5 out of 5 stars Hmmm............2004-12-29

It's no secret that Laine and McCartney had a major falling out and McCartney stopped speaking to him, so I have to give him props for doing something like this that is so plainly embarrassing for him. If it is an olive branch, I'm sure it will fall on deaf ears since McCartney is not the type to forgive and forget- but truthfully, Laine helped write some of these songs, so he has every right to sing some of them and put new arrangements on them or what not- Laine is a bit of a tragic figure- you certainly would never see Lennon doing this- but he has talent and he has a nice voice- I like his voice on these- he deserves another chance and I hope it works out for him- i think this is a good album to hear from him.

4 out of 5 stars Wings At the Sound of Denny Laine.......2004-03-18

Denny Laine was an original member of Wings, and the only person besides Paul & Linda McCartney to stay in the group for it's entire 10 years. You could be excused for not knowing his name, though, if you bought the Wingspan CD or DVD from a couple years ago. I think Paul might have mentioned Denny once in the entire 90 minute documentary, and overlooked his songs when compiling the Wingspan CD. This CD, recorded in 1996, has Denny revisiting the Wings songbook, singing some of the songs he wrote and sang with the group, as well as some of McCartney's best known Wings hits. Most of the songs get the unplugged treatment, which works especially well on "Mull of Kintyre", "Blackbird", and "Deliver Your Children'. "Silly Love Songs" and "Band on the Run" are full band arrangments. Denny's voice is much bluesier and rough edged than Paul's, but that is a plus in my book. Denny's also a very underrated guitarist, and the sparse arrangements give him a chance to show off his chops where appropriate. The bonus songs are worth hearing, too. Three of them come from his excellent 1996 CD "Reborn". A remake of his Moody Blues hit "Go Now" is also included.

2 out of 5 stars A good idea played very wrongly.......2000-07-20

Dont get me wrong, I am a huge Paul McCartney and Wings fan, that's why I bought this song. I loved Denny's songs with Wings back in the 70's. But, unfortunately, time has took its toll on our friend Denny. The songs are poorly sung and sound like a chicken being rung around its neck occasionally. Often, Denny strains to get at the right notes and often hits the wrong note entirely. OUCH! Again, the instruments play the songs very well, but it doenst matter if the voice is bad. Only two songs save the day..GO NOW and SEND ME THE HEART. Otherwise, avoid this at all costs. Sorry Denny, I love you but this album doesnt do you justice.

3 out of 5 stars Good but not extraordinary.......2000-05-12

Well, there are many versions of old Wings songs here, probably demos or masters recorded in the seventies, all of them sung by Denny. He's not an splendid singer, but the songs are really good. I specially recommend one of them, co-written with Paul McCartney, by the time of the Nashville sessions -1973-, which sounds much like "Sally G". Paul also does the backing vocals. It's called "Send me the heart".
