Brian's voice is just superb. I saw him live in Ireland last week and he just blew me away. The power of his voice, the sheer entertainer in him was just superb. And he stuck around the concert afterwards to talk with fans and take photos with them. Now that's someone who isn't full of himself. Not many entertainers would do that.

I've had the pleasure of seeing Brian perform live three times when he came to NY for Riverdance. He's an amazing singer and performer. I get goosebumps just listening to him croon. This album really makes you feel as if each word is coming from his heart.Some of the songs are just so personal it's like he's sitting down talking to ya. Anywho, I highly recommend this CD.(And did I mention he's absolutely gorgeous !)

I was first introduced to Brian Kennedy because I am a huge fan of British singer/actor Michael Ball... with whom Brian has co-written a number of songs. (Brian also appears on Michael's "Christmas" cd dueting "Silent Night.") His voice I can only describe as beautiful... Try this album and see for yourself!

The tracks are mainly soft pop/rock with some Celtic influence on some (though maybe I just think that because Kennedy has an adorable Irish accent!) :) I know that Kennedy is a great fan of Joni Mitchell's and their styles are not altogether distant. Most of the songs on this album Brian wrote or co-wrote, and I love his lyrics! My favourite is probably the cover track, "Get on With Your Short Life" which is definitely a feel-good song. Many of the other lyrics and medleys are great as well... I'd highly recommend this cd to anyone that has heard Brian and would like to hear more.

One final note, this is the UK release of the album, which features several more tracks (including a remix of "Get on With Your Short Life") than the original Irish release. I'd recommend either CD!

Get on With Your Short LIfe is a great cd for traveling as well as lounging around on the sofa. The songs make me think as I am enjoying his voice and styles.

Every possible CD that Brian has made is totally superb. Brian is totally awesome, I had the privelege of being at several of his concerts back in Northern Ireland and not only is he worth listening too his is a humble yet exceptionally talented man. Try to buy as many of his albums as you can, he is big back home!
