dreamland express - great expression (5 stars)
Being only 10 years younger as John Denver, I grew up with his music. I have rediscovered his incredible music, lyrics and songs after watching a PBS special. This cd is another brilliant side of him. We all remember him as the good ole boy, but here is an extremely mature full bodied voice of an incredible song writer! Some of the songs are ok, others are from another, deeper, side of him. Listen to his voice, it is truly rich.............. |  | | | rockawayrecords a great place for CDs (5 stars)
This CD was sold as "used" but it looks like brand new. This company is honest on their descriptions and quick to ship. | | | | Not Denver's finest hour (2 stars)
I really like John Denver,but I HATE this record.By 1985,when MTV, Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie's dance-flavoured music ruled the airwaves,and John's record sales were waning,you can tell some bean counter or wunderkinder record producer at RCA/BMG thought "I know! Let's give him a more 'modern' sound and image!We'll even put him in a sexy video!The kids will love it!" So rather than the acoustic folk/rock sound & bittersweet self-penned paens to nature and romantic love than characterised his usual style,here John goes thru' the motions of singing works by others that include soul,R & B and even a disco song!It's an ill fit,and although vocally and artistically he does his best(the soaring falsetto vocals on 'If I Ever" being particularly fine)his heart simply isn't in it.The exception is 'African Sunrise'the only original Denver tune on the LP,a song written while the singer spent time in Ethiopia for the Hunger Project,and the only one that he sounds truly 'at home' on.If you'd like to seek out Denver's music,I'd recommend my favorite Denver albums"I Want to Live" and 'Windsong"-full of beautiful melodies and lush orchestration & much more indicative of the true talent of the man.This album is an unfortunate abherration from an impressive body of work from a lovely singer-songwriter.When he was on form though,nobody could beat him as a showman and songwriter.There was no one else quite like him and like many,I miss him. | | | | BIG JOHN DENVER FAN VERY DISAPPOINTED (2 stars)
This CD has 3 very good songs (Don't Close Your Eyes, Tonight, If Ever and Dreamland Express) but the rest belong in some shame pit somewhere. This one was the beginning of the end for Denver. | | | | A Real Kick* (4 stars)
Listening to John Denvers' Folklore-Ballads is one unique experience, but playing this CD is an experience.
From the mundane pure mountain style, to the 'Rich in Spirit', this
high level energy music seems to be a real gusher.
It is a twist and a kick of musical relationships between society and lovers.
Each word is written with John Denvers vivacious color coded notes.
~It is exciting and yet serious. I enjoy this tremendously.
