If you can get past the fact that these are not the original hit versions, you will find that this is a nice, mellow CD to listen to - just like I'd imagine going to see Michael live would be. The sound quality and the performance are both wonderful, with a "Mountain Stage" feel. The reworking of "Whenever I Call You Friend," with Alison Krauss from Union Station, is a revelation - I fell in love with the song all over again. If you find this one at a bargain price, which isn't hard to do, definitely give it a chance.

2.0 out of 5 stars DISAPPOINTMENT, January 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Then & Now (Audio CD)

I enjoy Michael Johnson's music. I have seen him perform live and always anticipate his music on the radio. I ordered "Then and Now" through Amazon because his music is so diffcult to find in any music store. Two songs on the CD,"This Night Won't Last Forever" and "Bluer Than Blue" are not the versions I have ever heard on the radio. They are more vocal than musical and left me disappointed with my purchase.

If you are looking to hear the original versions of Michael Johnson's "Bluer Than Blue" and "This Night Won't Last Forever" this is not the disc to buy. Then & Now contains newer versions of his greatest hits. If you will, this is more of an acoustic version of his original hits that will leave you disappointed.
