It's hard to imagine a more schizophrenic album than Fireflies, but Faith Hill, the comely pride of Star, Mississippi, had a lot of different factions to please. There's the country set, furious about the L.A. excess of 2002's Cry, as ravaged a pop album as ever made. Then there's the club set, which actually mistook Cry for music, and wanted more. Finally, there's Hill herself, still bruised from the critical drubbing the last album got, and obviously feeling the need to prove herself anew, going brunette to show her transformation. The bad news about Fireflies is that the all-out country songs--the autobiographical "Mississippi Girl," which practically begs forgiveness for Cry, and the cartoonish "Dearly Beloved," a hoedown ditty about a shotgun wedding--are embarrassing attempts to show that the Dixified diva hasn't gotten above her raising. Then, two other offerings--Darrell Scott's preachy protest number "We've Got Nothing But Love to Prove" and the beautiful torch ballad "Paris"--are both lyrical head-scratchers, and find the artist floundering as to who she is and what she's about. Where Hill knowingly flexes her muscle is in tackling three complex, literate songs by alt-folkie Lori McKenna--the title track (about the power of dreams), "Stealing Kisses" (about reevaluating life choices), and "If You Ask" (about living with a substance abuser). Hill gives these performances nuanced readings that say buckets more about her own life than "Mississippi Girl" could ever convey, and point to an emotional reservoir Hill is just beginning to tap. Here's hoping she goes back to that well again and again. --Alanna Nash

4 out of 5 stars Faith is restored.......2007-07-06

This album is a very healthy 4 stars. Faith came back to teh modern country fold and it clearly suits her better than her ventures on the previously two albums, Breathe and CRy. Good songs:

Sunshine and Summertime - fun song about having fun in summer

Mississippi Girl - rock edge to it, has spark. Faith proclaims she is still a "Regular Jane" from Mississippi at heart.

Dearly Beloved - kind bluegrassy. Funny song about redneck marriage. "See the side effects of sex and alcohol."

Stealing Kisses - slow tune about wife/mother who is neglected in her family life

I Want You - starts with a quick beat. Alternates with a powerful singing of the chorus. Compares her want of lover to forces of nature [e.g., river seeking ocean]

Lucky One - a fun and bouncy tune like Sunshine and Summertime, but a bit more of a mesage. The singer realizes she doesn't have much stuff, but is lucky to have her lover.

Nothing But Love to Proove - spirited. Observations are kind of trite, but a nice tune

Paris - the extra track. About Paris after the liberation in WWII. Kind of a Casablanca theme but with happy results.

5 out of 5 stars Fireflies is a must have.......2007-06-03

Firleflies is a great cd! It really has a variety of songs and Faith does a great job! While some songs are upbeat, like sunshine and summertime, others show a more artistic view, like Stealing Kisses. All of the songs deal with real life issues, times. Mississippi girl was written just for Faith, obviously! She really pored her heart& Soul into this one!!I do think Cry still showed her voice the best, but this one is for the country raido fans too I guess. I would like more gospel songs, or ones written by her though. Overall, the sounds are great and inspiring.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD from a Great Artist.......2007-03-30

I was never a great country fan until Shania Twain's "the Woman in Me" came out. Then I started listening to more country music. Faith Hill is such a wonderful artist. This is a really fun CD to listen to. My favorites are "Fireflies" which reminds me of my daughter (3 years old) who believes she is a princess (as do I, of course) and "Lucky One" which I discovered from the CD jacket was actually recorded on the day my daughter was born...talk about lucky. I also have "Cry" and "Breathe" and I think each CD shows a different side to Ms. Hill. She is truly a versatile artist.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD! It's Faith Doing What She Does Best, Singing.......2007-02-11

I think that everything worth saying about this CD has been said. If you like it, you do, and if you don't, then you don't. I personally don't think that it's fair to try and box a performer in and expect them to keep turning out the same thing over and over again on every CD. Then people would be whining that Faith is just playing it safe and is afraid to take chances. So, it seems that no matter what an artist does, people will always find something to complain about. I once heard an expression that said, "those who can, will do it. Those who can't, will review it."
I do have one question about the song "Sunshine and Summertime." Why does it sound like the very beginning of the track is chopped off? It sounds like the band was already into playing the song when someone hit the record button. The song is really fun! But that intro sounds like something was chopped off. And it's like this on every copy I've heard. Anyone else notice this?
I feel that this is a great CD by faith hill as she learns and grows as an artist. Music is like an audio painting. and even artists who paint go through different periods. Some people will condemn Faith Hill for the 2002 "Cry" CD because it wasn't "more of the same." I commend her for having the courage to step over the line and taking that chance. I'm sure that she could play it safe and keep turning out the same kind of album over and over again. Then people would start whining about how she's in a rut. So, it seems that there really is no right choice. It has to be hard to go through thousands of demos and pick the ones that you think will make a great CD. You have millions of fans out there, and pleasing all of them is impossible! If I could talk to Faith, I'd just tell her to keep following your heart and your instincts. They will never lie to you, or lead you astray.
"Fireflies" is a great CD. And the next CD might be totally different from this one. But keep it in perspective. It's all music, and it's all good.

3 out of 5 stars Fireflies.......2007-02-04

Starting with the first track Faith lets the listener know that she is coming home to her country roots. She isn't going to please everyone every time, yet she is trying to do what she does best, pick the music that reflects her life at the time of the CD recording. After being accused of "going Hollywood" with her last release "Cry" and appearing in "The Stepford Wives", it appears Faith Hill decided to come back to the genre that has made her famous and given her a home. With songs written by The Warren Brothers, John Rich and Lori McKenna, Faith gives it her all and hopes to satisfy at least some of her critics.

The short-lived classic-rock supergroup Blind Faith's sole album has aged remarkably well. In 1969, Blind Faith fused the psychedelic blues of Eric Clapton and the soulful vocals and keyboards of Steve Winwood with the polyrhythmic, Afrocentric leanings of drummer Ginger Baker. "Can't Find My Way Home" is one of the hippie era's most lyrically poignant, sonically subtle tunes. The record has a lot of surprises; "Presence of the Lord" is rousing and melancholy at the same time, while the way the bass and guitar double-team on the introductory melodic line to "Had to Cry Today" makes a hard-rock cliché fresh again. The 10-minute drum solo on "Do What You Like" is pretty good as 10-minute drum solos go. This 2000 reissue of the album omits the unreleased jams and mixes that fill the second disc of the deluxe reissue that appeared earlier in the year. --Mike McGonigal

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars "Well All Right" please make sure you view the version with the 9 bonus tracks!.......2007-07-02

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" I am often asked to write or talk about various 60's and 70's rock and roll recordings.

Although it was devastating that Cream had broken up, Two-thirds of the band Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker surfaced along with Steve Winwood and Ric Grech in Blind Faith. Although there would only be one album it has left its mark as a must own for any fan of blues-rock and Clapton or Winwood.

Please make sure you are viewing the 2CD version with the original LP and the nine bonus tracks (Including 1 CD of all Jams).

The deluxe issue has such intense bonus material that it had to be extended to a two CD set. "Can't Find My Way Back Home" and "Presence Of The Lord" have so much soul and emotion it could give a heart to the Tin Man.

There isn't a bad moment from the opening note to the final bonus track. Although you'll feel like a kid in a candy store and want to experience a bit of this and that, listen to the first six tracks on CD 1 straight through. This will enable you to experience the music the way it was in 1969 and in the best quality. After you are able to digest the brilliance of the album if you have any energy left go for the bonus tracks. Some may have had the pleasure of hearing "Sleeping In The Ground" previously. When you get to the Jams it will reaffirm why Clapton's output from the Yardbirds through Derek & The Dominos was nothing short of Herculean.

Be well always,
Craig Fenton

4 out of 5 stars just what I was looking for...............2007-05-17

this was perfect! I have wanted this cd for quite a while.
amazon is a great way to find that "old" cd.

5 out of 5 stars Still groovy, after all these years..........2007-05-13

It was a superband that had it all, and it is a delight to tool down the highway to these tunes. Each song on this "album" is a gem.

4 out of 5 stars Justice is Blind, Faith is Kind................2007-05-07

After groveling in the hovels of dark cafes and zoos after midnight, I finally emerged to the meditative mountain for a quick, few, inspirational visionary episodes. What meditative mountain you ask? I am a Seer- of course I have one. Anyway-through the haze- I was able to see many things concerning this album. And seeing isn't always good when you're asked to take them on Blind Faith alone. Regardless- it certainly is more pleasant reviewing this than having my locks changed in my castle (yes, again!). It's amazing what fans will do. Oh well.
I have to be honest here, you have to look at this album in context if you are to get anywhere. Yes, yes, I love it too. But honestly, is there anyone out there that really, sincerely believes that this is the best they could do? I certainly don't. I think this was meant as a side project only for Clapton and Winwood, in between groups or group obligations. Why isn't it the best? You only have to look closely at what came after - Winwood's "John Barleycorn Must Die", and Eric's "Layla". Now THOSE are highpoints my people. Blind Faith has many pleasurable moments here - and wonderful musicianship. But nothing really lifts you more than three inches off the ground.
Which is not to say that there aren't superb gems. The subtle, quiet yearning of Winwood with great acoustic guitars on "Can't Find My Way Home". Listen to the insistent snaking along of the beat and Winwood's soulful plea at the end. Wonderful. Too bad everything was not like this.
"Had to Cry Today" has an interesting riff to recommend it- and it flys off and returns to us time and time again. But the song itself labors along and the best part is the lead guitar interplay between Winwood and Clapton. I will say this- at least those two have some idea of where all this is going. But Ginger Baker and Rick Grech, although both extremely talented, are overshadowed.
Ironically, one of the few songs that show any real life here, "Well All Right" was not written by any of the group members but was a Buddy Holly tune. And Winwood share's his piano gifts with us here. Nice jam at the end Steve!
"Presence of the Lord" is a Clapton tune and a lumbering (or is it slumbering?) one at that. And one has to wonder if this was before, during, or after his heroin addiction? I would hate to think the Lord had anything to do with that! In fairness, the thing that saves this song is the middle break when the Lord allows Clapton the freedom of a lead. As a Seer I know that we must be grateful for small miracles in our lives.
But all is not lost because we are on "The Sea of Joy". I rather like this one. It has some life and could have been included on a Traffic album like "Low Spark". However, that being said, Mr. Winwood does himself (and us) no favors by writing this in a bad key for himself. I've always liked the sound of his vocals, but his voice is straining here to hit the notes. I am advising honey and no speaking for three days to get up to snuff. That Metamorpho-always willing to help.
We conclude with "Do What You Like", a long, floating, noodling of a song that gives everyone the spotlight leading up to the famed Ginger Baker drum solo. Well, after all, he wrote the song. I sort of like this jam though. They finally let Baker and Grech shine just when I was beginning to get worried....about the time the doorknob broke.
In conclusion, is this the best thing these musicians have ever done? The answer is no. Are there some fine and plausible musical substance that would make this a worthy find? Definitely. Anything Clapton and Winwood get involved with is definitely worth a look see. But a super-group? Well........almost.
Now it is time to get down from this mountain and get some insect spray. All I need are mosquito bites on my face. After all, I have a public to think of!

Slightly overcooked but far from done--as always-- Metamorpho

5 out of 5 stars Keep the Faith alive.......2007-02-06

Blind Faith (1969) Blind Faith's first and only studio album.

After Clapton had failed to recruit ex-Traffic mastermind Steve Winwood into Cream quick enough, the power trio split. However, all was not lost. What formed from the ashes was a tiny taste of what Cream with the addition of Winwood might have sounded like. Along with God guitarist Clapton and keyboard monster Winwood was ex-Cream dummer Ginger Baker and ex-Family bassist Rick Grech, who left Family mid-tour to join the group. The end product was one of the greatest classic rock/psychedelic/jazz/folk albums ever released. It's a shame that this is all we get.

The album starts off with Winwood's "Had to Cry Today", a beautiful, wistful song headed by a killer guitar riff. This epic only leads into what is probably the group's best known song, another Winwood classic called "Can't Find My Way Home". The acoustic guitar along with Winwood's soft, haunting vocals make this one of the greatest classic rock songs ever conceived. It then moves on to a wondeful cover of "Well All Right", where the band really lets loose and does some neat jamming.

Next is my personal favorite from the album, and one of my all-time favorite songs; Clapton's "Presence of the Lord". The organ and bass line here are so amazing, and Clapton's fuzziness on the guitar only sucks you into an eternal dreamworld. This is an absolutely gorgeous song, and it's amazing that it's not more popular than it was. Next is another Winwood song, "Sea of Joy". This one also has a very memorable riff, and the chorus to the song is nothing short of great. The album rounds out with Ginger Baker's epic "Do What You Like", where he shows the world why he is one of its greatest drummers. Clapton and Grech also enjoy interesting solos on this song, too.

Overall, this band could have gone on to do amazing things, but while on tour, Clapton became more and more obsessed with the sounds of the Band and Delaney and Bonnie. He split at the end of the tour and went on to bigger and better things, while Winwood and Grech would join Baker in his "Air Force" (another incredible album), and later, for Winwood, a reunion with Traffic. If you are a fan of classic rock, of Cream, of Clapton or Winwood, do NOT miss out on this. It's a very moving and spiritual journey, and one of the finest recordings from that era.

How do you put together a soundtrack for a comedy about witches--'90s style? Well, if she's young and her name is Sabrina, you compile an album of relentless teen pop and R&B hits. But if your witches are a little more mature (and, perhaps, suburban), as in Practical Magic, you use a different formula. And the brew found here is actually a good mix: Faith Hill gets as much play (one track) as Nick Drake and Joni Mitchell. Mitchell's "A Case of You" is simply great, and Bran Van 3000's "Everywhere" fits the folk-pop mold nicely, as does upstart Michelle Lewis's "Nowhere and Everywhere." The guys are the oddities here: Elvis Presley's "Always on My Mind" and Harry Nilsson's "Coconut" give this disc some fun quirks. --Jim Young

From Amazon.co.uk

After immeasurable success in the U.S., Faith Hill finally comes to Europe, and There You'll Be is a sort of catch-up for the best bits we may have missed along the way (or, in other words, a greatest hits collection for the uninitiated). A dozen songs which map the path of the Georgia singer, it includes the massive hit for which she has come to be known over here--"There You'll Be," from the Pearl Harbor soundtrack--together with some pop anthems like "The Way You Love Me (Love to Infinity Mix)." However, the style she delivers most convincingly is that of her roots in country, with "Let Me Let Go", "Piece of My Heart," and "You Give Me Love" from the earlier albums being the clear highlights of this collection. --Gunther Matejka

Album Description

Exclusive import only best of collection includes two tracks unavailable on the Euro pressing, 'The Way You Love Me (Love To Infinity Remix)' & 'If I Should Fall Behind'. Other tracks include, 'There You'll Be', 'This Kiss (Pop Radio Version)', 'Breathe (Tin Tin Out Remix)', 'The Way You Love Me', 'Let Me Let Go', 'Piece Of My Heart', 'If My Heart Had Wings (Single Version)', 'There Will Come A Day', 'Love Will Always Win', 'My Wild Frontier', 'You Give Me Love', 'Somewhere Down The Road (From Princess Of Egypt O.S.T.), 'Over The Rainbow (From For Our Children Too O.S.T.)' & 'Breathe (Pop Remix)'. 2001.

I write this knowing how much I love to hear Faith Hill sing , and knowing how much of her Music that I own , and have listened to over the
years , this supposed to be Greatest Hits Ablum that leaves out some of her Hits ,adds these New Songs does away with what the Album is Called , and suppose to be , "The Best OF Faith Hill" , I DON'T THINK SO!

5 out of 5 stars Just the good stuff.......2007-03-09

I am not a huge country western fan, but there are certain artists I really like. I like when an artist comes out with a greatest hits CD that really is filled with greastest hits. If you are a Faith Hill fan, but want to buy just one CD, then buy this one.

1 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed.......2007-03-08

Thought it would be a greatest hits CD of all her original music. Would not have purchased if I had heard CD before I ordered it.

5 out of 5 stars Great Compilation.......2006-11-12

This import CD by Faith Hill is a great compilation of her hits, it also includes never before released songs such as "over the rainbow" which she performs with great diversity. Although a little pricy, well worth the money for true Faith Hill fans.

This cd sounds good but it is missing some of her best songs! 'It Matters To Me' is my fav and it is not to be found on Faith Hill's Best of! She has some good ones with Tim McGraw also not on this cd! So I would wait!!!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars My Power Anthem Review.......2007-06-12

This is a great cd. I have to say, I love all of the songs on it. They are wonderful songs to walk (exercise) with; sometimes I find myself dancing.

4 out of 5 stars I Can Only Imagine.......2007-03-26

I love this album. It's great to have on in the background while you're pottering around the house 'cause it's 'easy-listening'. Of course, when it comes to my favourite Mercy Me song I blare the sound!

1 out of 5 stars I Can Only Imagine.......2007-01-16

I was very disapointed with the sound and the voices singing on this cd. I ordered it because I heard the song I Can Only Imagine and it was wonderful, however thie singing on this cd seems to be out of tone, sounds like amatures singing and I hate it. I do not like the entire cd. how sad as I spent good money thinking I was getting a quility of good singers.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2007-01-09

I bought this for the title song, but it's always great to have this kind of CD with favorite songs. Well arranged and a good value for the money.

"Well I guess it would be nice, if I could touch your body...." Given George Michael's restroom hi-jinks in early 1998, those words from "Faith" sound pretty funny, but they sounded fresh and exciting blasting out of car radios all over America in 1987. Michael's stunning solo debut (after four years in the lightweight British duo Wham!) sold seven million copies and yielded six Top 10 hits. Some of those were among the decade's best pop, including the hiccuping title track, the heartfelt ballad "Father Figure" and the wicked R&B groove of "I Want Your Sex." Unlike so much 1980s treacle, this disc hold ups surprisingly well--even if Michael hasn't always done so himself. --Michael Ruby

4 out of 5 stars Faithful.......2007-07-05

It has been more than 20 years, since a pop gem turned his life from a bubble gum teen idol, into a soulful legend. Yet, with all of George Michael's longevity, we've often forgotten about how diverse and deep his music has been with so many listeners, and instead focused in on his problems with substance abuse, and his troubles with his personal life. Nevertheless, with so many of the artists being more about gloss and partying like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, George has often been discredited as a forgone guilty pleasure. But what he accomplished away from his era with Wham!, really remains timeless.

George Michael's solo debut record, Faith contains music that still shows that has been about substance, rather than style, but delivers a unique mixture of both. This album has a mix of soul, rock and gospel all in one. The album works very nicely, and still is great to listen to. The songs have definitely shown that they have gotten better with age. The record includes some great tracks including the provocative and dominant I Want Your Sex, the #1 smashes Father Figure, the dance hit Monkey, the soulful and somber One More Try, and his often overlooked Kissing A Fool. The album really delivers uniquely, despite the fact that George hasn't been able to succeed here in America, the way he has thrived overseas in the 90's and the 2000 decade.

Nevertheless, Faith was recently declared as a part of the 200 Definitive Albums Of All Time according to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, and what George Michael has still shined over the years. I just hope people in this generation, keep appreciating the craftmanship of his music and feel for the songs. I absolutely recommend this for anyone who hasn't yet heard his music at all. It still shows that he will always have faith, and delivers.

5 out of 5 stars The Emancipation of George.......2006-10-14

"Why can't you do it, why can't you set your monkey free?" Long before the embarrassing sex and drug scandals, long before the regrettable images of a wasted, baggy eyed gray beard slouched over a steering wheel, there was a young hungry artist who, upon shedding a stifling teeny bopper image and an increasingly superfluous musical partner in Andrew Ridgeley, blossomed into an artist of amazing depth and maturity. The album Faith was his emancipation. For my money the most accomplished and sophisticated popular album of the 1980s, Faith blends influences seamlessly- from 50s rockabilly, to 30s jazzy torchsong, to futuristic funk, to bluesy balladry- into an organic trip. It was also the album that established Michael as the biggest solo artist of the late 80s.

Pre album release, Michael's "solo" era had gotten off to a fitful start. The majestic Careless Whisper (ironically co-written with Ridgeley), embellished with flamenco guitar and silky sax flourishes, was officially a solo single, at least in the UK- but in the States, released as Wham! featuring George Michael, as the band were not as established there, their debut album having flopped.

Next came the atmospheric, elegant A Different Corner. By this point, Wham! had played their farewell show at Wembley Stadium and the trademark image of the leather-jacketed, tight stonewashed jean wearing, 3-day stub-bearded archetypical Michael style was well established, having already been previewed the previous year at Live Aid. Ridgeley had been instrumental in the early days of the group as motivating force, image creator, business negotiator, and occasional co-songwriter, but by 1986, his constant flogging at the hands of the press for his perceived meaningless role in Wham! forced the increasingly suffocated Michael's hand.

Just prior to Faith's release, Michael courted his first real controversy with the futuristic, Prince-influenced synthetic funk thrust of first album single I Want Your Sex (also on the Beverly Hills 2 soundtrack). Ostensibly promoting monogamy, this song with the irresistible groove but naughty hook was castigated relentlessly by the press as it rose in the charts, denied a #1 placing in both Billboard and the UK charts primarily due more to its censor by the media than its popularity or sales. As its music video showed, Michael was not yet ready to come out of the closet- a wise move, at least in terms of career.

Album opener Faith is a 'faith'ful tip of the hat to rockabilly, fading in cleverly with a slow church organ dirge that on closer inspection turns out to be the melody for the chorus of Wham! hit Freedom- a not-so-clandestine message that here is an artist breaking free of the shackles of teen pop stardom.

Second track Father Figure has a similar heartbeat bass line to A Different Corner, establishing a mysterious vibe, while somehow avoiding controversy despite its incestuous/religious allusions.

Bluesy slow-waltz ballad One More Try is a showcase for Michael's pleading vocals, and is in my opinion a distant relative of Aretha's Natural Woman- of course Michael dueted with her on the #1 Knew You Were Waiting; she surely inspired him. The funky Hard Day was a hit on the US Dance Chart, the syncopated Hand To Mouth lent a sceptical eye towards Reagan's trickle-down America, Look At Your Hands is decent 80s pop, Monkey was a pop #1 and dance floor filler despite its incrongruent accusatory anti-drug message- and is ironic in light of Mr Michael's recent travails. Kissing A Fool is a gorgeous jazzy period piece lament to a lover lost due to the suggestions of others. The fuzzy double bass tones by sidekick Deon Estus give the song a warm glow, despite its sad imagery.

Michael has created some stunning music since this album, but all in all, Faith is the one to get for George Michael at his very best and hungriest, pre record company battles, sex controversies and drug problems. It will be great to see him on stage again!

New Jersey hinted that Jon Bon Jovi wished to be taken as seriously as Bruce Springsteen; Keep the Faith confirms that notion. However, Jon Bon Jovi is the man who sang "I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all" without so much as smirking. That's why the songs on Keep the Faith where Bon Jovi attempts profundity--like the interminable, pointless "Dry Country"--are virtually unlistenable, and why ear candy such as "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" and "Bed of Roses" is harmlessly beguiling. --Andrew Mueller

5 out of 5 stars Bon Jovi's finest hour........2007-06-03

After both Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora released solo albums and a four-year hiatus, the duo joined forces to release Keep the Faith, which was meant to be a more serious album right from the get-go. Besides carrying the band's arena rock anthems, it was also meant to be a nod to the working-class ethics of Bruce Springsteen, focusing heavily on thoughtout lyrics and messages -- and it became a success.

The Springsteen influence is remarkable on the album opener "I Believe": it merges the signature Bon Jovi sound treated to a more updated version and the gospel revivalist feel of Springsteen songs. Sambora's guitar wail is carefully placed under the thick bass stomp and Bon Jovi's trademark screams, but the melody is gripping and infectious. As with earlier releases, Desmond Child helped them finish two other hits: the ambitious title track, driven by an amazing vocal delivery, profound lyrics, and Torres' drum syncopation; and the more upbeat number "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead", which revisits the band's earlier hook-laden cuts, chock full of catchy choruses and harmony vocals.

The reason why Keep the Faith stands out from its predecessor is certainly the inclusion of songs exhibiting more maturity and depth. "Dry Country", at nearly minutes, is an amazing melodic hard rocker graced by a timeless melody. The piano theme that sets the tone of the piece is cleverly repeated during the pre-chorus and simultaneously as the lyrics are delivered -- it's a sign of Jon Bon Jovi's mastery of hook and songwriting. Even Richie Sambora, whose guitar work has always been behind the band's crushing rhythm section, gets to put his lead playing on display, cutting it loose for a good two minutes.

Likewise, while still serving his pop-driven rock ballads in the form of "I Want You", Jon Bon Jovi also begins to show signs of artistic growth as both a lyricist and musician. The combination of "In These Arms" and "Bed of Roses" is easily the band's most powerful one-two punch ballad ever. The former sees considerable input by David Bryan; he injects neat keyboard work which introduces the main melody for Jon to sing over and add his own touch to it. The latter, on the other hand, is quite possibly the band's most moving song to date. Its beautiful guitar intro, piano motif, and the profoundly emotive vocal style are hard to match in the poppy spectrum of hard rock. Though they may have had bigger hits on the charts, "Bed of Roses" is the band at their most expressive, and Jon Bovi Jovi at his songwriting best.

More guitar-based songs also appear on the CD, such as the bass-rich "If I Was Your Mother" with a cool chorus; the blues-inflected "Blame It on the Love of Rock & Roll" with its relentless rhythm groove; and the unapologetically loud "Woman in Love", driven by Jon Bon Jovi's repeated chorus shout.

In many ways, Keep the Faith is the band's finest moment. Unlike their albums released in the 80's, it has a more timeless quality to it and crosses the boundaries of happy-go-lucky pop rock tunes that formed much of that era. Sadly, with the follow-up to this record, These Days, Bon Jovi would lose their appeal to many a long-time fan whilst winning over a whole new legion of followers. They have always been a band that managed to keep up-to-date with what achieves stardom.

5 out of 5 stars Bonjovi-Keep the Faith.......2007-05-18

BonJovi can be mis-labeled as typical heavy-metal boiler-factory decibel-bashing rock band vying for a top spot on the charts & in the music stores. But if Any Album atests to this group's deep well of Talent, it is "Keep the Faith". BonJovi very impressively runs the gamut here from Blues to Ted Nugent' level of intense rock, & ballards even varied in theme from bruised love to emotional uplift. "In life there comes a rain, but you gotta keep the faith". Life at everyday angles are what BonJovi can bring out in a way that says Yes, that's me, how'd they know i needed that song to get me through this muck.
There are lots of great Rock albums but there are few that out-distance the range of versatility and depth that "Keep the Faith" keeps presenting throughout every song. If you've ever come across an album that has a mysterious healing balm for the soul, this one you will notice also resurges your mind, body and spirit. Give it a Shot, and it will give you the boost you needed.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome CD.......2007-05-04

I heard Keep the Faith on the radio the other day and ventured onto Amazon to find the CD. WoW! This rocks. There is not one song that I couldn't listen to over and over. Bon Jovi should produce another CD like this one. Thanks!

5 out of 5 stars BON JOVI MATURES AND COMES OF AGE WITH KEEP THE FAITH........2007-02-12

I will be writing a review on the legendary album entitled "KEEP THE FAITH" by one of Rock's greatest bands and one of America's most favorite sons. I give you one of New Jersey's pride and joy's, the one and only, BON JOVI. "KEEP THE FAITH" was originally released in 1992 on Compact Disc on the Mercury Records label in association with PolyGram Records. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the best informative and most accurate review possible.

Going into the new decade of the 1990's, BON JOVI would still be enjoying the fruits and excesses to its fullest that the good life has to offer as a result of their increasing popularity which would now be compared with another legendary fellow New Jersey native icon, The Boss himself, MR. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. BON JOVI would now be taken seriously as a legitimate Rock n' Roll force to be reckened with which elevated the legend of this band further on top of the world. With all of this in mind, BON JOVI were better than ever which continued burning on fire with every album they recorded and were now a big concert draw attraction everywhere they went. Their fan base just kept growing while more women continued flocking to their concerts more than ever from everywhere around the globe just to get a glipse of them. With the huge and enormous success of their legendary party albums "SLIPPERY WHEN WET" from 1986 and the album which bares the name of the band's own home state "NEW JERSEY" from 1988, everything BON JOVI touched turned into gold. But despite all of the huge successes of their albums and their escalating fame and fortune, BON JOVI still would not rest on their fame and fortune alone or their laurels. At the same time, BON JOVI was going through some changes called life. BON JOVI were now showing starting signs of maturity with age and were now gradually growing out of their party stage. These new changes in the band would forever change and affect their music as musicians and songwriters in a more positive way. It was now time for BON JOVI, or should I say lead singer and frontman Jon Bon Jovi, lead and rhythm guitarist Richie Sambora, bassist Alec John Such, keyboardist David Bryan and drummer Tico "The Hit Man" Torres to head back into the recording studio and record the new follow-up album to the extremely successful "NEW JERSEY" album. Again, the usual questions would now arise on everyone's mind, can BON JOVI do it again and top the "NEW JERSEY" album? The whole world would soon get their answer. BON JOVI would record, complete and hand in to Mercury Records, a new album that would describe the band's new personality and begin a whole new era for BON JOVI, "KEEP THE FAITH." In my opinion, "KEEP THE FAITH" ranks with their best albums to date. "KEEP THE FAITH" is also a more serious down to earth album with powerful lyrics not heard before on their prior albums.

"KEEP THE FAITH" has a far better mature Rock n' Roll sound which is being supported with superior lyrics. In my opinion, "KEEP THE FAITH" is a message for the whole world which is easy to figure out. BON JOVI still has their own special blend sound fully in tact and it shows when you hear the Rockers such as the powerful "I Believe," the realistic "Keep The Faith," the anthem of the 90's "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead," "In These Arms," the rockin' "If I Was Your Mother," the ten minute ballad turned Rocker "Dry County," the vintage BON JOVI Rocker "Woman In Love," the haunting Rocker "Fear," the passionate soulful Rocker "Blame It On The Love Of Rock & Roll" and the heartfelt Rocker "Little Bit Of Soul." Believe me when I say that Richie Sambora just tears these Rockers up with his masterful well skilled guitar playing. Richie really kicks a*s in more ways than one.

BON JOVI would also record two slow beautiful Rock ballads which would show a more humbler side of the band. In my opinion, the legendary "Bed Of Roses" and "I Want You" are among the band's best ever slow ballads. Jon Bon Jovi sings all of these Rockers with a more mature polished sound never heard or felt on the previous albums. On top of that, the powerful lyrics just adds more life to their songs which solidifies the power and energy of the whole album.

I would like to highly recommend buying this legendary album for everyone to own as a valuable and important part of their own personal music collection. This incredible album will definitely stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER.

In closing, despite the huge success of "KEEP THE FAITH," the BON JOVI legend still does not even come close to ending here. In reality, it is still only the beginning. BON JOVI'S place in Rock n' Roll history is now well secured and will never be forgotten. Now considered legitimate icons, BON JOVI would move on to better green pastures and record more great albums than ever before. With this in mind, there would still be more tales and stories in the BON JOVI legend that would still need to be conquered, told and written in new pages and chapters in their storied career. But that, my fellow readers and reviewers, you will have to stay tuned and read about at a later date. So here's to you Jon, Richie, David, Tico and Alec. I hope this review did you more justice and added more to your legend. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," am I wrong? Thanks for reading my review and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. BON JOVI RULES. Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever In Rock, John L.

From the suggestive series of photos in the CD's packaging to the aerobicized dance-floor workouts within, Faith Hill refuses to concede an inch of crossover dominance to Shania Twain. Except for a seductive duet with husband Tim McGraw on "Let's Make Love" and an occasional pinch of fiddle or steel guitar, there's little here to characterize Hill as a country artist. As pop, the results range from pretty ("Breathe," "Love Is a Sweet Thing") to pretty slight ("I Got My Baby," "If My Heart Had Wings") to borderline inane ("Bringing Out the Elvis," the voyeuristic twist of "The Way You Love Me"). Though Hill's version of Bruce Springsteen's "If I Should Fall Behind" is admirably understated, too much of the album substitutes surface dazzle for emotional depth. --Don McLeese

3 out of 5 stars Great Cover Photo, if Only the Songs were as Good.......2007-07-06

Faith slipped on this album from previous albums. This definitely has a stronger pop/lite rock flavor than previous work, with even some jazz hints. Not that it's bad to try a different genre. The actual songs themselves, however, try to much to be sweet and treacly. They are not substantial or inventive either. Here are the only real standouts:

Way You Love Me - spirited country/pop [like I said, genre is not the problem] tune. Best song on this album.

If My Heart Had Wings - spirit and force

There Will Come a Day - actually inspirational and spiritual

The album doesn't suck, but there's no real enthusiasm about popping it into the player.

3 out of 5 stars Sounds Good.......2006-07-07

I Don't have this cd by faith (i have cry which is a great one) but it sounds good except for two one i can't remember and brining out the elvis not that they are bad songs (i believe that there is no such thing as bad music) i just don't like them. i like faith's pop and country sides. but anyway it sounds good

1 out of 5 stars Shocked.......2006-06-14

I purchased the CD. I own other CD's by Faith Hill.The best way to evaluate satisfaction is to ask the question: "If you had another chance to order the CD being evaluated, would you order the CD. My reply is no. The voice and the background music do not sound like the Faith Hill that I hear in the CD's that I own.

5 out of 5 stars amazing record, still her best.......2006-05-19

I didn't know anything bout Faith before i picked this CD, and that's where my love to modern-country music started its life. I was really impressed at how great this album sounded and still does. The first track "What's in in for me" immediately cristalyzes the paradigm of still-not too much country, not pop either. The following song are just as good as the first one, and of course "Breathe" is a stand-out track, which sounds amazing no matter how many tome you're listening to it. And the perfection if the song also lies in the other mixes, which are not less good than the original. However, the inclusion of silly "Bringing out the Elvis" sounds like a mistake on here, but a small one, which doesn't spoil the general listenability of the record. That said, it's still her best album, which stays in the same league with "Come on Over" and and maybe even better.

4 out of 5 stars I'm not a country fan and Oh I love Faith!.......2006-03-17

My little sister had this cd years ago and the song "There will Come a Day" used to bring me to tears. As a Christian, I would reccomend getting the cd just to have that song. However, I also love the rest of the CD. It has Faith's country flair but it isnt too brassy. I love it and bought myself a copy. It's a cd that's never leaving my collection.

If you are trying to decide between this recording and "Cloudburst," pick this one. The female voices do not have that shrieking quality that they do on "Cloudburst" and the soprano soloist from the BYU Singers is fantastic.

I do prefer the faster pacing of some of the pieces on the "Cludburst" recording, but this one is better all around.

5 out of 5 stars My Favorite Choral Composer.......2007-03-09

Taken as a whole, Eric Whitacre is my favorite choral composer. I have to listen to his music at least once a week. As far as student choirs go, BYU does a stunning job for the most part. The few minor mistakes do not detract from the music. This is an essential album in my book.

I bought this CD because it included the piece "Lux aurumque", which I feel must have been inspired because it transforms the listener into another realm. The other pieces are well done, too, but none reach me in the same way as "Lux aurumque". I love the tight overlapping harmonies and suspensions.

I asked for, and received, this recording for Christmas based on the excellence of prior BYU performances and having really enjoyed performing Cloudburst in the past. This recording does not disappoint. It excels on every level. The choral writing is compelling and the performance of the BYU Singers is simply amazing. I've been around choral singing for many, many, years and the level of achievement here is stunning. Based solely on hearing recordings and seeing their recorded concerts on PBS, I would recommend anything from the BYU choral department.

I was VERY suprised to hear this kind of sound from a college choir! The blend of the choir and the emotion behind the music is enough to give anyone goosebumps. From the soaring harmonies of "Water Night" to the subdued tenderness of "Sleep" to the playfulness of "Leonardo" this disc has something for everyone. A guaranteed Best Buy!
