5.0 out of 5 stars Genie on a table top, September 15, 2000

carlos alonso (Spain (Europe)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Famous Last Words (Audio CD)

After some years of relative obscurity Al came back with this wonderful work. I think 'Trains' is the best song in the album, but don't miss 'Charlotte Corday', 'Trespasser', 'Peter on the white sea' and the more cheerful 'Feel like' and 'Genie on a table top' Definitely a great album, which was followed in 1995 by the absolutely wonderful 'Between the wars'. Unfortunately, neither of the two had a great commercial success, and he continues as a 'cult singer/songwriter' In a few weeks he'll be releasing 'Down in the cellar' which I hope will be just as wonderful. I'm a hardcore Al fan. Did you notice?

5.0 out of 5 stars love Al, January 17, 2007

Just me "Karen" (Grand Terrace, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Famous Last Words (Audio CD)

Famous Last Words is a welcome addition to my Al Stewart collection. He has depth of meaning and humor. My teenagers really enjoyed the Hippopotamus Song even though this is not their usual style of music. Trains begins with a meloncholy sound reminiscent of his early work and ends with deep sadness. If you like this, you probably will also like Songs from the Cellar. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A CD Full of Smiles, March 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Famous Last Words (Audio CD)

Al Stewart just never misses! There is a very upbeat feel to this entire CD; it's refreshingly energizing (in contrast to Al's more thought-provoking productions, even when the topic is more serious than silly. The charmingly effusive "Feel Like" is a sets the cheery mood for the album. "Don't Forget Me" is a lovely, unexpectedly romantic tune, compelling me to remember my own partings, inevitably wiping away a tear as the song fades. "Genie on a Table Top" never fails to make me laugh with its sometimes outrageous similes (a simulated what????). "Trains" is evocative and haunting. And it's impossible not to play "Charlotte Corday" over and over again, a gentle little gem, beautifully performed.

As always, an excellent offering from Mr. Stewart.

2.0 out of 5 stars Uneven and Inconsistent - and that's being charitable.
Two and a half might me more on the money, but I feel this is closer to a 2 than to a 3.

While not without merit, most of this album is substandard Al Stewart. Read more
