Jim Capaldi is one of the worlds most underappreciated music artists. His songs are easily up there with many of rock's biggest stars. Of his albums, Some Come Running is the best. In my opinion, it is one of the finest 80's rock albums ever. It has a solid upbeat tone set into motion by "Something So Strong" in the beginning of the CD, followed by a variety of other 80s style songs. Most of it has a fast beat and is great for working out to or exercising. For the widely most popular song on the CD, "Something So Strong", imagine "Eye of the Tiger" with different, more rock style. You may have also heard this song playing in the end credits for the 80s martial arts movie, Best of the Best. Also in note of mentioning is the second track, "Love Used to be a Friend of Mine", which is a work of art. It's based on love, a reoccuring theme in many of his albums and songs. If you like 80s rock with a good upbeat sound and enticing lyrics, Jim Capaldi is your man. No better place to start than with his best CD, "Some Come Running".

This review is from: Some Come Running (Audio CD)

This has been a favorite album of mine for more than 15 years. I used to play it while mountain biking in Arizona while riding 10-15 miles out of town down a long mountain grade and then grinding back up that hill and back to town a couple of hours later. 'Something so strong", the first and best track on the cd, has to be one of the best songs ever to ride, run, or work out to ........ I challenge anyone who hears that song not to feel something stir inside of them to make them want to move out...ride, run, ..just do something ya spud:) This entire album rocks..the first seven songs are very upbeat, high energy rockers. The last one is slower...for winding down. Just eight songs..a tad on the short side (about 37 minutes), but this album really delivers. I can't believe I only have this one Capaldi album? I think I dropped the ball somewhere along the line, but I don't always feel obligated to own more than one album from an artist, especially when it is as strong as this one. Hard to see how another album of his could measure up. Get a hold of this album and you won't be sorry.

Jim Capaldi has an incredible voice and the lyrics to his songs are awesome. I have several hundred of LPs and CDs from the early '90s/late '80s, and this is one of my favorites. "Something So Strong" is definitely going on my list of the top 100 greatest songs.
