4.0 out of 5 stars Stands its Place, March 31, 2002

This review is from: The Boystown Tapes (Audio CD)

Upon hearing that Tony Carey was about to release a new cd I immediatly, ordered a copy with a friend (who has a credit card). It arrived quickly and the disc flew into the cd player. Solitary Man, right on, this is going to be a good cd. We both agreed, the cd is a very good cd, some tracks were not as powerful as the others and seemed like the order was wrong, as in one before the other, sound wise they would have been better in the reverse. But this is a damned fine cd anyway. Some reviews dont give it the respect it deserves, but they had there say, they either liked or didnt, I liked.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good cd not quite great, however, May 30, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Boystown Tapes (Audio CD)

This cd is very good in some spots i.e I don't even know her name, when all is said and done, looking at the moon, boystown, it's a beautiful world. I've had it for about two years now and still listen to it. I do like to skip over some songs on it..one thing I can fault with it. It's not his best cd and it's not his least cd..it depends on you're taste. I think most carey fans like the cd..so I say go ahead and buy it if straddling the fence.

3.0 out of 5 stars Awaited Yet I Still Hesitate, March 28, 2002

This review is from: The Boystown Tapes (Audio CD)

This cd fans have waited years for. It is smooth sounding has quite a few good tracks, my favorite being Solitary Man. Mr. Carey's voice was meant for this song, yet others such as Mrs. Lincoln....well that's up to the true fan who will enjoy anything and everything. My favorites on the cd being Matchgirl, Only the Young and A Long Way From Home, of course along with Solitary Man. So Four songs out of 14 is pretty good, seeing these days when we do buy a cd any cd that you want an original of, falls into the same category, no matter who the artist. I do like the hidden track as well, a funky kind of song, that was a surprise to all. Okay so I've moved up to five songs, better yet. I purchased this cd second hand from a friend who had purchased two, one for a friend, but the friend had no good things to say pertaining to the cd. So I review and give three stars for the tracks and also production quality.
