4.0 out of 5 stars Worth listening to for JW fans, January 27, 2007

While there are no new materials in this album, remaking of some of the songs are definitely worth listening to for JW fans. When Bad English albums are selling for pennies these days, one should not expect a huge success from remaking of Bad English songs like When I see you smile. However, as a long time Bad English and JW fan, I have no complaints. Missing You featuring Allison Krauss is definitely worth listening to.

Hey guys I might be a bit on the young side.(30 to be exact.) This John Waite CD is a future classic his re-working of again "Missing You" with his new girlfriend Alison K. they are both fabulous together singing this painful little song. You know what its not that bad at all. I got my family friend into John she loves "In Dreams" and "Isn't It Time" I love his cover of Bob Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited". He and I love Bob Dylan that is cool I said "Thanks Man For Cover Dylan Again". I love "Isn't It Time" Great song by The Babys who knew John would be successful solo artist. You Rock Man This is why I love John Waite.

5.0 out of 5 stars JOHN ROCKS!!, June 6, 2008

This review is from: Downtown: Journey of a Heart (Audio CD)

This CD is excellent but then I am biased as I have loved John Waite as a singer since first hearing Headfirst! I didn't buy The Hard Way but recently started getting into his music again after a few years and purchased this one, so the songs from that CD were new to me. I think The Hard Way and New York City Girl are two of the best songs he has ever done - he is an amazing singer of not only ballads but rock songs as well. The new versions of In Dreams, Downtown, Isn't It Time and When I See You Smile are awesome - I like them better than the originals! He sings them so beautifully and his voice is more upfront on the acoustic versions. Usually songs don't sound that good when singers redo them but then John is not your usual singer! St. Patrick's Day is another gem. Anyone who loves John's singing should love this CD - especially with the revisited songs. There is rock, ballads and blues and a voice that will hit you right in your heart! To me, John is one of the best singers to come out of Britain in the 70's and one of the best songwriters - he's right up there with Freddie Mercury in my opinion. We can only hope that he will come out with another CD before long and tour again!
