Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Awesome!.......2007-01-12

Great, I am very happy to purchase this cd. If you are a fan of Richard Marx, you will pay the extra to hear him sing the N'sync hit-"This I Promise You". Then you will wonder why didnt Richard just keep that for himself.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Listening.......2007-01-09

Being a Richard Marx fan, this collection is just so cool. Amazon shipped it right in time for christmas. It is a must buy for any RM fan.

2003 Japan/Asia version of Days In Avalon previously released in U.S in 2000 from the indie label includes Richard's own version of NSYNC super hit THIS I PROMISE YOU. And different version of SOMEONE SPECIAL in recent comeback album MY OWN BEST ENEMY.

This one sounds sequel to Paid Vacation album in 1993 in which some country flavored approach were tried. If you can love this album depends on how you can accept Richard's change of direction from dynamic pop arrangemnt of 80s to simplified acoustic one. For me that sort of conversion takes a lot of time because I am a huge fan of his first three hit albums.

It seems country rock approach seems successful particularly I love STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART, pure James Taylor like nice country song. POWER OF YOU AND ME could be a SHANIA TWAIN song.
While most of the songs are soft ballads ALMOST EVERYTHING and UNTIL YOU COME BACK TO ME is a nice rock song though a bit simplified mixing. On ballad side ONE MORE TIME is most impressive one.

MY DREAM RICHARD COMEBACK ALBUM
But I think his country rock approach could not last long for I feel his voice is more fit to rock just as REPEAT OFFENDER did and I strongly hope his next one would be more rock approached one. Here's the list of dream supporting musicians.

PRODUCERS: JIM PETERIK/MARK TANNER
GUITARS: STEVE LUKATHAR and TOMMY DENANDER
BACKVOCALS: TOMMY SHAW/JACK BLADES
SONGWRITERS: JACK BLADES, JIM PETERIK, NEAL SCHON, KEVIN CHALFANT

Verdict: Simplified but nice album
Rating: 82 out of 100 A bit too soft for me
Recommended for: Recent contry rock fans who love SHANIA TWAIN and recent Bryan Adams fans.

The king of ballads is at it again. what an amazing album. every song touches your heart or your life. his voice gets to you no matter where you are or whatever you're doing. Someone special is just incredible and days in avalon a relaxing vibe. This i promise you is tops. how he gave it to nsync and didnt release it himself i'll never know.
If you're into heartfelt lyrics and heartwarming music then go get the best songwriter ever.

4 out of 5 stars Richard fans...Check this one out!.......2004-04-13

The man who sang those hit ballads of the 80's and 90's is back at it again! The latest effort from Richard Marx, "Days In Avalon," is a gem! Songs such as the title track, as well as "The Power Of You and Me," and my personal favorite, the heartfelt "Straight From My Heart," a beautiful ballad Richard wrote about the loss of his father, are just a few of the songs that could have been potential hits for Richard, had radio embraced this album. The import version of the recording not only includes all of the songs from the original album, but also includes a few bonus tracks, including the song that N'Sync originally made a hit, and that Richard wrote, "This I Promise You," which is worth buying the import version for alone!
Richard is one of those artists who is often overlooked, but should not be, as he has had a major influence on music from the past and present; his catalog of number one hits and albums should speak for themselves. Richard started off as a backup vocalist for such artists as Madonna, Whitney Houston and Lionel Richie, and is now a top song writer and producer, having worked with Josh Groban, Luther Vandross, Barbra Streisand, Vince Gill and Natalie Cole, just to name a few.
