Editorial Reviews

This functions a bit as a musical biography, but it's a newly-written one, since all of the songs are new recordings. Mardo...see site for more info.

3.0 out of 5 stars Benny's Back in Town!, September 24, 2002

I wish Benny had done more new material on this new CD. But I understand why he did it. Most of the album, I really like. I think I NEED A MIRACLE is number #1 material. And I also think his renditions of I WANT IT ALL, written by Mrs. Roy Orbison, and FOOL FOR FALLING IN LOVE, by Roy Orbison are the next to follow. I was very disappointed in I'M GONNA MAKE YOU LOVE ME, and yes, some of the songs do sound like they were recorded with minimal orchestra and studio time. But some of it just sings! I bought it because I believe in Benny, and I believe this work WILL ultimately prove itself out in the long run! Had he been backed by a MAJOR recording studio, no telling what this CD would have sounded like, rehashed music or no!

5.0 out of 5 stars A CD that rivals Never Run Never Hide, May 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Journey Through Time (Audio CD)

"I Want It All" is a truly amazing song, as is the accoustic version of "Into The Night" and "Tonight" (originally release in 1985 on an obscure label). If you loved Benny's records from the early 80s, buy this one, you will love it! This is the classic Benny that you all want to remember. Minimal synthesized music, no record company pushing him to record music Benny shouldn't. Don't listen to the few naysayers, this album is great, his best record since "Never Run Never Hide".

1.0 out of 5 stars Rehashed trash from a has-been ! ! !, January 8, 2003

Not again! This is about the 5th time that Benny has attempted to re-record his old "hits" (again), with each new recording being worse than the previous. Listen, either get the rights to the original songs and put out the actual albums on cd, or put out a greatest hits cd with the original versions on it. This guy has been milking his popularity in several regional areas (I'm from central New York) for the last 20 years or so, and the guy looks like a sad version of Elvis in the mid-70's. He's a singer who had promise 20 years back, but screwed up his career with bad business deals and substance abuse. Now he is the stereotypical lounge singer, appearing for Christmas shows each year in the central New York area! Enough already! Either re-release the originals or give it up!!!!!! This album is awful !
