CD Reviews
Randy Edelman must be heard!

"This CD of Randy's is a rarity; you cannot find it in shops on the street. To find Amazon selling it was a dream. It's another masterpiece for Randy. He has a distinctive voice and piano playing technique. I have three of his other vocal albums and three singles created in the 70s, all are wonderful and are played regularly.He was introduced to me by a friend in a Jeep - thank you friend*.I urge you to buy this, you absolutely will not regret it. $27 is a small price to pay for such genius. I will continue to collect all Randy Edelman vocal 'masterpieces' that I can."

"This is a good seventies album. I listened to the LP many, many times when it was first issued. "If This Is Love" was a Melissa Manchester single, but the Edelman version is very strong and a highlight of the disk. His voice is a bit nasal and can be an acquired taste, but the songs carry the album. Mr. Edelman wrote Barry Manilow's "Weekend in New England" and Manilow fans would be likely to find this worth a listen."

"I have had an old tape of this for years now and just saw this CD. I didn't have to look at the reviews and asked for it for Christmas. Then I looked at the reviews and interestingly enough, one review specifically mentions four or five "great" songs on this Album. The interesting thing to me the songs not mentioned in that review, "Don't Let Go of Me," "Your the One,""Time Changes People", "My Heat Got in the Way", "If This is Love" that I enjoy the most. This is definitely the one to own."
Good cd

"Randy's last major push to crack the charts. His voice just had too much individual character for the US Top 40. He fared better in Britain. The subsequent album On Time flopped completely and I'm not convinced his last solo lp Switch of the Seasons ever existed. The production on this set of mostly love songs is stellar, the session musicians are real pros and the songwriting is good - but not great, like on his first 3 lps. One of his strengths is when he departs from ordinary subject matter, which he does here with the 30 year old that finally leaves home, and the peculiar Potato In the Rain. The gem here, though, is "All Along the Rhine," borrowed from Vivaldi or Pachebel. The quiet boat ride is a real thing of beauty, with a slight distraction when the lyric admires that "an empire still stands." Randy's solo career is mostly forgotten, when compared to the great success he later had writing movie scores. That's too bad. Randy has incredible piano and songwriting talent, at times highly emotional and affecting."
