"With seven new studio tracks as well as twelve live tracks Sir Michael Bolton has arrived back in action ready to once again takeover the airwaves as well as the world.
Whether you love his music or dislike it...
Here he is once again, and it's about time.
Highlights are: "I'm Alive", "Til The End Of Forever" "Time, Love & Tenderness" and "Steel Bars" even though every containment on the entire round circular disc of plastic is beyond worthy of purchase.
The only disadvantage of this release is that the extravagant "Georgia On My Mind" was not included.
Otherwise 5/5. Time to buy. [...]
Have a spectacular day...
Sincerely,
Timothy Nelson

"I'm not an avid Michael Bolton fan, but this is a great CD. Especially touching is his song "The Courage In Your Eyes". (Which he also wrote). His style is certainly different, his voice raw, but he does have talent. John T, may have been "around" the music business for years, but you don't have an ear for real talent. Justin, I would have appreciated an intelligent critical review, not just nonsense. I would recomend this CD to anyone wanting to hear blusy music with real soul."
What a voice!

"I just saw Michel in concert here in Amsterdam on the 5th of October,and what a fantastic show it was,it was the first time in i believe 10 years Michael was in Holland,i always wanted to see him live and and bought my tickets the first dat they went on sale,and it was money well spend. All the classic bolton Hits and covers of legendary soul songs were there,so after the show i got this cd at the fan product stand,only a shame he did not sing any of the new songs on it because there are true Bolton gemms,especialy the song "Courage In Your Eyes" wich opens with a soundbite from a speech by Dr. Martin Luther King,this song brought tears to my eyes knowing he's singing about a wonderfull man ,a beautiful tribute to Dr King.
The live recordings are a great ,especialy if you saw one of his shows on his current world tour. I never heard his album "My Secret passion" but was amazed by the live recording of "Nesun dorma" a wonderfull performance by Michael,also the disney song "Go the distance" is a wonderfull live performance. and the interaction in the instrumental part of the Nesun Dorma with his audience is very funny. If you are not or never were a Bolton fan i have one tip for you "Go see him live" he is one of those few artists who sounds even better live than on a studio recording,"Great cd ,get it now""
Bolton shines again

"A live album was anxiously expected for his fans all around the world and he hasn't dissapointed us.
The first six new studio songs are very inspiring. Specially: "I'm Alive", "Til The End Of Forever" and the wonderful "Next Lifetime" do really touch listener deeply. And the first time you listen to them, you get all their message. Then he gifts us a "reggae" version of one of his favourite hits of all his career: "Said I Loved You... But I Lied".
However, Bolton really shines with all his strengh on the second part of the album, with live performances. All of them, from beginning to end, are simply amazing. His voice sounds better than ever, if possible, and the songs are well chosen, including them all would have been impossible.
