Nice audio engineering and sonic quality., April 6, 1999
This review is from: Nightwalker (Audio CD)
"Nightwalker" by Gino Vannelli is an album with a lot of syncopated rhythms and funk. Tracks like "Seek and You Will Find," "Santa Rosa," "Nightwalker," and "I Believe" are really interesting. If Gino would only get back into the groove again. His last two jazz albums are nice, but they put me to sleep. I enjoyed his music more when it was up-tempo and got people moving, like with "People Gotta Move" on his Powerful People album. That is how he started, energetic, but I guess in his older age he is mellowing out, but I'm not. Take care, Gino, and let's hear something with LIFE. John R. in Dallas

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT, January 18, 2005
This review is from: Nightwalker (Audio CD)
Love this album. I have the album and it is just great. Gino is like no other performer. My only regret is that I have never seen him in person. He has a wonderful, rich and beautiful voice and his songs are powerful and never commercial. Whenever I play a song of his from this one for someone that doesn't know of him they all like "Stay With Me" which has an urgent, rock feel to it. His emotional delivery and unique choice of words are great. I love this one, not only for the hit "Living Inside Myself" which is a classic, but "Santa Rosa" which is so fun to sing along to. This one, is very very good. He's the best.

Powerful People was hard to top., February 19, 2000
This review is from: Nightwalker (Audio CD)
Gino Vanelli and his brothers Joe and Ross are some of the finest musicians I've ever heard. Their music goes deep down in my soul and leaves me wanting more. I do believe "Powerful People" (The album) was their best. "Nightwalker" brings back vivid memories of almost being fired when I worked for 100,000 watt FM rock station in Cape Canaveral, Florida when the album was released. As music director, I chose "Living Inside Myself" to be put on the play list. A new station consultant, however, disagreed with that decision and had the record pulled, accusing me of programming "New Music" (How else does it get to be "Old Music?"). Anyway, now I play whatever I want whenever I want and Gino and his friends are high on my own personal playlist. I like the album, but none of them compare to "Powerful People".
