Hal Ketchum......I Love This CD!!! Then I saw him on Austin City Limits singing songs from this CD and fell in love with his music! I grew up listening to the Country greats - Hank Williams, Kitty Wells, Ernest Tubb, Ray Price, Ferlin Husky, Carl Smith, etc. I'd heard, and liked, Hal on the radio for years. . . Okay, the songs on "I Saw the Light" have a little lusher arrangements in general, but still there is something about the music that makes me think of classic country. Maybe it's that the songs have the ring of everyday-truth that Hank's had or that Hal's voice is as warm and sweet as Ray Price's. Whatever the reason, I consider this CD Classic country. It is never out of my CD player for long and I never even THINK of skipping a song. My favorites are 'Tell Me', 'Long Way Down', 'The Unforgiven', and 'For Tonight', but really there is not a bad song on the entire CD. If you like Classic country. . . heck, if you like good music period, give this CD a try. . arghargharghdiediedie this should be burned for the awful cover of Rundgren's great song :P. Hal's touching cd This cd is a cd that will give you chill bumbs all over your body. This is a great cd that shows how well Hal Ketchum can sing and write songs. This cd is to show to his fans that he can still sing and write awesome songs!! If i was you i would purchase this cd. "I Saw the Light"......simply AWESOME! He has a style all his own. I'm a newcomer to Hal's music, but of the four tapes of his that I own, this is most definitely my favorite. . . so real and enthusiastic. . . this is one CD you won't wanna pass up! A few of my favorite cuts are: "For Tonight", "The Unforgiven", "Tell Me" and "When Love Looks Back at You". Such an incredible compilation of songs. . . you won't regret purchasing this one!. Finally, I saw the light... This long awaited CD features several songs well equipped for country radio starting with the lead single "I Saw The Light. A new wife, a new home in Chicago, and a new CD; life seems to be looking downright peaceful for Hal Ketchum. " Other recommendable songs are "When Love Looks Back At You," "Too Many Memories," and "The Unforgiven. " This is a great CD and is worth taking a listen to.
