Oh how I like it, January 15, 2000
This review is from: How We Danced (Audio CD)
I used to think there was no Jim Capaldi CD/Album but 'Whale Meat Again'. How wrong I was. I still believe in 'WMA' but Oh How We Danced! Starting with Eve each song is a surprise. First horns, next strings, now it's searing guitar all with an early 70's sensibility that still seems fresh today. And always there is Capaldi's singing! I love Traffic's jazz influences and of course those influences are here too. Possibly the weakest link in this wonderful chain of songs is Open Your Heart. But save yourself for the last and title track. It is worth the wait! Similar artists? Traffic... or, this may seem strange but, Santana.

A superbly crafted piece of work!, November 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: How We Danced (Audio CD)
Capaldi shows a well toned talent for both melody and arrangement on this disc. The songs vary widely in texture and feel, but each of them contributes substantially to the overall performance. Capaldi's vocals are haunting, and the lyrics have a staying power that keeps them fresh a quarter century later.

Great 70's !!!, January 26, 2002
This review is from: How We Danced (Audio CD)
I often review blues music,so i'm a bluesfan.But for me it's impossible to be impassive in front of some kinds of works such this magnific Capaldi's album.What we extract from this "Oh How we Danced"is that long distance 70's tunes with great performances,full of beautiful moments we could only find in some works from that time.I consider Jim Capaldi one of the ícons of the early 70's.We still have the great Eric Burdon...Joe Cocker...all of them with stage presences that are actually,a rarity!!
This album involves me with great feelings during all the tracks
and this is music of great quality.Rarity!!!!
Unfortunately the youngers of today are hearing another kind of musics with poor quality!This is what they needed to get in their ears!!!
This is that kind of music only for people that know what is music of quality...great quality!!!!
The title track is fantastic,and "Oh How we Danced!!!"
