Clay shines on this album. He brings a refreshing change to these songs. I love the Big Band sound and his voice is awesome. Clay sounds very relaxed and you can here the joy in his voice. Clay took Unchained Melody and made it a brand new song and it's awesome!!! Clay sings Moon River with a yearning, it makes you want to close your eyes and let your mind drift down that River and wonder where it will take you. Suspicious Minds is very good and to be honest I don't think there is one song on this album I don't like. This album is truly his element and he excells in every song. What a voice this man has, he is amazing. I highly recommend this album.

This DVD of Clay's Concert thrilled my daughter and me. Not only can you hear his great voice, you get to see him sing.
These are the same songs that are on his CD, TRIED AND TRUE, but seeing him sing them with his facial expressions adds a lot.
I love ALL of the songs, especially BUILD ME UP BUTTERCUP, MOON RIVER, MISTY, SUSPICIOUS MINDS, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE, WHAT KIND OF FOOL AM I?,CRYING (WITH LINDA EDER), and especially the encore, UNCHAINED MELODY.
The lighting on this DVD is interesting. The Band and backup singers add to the fun. Clay moves around the stage and gives us a few stories. He surprises us with a song by Ruben Stoddard.
If you couldn't get to Raleigh in March to see this concert, this is the next best thing. It is surprising how different songs show different parts of Clay's talent.
I recommennd that you buy this with the extras and the short CD so you can listen to Clay whereever you are. Excellent DVD. I hope he makes one of Broadway songs soon. If you want to get SOLTAIRE, buy Clay's Playlist.
