5.0 out of 5 stars More Than The Best!, November 9, 2003

When Burton Cummmings left the "Guess Who", it was a real test for his talent. This Rhino collection proves that Cummings is a long lasting Canadian/World treasure of an artist. Most people will only recognize "Stand Tall", a huge hit from the seventies, but there is so much more to this twenty song collection. "I'm Scared" is as soulful as Cummings gets and "Never Had A Lady Before" is a romantic masterpiece. For bouncy rock 'n roll, there is the clever "Charlemagne" and "My Own Way To Rock". Never one to ignore his balladeer side, Cummings gives great performances on the essential "Timeless Love" and "I Will Play A Rhapsody". Other than the first cut, "Fine State Of Affairs" should have a been a huge single. It is one of the most finely crafted pop singles he has ever created and a testament to this fine collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Burton is THE voice of rock and roll., June 7, 1999

Aside from having a vocal range that most singers would die for, Burton also brings classical training in flute and piano to mix in with his rock and roll roots. He can rock like Jim Morrison and then belt out a pop standard Bobby Darin would envy. If you've ever been in love and lost, his song "Stand Tall" will immediately transport you back to that moment in time. See him live if you can as he is as good live as in the studio. Buy two of this CD as you will wear one out.
