Lacking in something.
Being a big Eddie Money fan I waited anxiously for this CD and finally got it. And then I played and listened to it.. twice, just to be sure. The good points are... Great song choices, couldn't get much better than this selection for a rock revival. Great musicians and music. Decent sound, although I think a little tweaking would have worked here. The bad point, for me, was Eddie's voice. I know it's not going to be as good as it was... and boy was it good! But for some reason it just doesn't work here. 'Land of A Thousand Dances' seems to be the standout here.. his voice, the music and background all seem to meld perfectly. On all the other tracks his voice seems to be 'seperate' from the music and background. Almost as if they were recorded seperately and then just layered and nothing else done. I was a bit disappointed but still happy to know that Mr Money is still in the game. I think with better production this could have been a more polished gem and I do hope he gives it another shot in that direction. For having one of the stronger voices in rock, I think the man deserves better than this.

Out of the Money,

This review is from: Wanna Go Back (Audio CD)
Having been a big Eddie Money fan since his debut in 1977, I was excited to see him come out with a collection of re-makes from the 60's. On paper, I didn't think anyone could be a better choice for the great list of songs that he chose to cover. The bad news is, this CD sounds like outtakes from American Idol. His voice is detached, weak, and buried in the mix. I kept expecting the thin sound to open up, but it doesn't. To sum it up, great songs, poor execution.

(NEW) Eddie Money Release 2006,
By M. Whit "Lucas" (White, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wanna Go Back (Audio CD)
Eddie's new CD, Wanna Go Back, is his first studio effort since "Ready Eddie" was released in 1999. On this CD, Eddie reaches back to when he first began performing with his band, The Grapes of Wrath. At the time he was 15 years old and still known as Eddie Mahoney, the kid from Long Island . He gives outstanding vocal performances on such sixties classics as Jackie Wilson's "Higher & Higher" and The Rascals "Good Lovin", just to name a few. His 17 year-old daughter, Jessica, makes her recording debut on the classic duet "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, as well as singing with her dad on several other tunes. All the selections were hand-picked by Eddie and were some of his strongest influences. Eddie called upon his longtime keyboardist, Randy Forrester, to produce this CD with him. The recording was done in Sausalito , CA during the fall and winter of 2005. An all-star cast of San Francisco Bay Area musicians were called in to perform the tracks, as well as members of Eddie's touring band. The result is magical. This CD is getting fantastic initial reviews by both the music industry and by people who have actually purchased the CD. This CD is a must have for true Eddie Money fans.
