Richard Marx at his best....
The songs are wonderful, his voice kills me (in a good way!) and the production is perfect. This CD is Richard Marx at his absolute best. For my additional two cents, the song "One More Time" is one of the most exquisite recordings I've ever heard in my life. Good for you, Richard!.


Awesome!
If you are a fan of Richard Marx, you will pay the extra to hear him sing the N'sync hit-"This I Promise You". Great, I am very happy to purchase this cd. Then you will wonder why didnt Richard just keep that for himself. .


Fantastic Listening
Amazon shipped it right in time for christmas. Being a Richard Marx fan, this collection is just so cool. It is a must buy for any RM fan.

Simple Life
S in 2000 from the indie label includes Richard's own version of NSYNC super hit THIS I PROMISE YOU. 2003 Japan/Asia version of Days In Avalon previously released in U. And different version of SOMEONE SPECIAL in recent comeback album MY OWN BEST ENEMY.

This one sounds sequel to Paid Vacation album in 1993 in which some country flavored approach were tried. If you can love this album depends on how you can accept Richard's change of direction from dynamic pop arrangemnt of 80s to simplified acoustic one. For me that sort of conversion takes a lot of time because I am a huge fan of his first three hit albums.

It seems country rock approach seems successful particularly I love STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART, pure James Taylor like nice country song. POWER OF YOU AND ME could be a SHANIA TWAIN song.
While most of the songs are soft ballads ALMOST EVERYTHING and UNTIL YOU COME BACK TO ME is a nice rock song though a bit simplified mixing. On ballad side ONE MORE TIME is most impressive one.

MY DREAM RICHARD COMEBACK ALBUM
But I think his country rock approach could not last long for I feel his voice is more fit to rock just as REPEAT OFFENDER did and I strongly hope his next one would be more rock approached one. Here's the list of dream supporting musicians.

PRODUCERS: JIM PETERIK/MARK TANNER
GUITARS: STEVE LUKATHAR and TOMMY DENANDER
BACKVOCALS: TOMMY SHAW/JACK BLADES
SONGWRITERS: JACK BLADES, JIM PETERIK, NEAL SCHON, KEVIN CHALFANT

Verdict: Simplified but nice album
Rating: 82 out of 100 A bit too soft for me
Recommended for: Recent contry rock fans who love SHANIA TWAIN and recent Bryan Adams fans.

Days in Avalon
what an amazing album. The king of ballads is at it again. every song touches your heart or your life. his voice gets to you no matter where you are or whatever you're doing. Someone special is just incredible and days in avalon a relaxing vibe. This i promise you is tops. how he gave it to nsync and didnt release it himself i'll never know.
If you're into heartfelt lyrics and heartwarming music then go get the best songwriter ever.
