Although the cover says "Recent Recordings by the Original Artist", FAITHFULLY is a budget reissue of the ONE CLEAR VOICE CD, the original issue on River North Records being out of print. It has different artwork than the original and the songs have been reordered. It is a must for fans of Chicago and Peter Cetera, but true fans will already have the original.

This CD puts you in a good mood. Love it and would recommend it.

Peter Cetera is a singer extraordinaire and you never lose buying any of his CDs. FAITHFULLY is one of his best works yet. Of course, I have been listening to him since his "Chicago" days. I will take a chance on his CDs anytime of the day.
With Peter, you can't go wrong.

I don't care of this was a reissue of "One Clear Voice". I love this CD and I can listen to this all the way through and never get tired of it... That is rare in the case of most CDs... I think that his voice reaches your heart and touches the very pit of your soul... This man has quality music and has entertained me since I was 4 and soon I will be 40 and I can be sure that he will contenue to uplift and entertain me as he always has... If you like music to help you relax and releave stress then this is the one for you....

I remember when Saturday Night Live did a spoof of Irene Cara from Fame singing the theme song from the movie as "Same:" "Same! I sing the same song forever." Maybe Peter should have gone that route instead of this album. I just got through listening to it, and have decided he should never have left Chicago. Sure, it's a nice, slick adult contemporary recording, but it's also the same exact song with different lyrics eleven times in a row. Sometimes he duets with two females who sound exactly alike--Crystal Bernard (Hee-hee-hee, gimmie a break!) and Ronna Reeves, whose unique vocal style even manages to get the authenticity sucked out of it here. Even his remake of the beautiful "Happy Man" from his Chicago days is reduced to an extremely unattractive entrail of itself.

So why 2 stars instead of one? Production quality is key here, and it's nice wallpaper music for wallpapering by. Beside that, it's Peter, and at least his voice is good. Other than that, this is a lackluster piece of offal that I wasted under ten bucks on. My second and last solo Cetera album, I suggest you steer clear of this album unless you find 11 versions of one song entertaining.
