5.0 out of 5 stars Phil Vassar is a phenomenal artist!, March 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Phil Vassar (Audio CD)

When I heard Carlene on CMT, I was shocked that Phil Vassar was releasing an album! I've loved the songs that he's written, like I'm Alright and Bye, Bye (Jo Dee Messina), and was very anxious to see if he would shine vocally too. There are three aspects that I love about this album, and here they are, in order: Lyrical and musical quality (what Vassar is best at!), piano structure, and Vassar's vocal enthusiasm. His voice is very, very good, but not amazing, yet he has a vocal strength and familiarity with these songs that can't be missed. And he plays it up in this album! It is very entertaining. The piano is foundational to every song (Vassar has mastered the piano as well) and reminds me of Billy Joel, to an extent. The songs are great, especially Carlene, Six-Pack Summer, and Another Day in Paradise. I'm completely impressed by this artist- he co-wrote every song on the album, plays the fundamental instrument (and rocks at it), and sings his heart out! This is a great album with phenomenal songs! You'll be glad you bought it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Country Star!, December 18, 2000

By 

Bryan (Newport Beach, Ca) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Phil Vassar (Audio CD)

Simply stated---Phil Vassar is the most under rated country music singer in the industry. In any industry for that matter. This CD is filled with great songs that make you want to sing along with. His great hits that are heard on the radio such as, "Carlene" and "Just Another Day in Paradise" do not take over the CD in any way! Any song on this CD could easily be a hit: "That's When I Love You", "Joe and Rosalita", Six-Pack Summer", "Lucky as Me",......... I could go on to name the whole CD. The CD is filled with a great mixture of songs. Fast songs, slow songs......just a great CD to listen to. If you like country music and if you don't like country music, this CD is a great buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lookin' good Phil Vassar, February 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Phil Vassar (Audio CD)

This is an excellent CD. The first single, Carlene, is an example of Vassar's writing ability as well his singing ability. The song is fun and great to sing along to. Vassar used to sing in a club/restaurant in the Nashville area and anyone who heard him (and sang along in person) can testify that he is an excellent performer. Vassar really knows how to bring the audience into his performance. I can't say enough good things and I can't wait to hear more!
