Ok, after you have gone back stage at a local arts college when Orleans was an Ithaca band just starting out, and you even went back stage and had beverage with the drummer, you are bringing something to the listening. So this is not an objective music critic opinion. Hearing them live in a small venue back in the sixties with the smell if incense in the air, no one inhaled, and appreciating their virtuosity expressed in hard to resist music, was simply great. And regardless of how many times I hear "You're still the one" I still want to sing.... Whoa, TMI?

Great effort by one of the best and most underrated bands of all time. Orleans has always combined pertinent lyrics on a variety of topics, great harmonies and very strong instrumentals - this cd has all of the tracks on the original recordings of their 2nd and 3rd albums: Let There Be Music and Waking & Dreaming - the disc entitled Still the One is fine but leaves off some outstanding cuts including The Path (awesome harmonies),You've Given Me Something (great feel good, lyrics and yet it rocks),Let There Be Music (one of their classics) or Golden State (nice vocal by John Hall)- now if they would only release their original album on cd because it is a 5 star as well.

One the of super groups if the 1980's who churned out a string of chart smashing hits. Through the late 1970's and well into the 80's these guys set the standard. As well as being great muso's they were also well known as teen heart throbs with their sophisticated soul music and masculine good looks. Groups like CHicago, Hall and Oates, Starship, Lionel Ritchie and even such diverse artists as Guns and Roses and Michael Jackson were influenced by these guys.
