The Little River Band, The Eagles, or Lowen & Navarro themselves, you will like this group's work on this album and their most recent, "Spin Art."

5.0 out of 5 stars Breath taking music, October 3, 1998

When I heared the Lennon boys for the first time on Dutch Television (2-meter Sessie) I was astonished that in this modern time 4 people can make such timeless music. After this broadcast I bought the CD immediately. I play this CD a lot in my car and at home. Even my youngest son (6 year) says about "running home" - "this is my song". I hope that Venice will give a concert in Holland again (they only did so once, but at that time I had never heared of them). I'm looking forward for their new CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, May 20, 2001

The only reason that I do not give this CD five stars is because I am very particular about what I give a "perfect" rating to. If there was a four and 1/2, I would give it.

The harmonies are to die for.....the Eagles with soulful lyrics. I have had this CD for two days and have played "Never Coming Back" and "Running Home" a dozen times apiece. They are spectacular songs that are in a league of their own.

It's funny how the more I listen to this thing (listening to it now), the more I enjoy it. I guess that's true for many of the great CDs.

I like it, in a strange way, the way I like Jeff Buckley "Grace", Wilco "Summerteeth", and Beck "Odelay"...I discover something new to enjoy at each replay.

This is one of those bands that I get very selfish about. I wish for their sakes that they achieve great success, but I like that I am one of the few that knows their talent and can keep them to myself. that's how I felt about John Hiatt ten years ago.

Despite this, buy this CD. Play "Never Coming Back" about 20 times, then try to tell me something better that has been produced int he last five years (Beck doesn't count).
