Editorial Reviews

2008 release, the seventh studio album from The Voice AKA Russell Watson. People Get Ready sees the operatic tenor taking a new direction. Backed by Amy Winehouse's band, Watson delivers an album of Easy Listening, Soul and Rock standards and, for the first time, does away with the classical crossover songs that made him a household name throughout the UK. 14 tracks including 'Me & Mrs. Jones', 'Georgia' and 'Papa Was A Rolling Stone'. Universal.

5.0 out of 5 stars I AM AMAZED!!!, February 5, 2009

I was a bit hesitant about ordering this CD...I am a big fan of Russell Watson in the classical genre that we associate with him...but after reading the reviews both here and at Amazon U.K....I decided to try it. I am truly amazed at how good he sounds!! He can absolutely sing anything! Every track is excellent. The House of the Rising Sun is the best! How a tenor could get his voice to such a low, rich register is beyond me...but proves how very versatile he is. Don't hesitate to buy this...it doesn't disappoint.

I fell in love with the voice of Russell Watson when I first saw him on a morning tv program after his first CD was released. I have followed his career (via internet)since and have all his CD's, DVD's and his autobiography. This latest CD is fantastic! No matter what he sings, classics, soul, blues, pop........I'm never dissapointed. Even after two major operations for brain tumors, he's back and better then ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Consistently the best, January 9, 2009

Every since I first heard Russell Watson I enjoyed his voice and was hooked. Once again he is consistently the best male vocalist ever. This man can sing anything. I especially love this album since it brings me back some years to some very special moments. If you could wear out a CD by playing it over and over again, I'm sure that this is one.
