5.0 out of 5 stars Cochrane Delivers with "No Stranger", November 17, 2006

By

This review is from: No Stranger (Audio CD)

Tom Cochrane is "No Stranger" when it comes to his distinct vocals and outstanding songwriting. After an eight-year hiatus since, Tom delivers a well-worthwhile CD.
The opening track "The Party's Not Over" is an appropriate opening as if Tom is saying, "here I am", as it perfectly segues into "Glide". While Tom's vocals and songwriting withstands the hands of time, the disc lacks any rockers. Mostly a softer sound, perhaps the only up-tempo tracks include "Didn't Mean", "Rough and Tumble", "Spirit in the Sky" and the haunting "Since You Left Me". While Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky" appears to be an odd choice for Cochrane to cover, he adopts the song as one of his own. Instead of performing the song in the familiar sense, Tom breathes new life into the 60's classic and interprets it so uniquely, that it sounds like it is a brand new song. Overall, Tom has not disappointed this long time fan. Excellent song writing, guitar playing, and vocals, has proven once again that Tom is NO Stranger to the music scene.

Personal Favs:
White Horse
Didn't Mean
Since You Left Me
Rough and Tumble

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the wait!, December 14, 2006

I've been waiting eight years since the release of X-Ray Sierra, Tom's last album of new material. Great vocals and lyrics, a little more mellow than previous albums, but worth the wait!

An ordinarily satisfactory release from talented Tom Cochrane, but this is no "Mad Mad World" by any stretch of imagination, but has a few gems interpersed within this album. My favourite song from this album is track 2 "Glide": Life's a highway it's been said, Sometimes the road gets rough it hurts my head...,Tom Cochrane sings, great song! Other notable songs are "The Party's Not Over", "White Horse", "Didn't Mean", "Rough And Tumble", "Out Of My Head", "Deep Breath" & "Northern Star". Overrall quality of the release is satisfactory but well below par that of the landmark 1991 album release "Mad Mad World". It's rather mellow, just a bit better than "X-ray Sierra" album (his weakest). Hoping for a better next release by the talented Tom Cochrane!
