5.0 out of 5 stars I buy everything Chris records., March 5, 2009

I really love Chris' voice. He has to be one of the greatest singer- songwriters of all time. Most of the tracks are really good. But as usual I really love the one song (USA version of the Cd) that was written by Chris. I am referring to "Footsteps" I highly recommend this CD. I can't wait for his next album. He doesn't produce them fast enough for me. I really don't like most of the music being recorded today. This is real music.

5.0 out of 5 stars de Burgh's interpretation of musical influences, January 16, 2009

Excellent recording of de Burgh's favorite songs by artists that influenced his career: Beatles, Dylan, Paxton, Seeger--to name a few. His rendition of Turn, Turn, Turn rivals McQuinn's 12 string guitar style; the three Lennon/McCartney songs performed with little variation from the original; even American Pie fresh and new vocal. De Burgh does justice to all the covers. Well worth it--add it to your collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars Chris de Burgh's "Footsteps" - Classic Covers, February 19, 2009

Chris de Burgh covers some well-chosen classic jam favorites...with the exception of Toto's "Africa" which I've never much cared for. His unique treatment of Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower" grows on you after a few listens. What de Burgh does with Peter, Paul & Mary's "Polly Von" alone is worth the price of admission.
