Editorial Reviews

Product Description

2009 debut album from the American Idol alumni. Though Michael Johns only came in eighth on Season 7 (in 2008), his early exit gave him the time and energy to concentrate on writing and recording Hold Back My Heart. The album features six songs co-written by Johns and Dave Cobb while Diane Warren and British singer-songwriter James Morrison also contribute lyrics. 12 tracks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Michael Johns rocks with soul, June 23, 2009
By Maja K. (Slovenia) - See all my reviews
I love the soul/rock vibe of the album. Michael's voice is incredible and his talent is huge. The whole album is amazing and it's something you can listen over and over again. I recommend this album to everyone who loves rock/soul/bluesy music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do Yourself a Favour . Check out HBMH., June 23, 2009
By Ausjude (Sydney Australia) - See all my reviews
If you want to hear a great soulful , heartfelt album , HBMH is the album for you. I love how his voice shows such feeling . There is a good range of songs , something for everyone , from Rock / soul to the blues . My favourite song on the album is Turn to You , a very simple acoustic rendition, but so effective.

Somewhat disappointing. His voice is great but the song choice is nothing like I expected. Somehow it seems like his heart wasn't in it. Too bad...
