4 out of 5 stars No wobbling from Watkins with "Bold as Blue".......2000-04-07

Top British Keyboard player Watkins has finally released a follow up to his well previous album with the Dominators.

After years of playing on other peoples records (notably Edmunds and/or Lowe) and subsequently with Van Morrison and Paul McCartney, Geraint shows what he himself can do.

No Alligator/Cajun stuff just excellant songs, very well played by himself and a few chosen friends (including Nick Lowe on Bass). Mostly crooning, rolling Fats Domino like songs, they are a joy to listen to and appreciate, as is his piano playing (but then again he is somewhat special on either piano or accordian). Particular favourites of mine are "It's a wonderful life", "Don't Stop" and "Big Bad Dog" but there isn't a bad track on the CD.

You never know, he might return to do "Another Avergae Night in Wingrave". Now that would be special.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous!.......1999-02-23

I saw Geraint Watkins play with Nick Lowe and made a special point to write down his name after Nick let him play a couple of his (Geraint's) own songs - his performance was memorable. I'm so glad I did - what a great record, just irresistible! The songs are warm, sweet, funny and catchy, paired with fine musicianship from all. Don't Stop is my personal favorite, I can't possibly tire of this record no matter how many times I listen. How refreshing to hear a recording from someone so clearly enjoying what they do and doing it with such heart. It sounds corny but it's the truth.

4 out of 5 stars Fun and first-rate recording.......1998-12-15

I thoroughly enjoy this CD after numerous listenings--the song lyrics are clever and the tunes catchy. Watkins's personality and musicianship shine throughout; his musical twist on the daily rudeness (or joy) of life (or love) keeps this recording in my CD mix.
