I Believe Music Review

Average Rating: (3.5 out of 5 stars) 3.5 stars

5 stars Where is the REAL
The music on this album is great as are all of Perry's songs so I have rated it "5 stars". But that's only for the quality of the artist, which is always tops, and not for the collection! I, too, am disappointed that this album has been changed so. The original "I Believe" was totally religious music--mostly Christian and some Jewish--all so very moving. All of Perry's renditions are beautiful and should be retained and the ones on this album are no exception. But there are those of us who love the ones he dedicated to our Maker. Perry did them in a way that came from his heart. We would like to be able to keep those treasures as technology continues to develope. Don't throw away some of the best!! I have come in contact with a number of people searching the internet for the original album on CD and all have had the same disappointing results. We find a CD titled "I Believe" and the excitement hits rock bottom when we see the tracks. PLEASE HELP US!!!

2 stars BMG
This is yet another example of BMG trashing Perry Como's recorded legacy with recorded tracks released entirely out of context and obviously remastered from copies of copies. Six of the ten tracks released here are monaural versions from one of Perry's finest albums recorded and released in full stereophonic sound and only three songs are from his original album titled "I Believe". His recording of "Ave Maria" released here, the only one in stereo, is mislabelled as the version recorded in 1959 ( which would have been a real collector's item )and in fact is from his 1968 Christmas Album. BMG is flying by the seat of their pants and continue to be incompetent with regard to their Perry Como releases! This could have been an excellent compilation but BMG is treating their customers and Como fans as fools!

Tommy Roe Greatest Hits CD (1986)

I Believe songs

$6.45

Tommy Roe's Greatest Hits on Onyx Classix is a ten-track collection that looks fishy right from the get-go. "Crimson & Clover," "Sugar Sugar," and "Baby I Love You" were not hits for Roe, and indeed the whole collection is pretty much a rip-off. The songs are re-recorded versions of Roe's big hits (plus the three songs previously mentioned) done in what sounds like the '80s, going by the sound of the drums and the keyboards. Roe's voice itself still sounds very good and it might have been interesting to hear him revisit "Sheila," "Jam Up and Jelly Tight," and "Dizzy" if the musical backing were sympathetic or even interesting. It isn't, however, and you should give this misleadingly packaged disc a wide berth. (This same material has been repackaged and retitled by other unscrupulous record companies, so be vigilant and read the fine print when buying a budget Roe collection.) ~ Tim Sendra Tommy Roe's Greatest Hits on Deluxe is a ten-track collection that looks fishy right from the get-go.

Barry Manilow Live On Broadway CD (1987)

I Believe album

$5.59

In this lavish Broadway spectacle--complete with a big band, backup singers, and a stage show--the irrepressible Barry Manilow gives an overview of his life story in song. He introduces the musical odyssey with "Sweet Life" and "It's A Long Way Up," and listeners are taken from his humble beginnings ("Brooklyn Blues") through his first experiences in the business ("Up Front"). "Mandy" closes this phase of his life (and the first set), the hit single that finally brought him recognition as a songwriter and performer. The second set touches on his failed marriage ...

Definitive Tom Jones 1964-2002 CDs (2003) England; Box Set

I Believe CD music

$90.25

This four-disc retrospective anthology spans nearly 40 years in the career of Welsh singer Toots Thielemans. Over 90 tracks from the years 1964 to 2002 are accompanied by a 64-page booklet containing sleeve notes, photos, and discography. The Definitive Tom Jones 1964-2002 pretty much fulfills the criteria most fans expect a multi-disc, career-spanning box set to satisfy. The four-CD, 93-track collection includes most of his chart hits -- and all of the big ones, though some minor entries get skipped over -- as well as a load of less familiar album tracks. Diehards might particularly rue the absence of the 1977 Top 20 single "Say You'll Stay Until Tomorrow," his cover of "Resurrection Shuffle" (which charted as a B-side in the U.S. in 1971), and his early single "This and That." Also, the sheer weight of material means that it's not nearly as concentrated in its power as a more concise greatest-hits collection. It becomes less and less interesting as it ventures beyond the early '70s, particularly on the last CD, taken up by a good number of clubby productions and celebrity duets from the 1990s and early 2000s. Still, Jones' remarkable voice remains at peak efficiency even on the fourth disc, something you can say of few other pop singers when they pass the half-century mark. And the collection does document his versatility in a number of genres -- rock & ...

Alison Krauss & Union Station: Alison Krauss (vocals, fiddle, viola); Dan Tyminski (vocals, guitar); Ron Block (vocals, guitar, National guitar, banjo); Barry Bales (vocals, electric & acoustic upright basses, arco bass); Adam Steffey (vocals, mandolin, mandola). SO LONG SO WRONG won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album. "Looking In The Eyes Of Love" won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.

Twenty-five-year-old Alison Krauss has singlehandedly revived popular interest in bluegrass, and SO LONG SO WRONG finds her own popularity at a peak: It follows up her 1995 collection NOW THAT I'VE FOUND YOU, which sold an astonishing 2 million copies.

Raymond Fairchild Plays The Classics CD (2002)

I Believe album

$13.05

When banjoist Raymond Fairchild burst upon the folk revival scene in the early '60s, he was hailed as the real deal. His picking borrowed from Earl Scruggs and others, but he had also carved out a distinct style that combined the three-finger method with single note runs. Plays the Classics was compiled from two albums that Fairchild recorded in the 1980s, Raymond Fairchild Plays Requests and World Champion Banjo. He's joined by guitarist Josh Crowe, bassist Wayne Crowe, and fiddler Arvil Freeman on 13 classics stretching from "Flint Hill Special" to "Under the Double Eagle." It's amazing what Fairchild can do with even a simple piece like "T for Texas," ...
