"I was a bit hesitant about ordering this CD...I am a big fan of Russell Watson in the classical genre that we associate with him...but after reading the reviews both here and at Amazon U.K....I decided to try it. I am truly amazed at how good he sounds!! He can absolutely sing anything! Every track is excellent. The House of the Rising Sun is the best! How a tenor could get his voice to such a low, rich register is beyond me...but proves how very versatile he is. Don't hesitate to buy this...it doesn't disappoint."
Consistently the best

"Every since I first heard Russell Watson I enjoyed his voice and was hooked. Once again he is consistently the best male vocalist ever. This man can sing anything. I especially love this album since it brings me back some years to some very special moments. If you could wear out a CD by playing it over and over again, I'm sure that this is one.

"I also am a fan of Russell Watson, it's easy to see that these songs are among some of his favorites, he sings them beautifully and they could be released as hit singles today. I will enjoy listening to this cd many times throughout the years."
