I'm not sure I understand all of the opposition to this album, especially the criticisms that Springfield has gone "easy listening." Sure, Springfield rocked in the 80s, but I've been hearing his songs played on adult "soft rock" radio stations for years; this certainly isn't the first time that he has been mellow. I admit, his voice has become weaker and more raspy-sounding, but hey, most of his fans are middle-aged now too, right?

I thought Springfield did a nice job with some 80s one-hit wonders, including "I'm Not in Love," "Life in a Northern Town," and "Broken Wings," all of which were at least as good as the original versions. Of course, he couldn't quite live up to John Lennon on "Imagine," but still, this was a decent interpretation. However, I think I most enjoyed the songs that I did not personally recognize, including "Miss You Nights" and "Blue Rose." Overall, I'm happy I bought this album, and I remain a loyal Springfield fan.

I was thrilled to hear Rick's renditions of these great songs in which some I have never ever heard anyone cover. Some great songs such as "Broken Wings", "Human" and "I'm Not in Love" are covered with great modern production. It's a cd that you can sit back, listen, and relax. Rick's voice is top-notch and his recordings just keep getting better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Didn't expect it to be SO GREAT!, July 12, 2005

As with the previous poster, I wasn't anticipating a remake of old songs as much as I would a CD of original material. That makes this CD all the more enjoyable. ANYONE would love this CD -- Springfield fan or not. It has a great sound, easy to listen to, great new interpretations of songs you will recognize. Rick has put together a great set of songs and he sounds amazing. The CD is soulful and intimate and a good reason to revisit these great songs.
