Customer Reviews:

HEY!.... JOHNNY! WOW...............2005-11-14

The title of this review is an old line brought about by the Colla/Lewis staple on so many hit's for 'Huey Lewis & The News' in the 1980's.

Of course, "The Heart Of Rock n Roll" has turned into a worthless wasteland with the
brain numbing crap produced today by "cookie cutter" bands and singers'...then comes Johnny Colla with a smooth blend of catchy tunes written in the old school Johnny way.

From track 1 all the way through, this IS a solid cd....for those of you like me who like country like a root canal, this is the exception you could almost call "Jazzy Country" WAY TO GO JOHNNY!

Johnny Colla is one great musician.......2004-05-11

This is one of the better cd's I have ever owned. I love all of the songs and know them all. Johnny has such a great gift and shares this gift with us. I bought the cd when it was first released. It is definately worth the money. I have been a HLN fan for over 20 years. They never stop impressing me.

GREAT JOB JOHNNY!!! PLEASE RELEASE ANOTHER ALBUM!!!!

The "Right Hand Man" goes it alone..........2004-01-26

After 25 years and around 30 Million records sold(worldwide)with one of Americas most successful groups of all time:Huey Lewis And The News, Johnny Colla goes it alone with his first solo record.From the sounds of things Johnny's been itching to do this for a few years and with HLN in semi-retirement these days(70 - 80 tour dates a year), it would have been the perfect opportunity. While the album isn't as strong a collection as the most recent Huey Lewis And The News album(Plan B)it does have some great tunes(Letter of the Law, New Romeo, Time Aint Money)and proves that Colla is still worthy not only as a songwriter/side man to Huey Lewis but as an artist in his own right.The style is more country/western than the rootsy R&B of The News and while its anything but contemporary, one thinks maybe Johnny should have done this in the late eighties / early nineties when HLN's commercial success was winding down but would have still had enough pull to give this album a major release.As of course there is little hope these days for artists like Colla(or Huey Lewis for that matter) to get major record label attention or priority.Unfortunately quality does not equal quantity these days but lets all hope that Johnny releases another record for us soon, either with or without the News,becasue he is still a voice that needs to be heard.

Johnny Does it on his own, and does it well........2004-01-12

As a hug Huey Lewis and the News fan as well as a sax player, I was anxious to hear Johnny's CD. Not sure what to expect, I tried to listen without pre-concived notions. I enjoyed this album a lot, especially the ballads. "Over and Over" and "Where are the Words?" are my favorites.

The album is hard to classify, but somewhere between pop and country is the best way to describe it. The kind of music you would hear in a bar, and want to follow the band around to hear it again.
