4.0 out of 5 stars Don't Expect Ambrosia , December 23, 2005

By	Mr. Music Critic (Georgia) - See all my reviews

This may very well be the best pop/jazz CD that has come out in 2005. The title track is superb with Ann Wilson. It along with the remakes of Biggest Part Of Me and You're The Only Woman have received a good deal of airplay on the radio. My favorites are Vertical Disbelief (That's Not Me) and Everlasting. This CD also has guest appearances by Steve Perry (Journey), Dewey Bunnell (America), Timothy B. Schmidt (Eagles) and of course his good friend David Benoit. You won't be disappointed with this one. Just don't expect the progressive rock sounds of Ambrosia. That type of music is probably gone forever. Thankfully, David Pack's lively voice is still around to remind us of a time that seems so long ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally - It's Here, August 11, 2005

By	Catherin Curry "Fearless Feline" (A distant planet) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

David Pack may be remembered by some as "that guy from Ambrosia" - and that's not necessarily a bad thing. However, since he went solo he has grown so much. He has written, sung with and produced some of the biggest and best in the business - and he has earned a lot of respect from all corners.

"The Secret of Movin' On" shows that respect starting on the cover. The cover is original artwork by Bernie Taupin (Elton John's writing partner). It is titled "Verticle Disbelief" (same as the second track of the cd)

Pack's friends show up to help him out on several tracks, starting with Anne Wilson of Heart on the title track - beautiful and such a strong opener.

Next is Dewey Bunnel of America on track 4 "Tell Her GoodBye" - a bluesy number that sits very well with everything around it

Track 5 "A Brand New Start" features a vocal duet with the song's co-writer Steve Perry - yes THAT Steve Perry - his voice has been greatly missed, however you cannot miss it here. Pack and Perry's voices work so well together - very textured.The songwriting is superior as well.

The 8th track "Where We Started From" features Pack with Timothy B. Schmidt of the Eagles and Poco. Schmidt has always had such a fine ear for harmonies and it shows here - one of the sweetest voices I have ever heard. Schmidt also duets with David on track 3 "Biggest Part of Me" which is a remake of the song David originally wrote and performed with Ambrosia. Here it has a surprising Latin flavor to it - and it works.

Track 6 "You're The Only Woman" is another remake of a song originally written and performed with Ambrosia.

The rest of the cd is quality all the way.

Do yourself a favor and buy it - you won't be disappointed

5.0 out of 5 stars The Secret Of Movin' On, September 13, 2005

By	David Zweiback (Philadelphia, Pa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Absolutely fantastic album. Tasteful and well produced. David is singing better than ever and the other artists spotlighted only compliment the album and it's ambience.
