4.0 out of 5 stars MICHAEL BOLTON DELIVERS..., February 23, 2001

I recently found this CD buried along with a pile of other old CDs which I had never played. Having read so many negative reviews about this Michael Bolton CD, I thought that I would see for myself what all the fuss was about. Well, it just goes to show you that one just can't believe everything that one hears.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this is a pretty decent CD with a lot of great songs on it. The only jarring note was the track for "White Christmas" which just did not seem to fit with the rest of the songs on the album.

I think Michael Bolton is a pretty decent vocalist. When singing pulse pounding songs, such as "Hold On, I'm Coming" or "Bring It on Home to Me", he sounds like a mellower Tom Jones. When he sings ballads, such as "Yesterday", his somewhat scratchy vocalization is reminiscent of Rod Stewart. How bad can that be?

5.0 out of 5 stars A treat for the Boltheads, September 29, 2006

If you've never heard any of Bolton's work, I don't recommend this being the first thing you listen to by him. But if you enjoy his music, this album is great for the collection. "To Love Somebody" was the highlight of the album, and his rendition of "Drift Away" was magnificent. And all in between was great. Great for Boltheads, but I recommend getting introduced to his other work before nabbing this one.

What a fantastic album! Michael Bolton`s voice is as gorgeous as the timeless songs he is singing. He has given fresh new lives to these songs.
"To Love Somebody", "Knock On Wood", "Bring It On Home To Me" are favorites of mine, but I love the others songs as well. A perfect choise for a wonderful singer!
This album is truly a classic and no one sings with more emotion than Michael Bolton!!!
