4.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Dream Weaver, January 5, 2004

By	susumu-5 (Japan) - See all my reviews

Gary Wright is one of 70's greatest songwiters that had worked with a number of great talents before their glorious 80s days including Mick Jones(Foreigner) and Steve Winwood during Spooky Tooth times. He is also known as the trendsetter in keyboard/synth featured techno pop. So this compilation which came out in 1998 is sort of unknown treasures of 70s that finally see the light of day.

GET ON THE RIGHT ROAD and I KNOW A PLACE really rock somewhat Three Dog Night styled. STAND FOR OUR RIGHTS is one of my favorites other than huge hits such as DREAMWEAVER and LOVE IS ALIVE. KEEP LOVE IN YOUR SOUL featuring Steve Lukather as guitar solo is something like TOTO material while ARE YOU WEEPING is Steve Winwood trademark style.

Highly recommended if you like 70s mainstream American Pop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Collection of Gary Wright's Career, November 30, 2004

By	Mike S (Front Royal,Virginia United States) - See all my reviews

This cd really thoroughly covers the highlights of Gary Wright's musical career from the the Spooky Tooth and Wonder Wheel days through his huge solo successes of the 70's all the way to the present. All his hits are here Dream Weaver,Love Is Alive,I Really Wanna Know You,Two Faced man,etc. It's worth buying since most of Gary Wright's solo cds are out of print in the USA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gary Wright, Many Lives...., April 1, 2000

By	E. J Petersen "mizarkey" (Central California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was a little sad he chose the "Best of the DreamWeaver" for the title of this compilation. I understand the marketing aspect of it though and I hope it's a financial success. The two previously unreleased tracks were very welcome and I love "Someone Like You". It reminds me of a song Gary wrote for the movie "Endangered Species" that can only be heard in the background of one scene. If it had been up to me this cd would have had twice as many songs...

Hopefully he'll be able to pull all his live performances on shows like "Midnight Special" and "Don Kirshner's Rock concert" and put out a 'best of' live video...
