 (1 Customer Review)
Nights Are Forever was the breakthrough album for Dan Seals and John Coley after some sincere and excellent work on A&M Records in the early '70s. Two of their biggest hits were the title track and the beautiful "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight." Those songs are a good indication of the fine performances this 1976 album contains. The duo's originals like "Long Way Home" and the Dan Fogelberg-ish "Westward Wind" could have been hits as well displaying superb musicianship and delicate vocals. This album is very much a companion piece to the Parker McGee album recorded around the same time, on the same label, with pretty much the same musicians. Producer Kyle Lehning has the sounds so similar a survey panel would probably not be able to figure out which song came from which album. What Nights Are Forever has that the Parker McGee album does not is "There'll Never Be Another For Me," a song co-written by Parker McGee, England Dan, and John Ford Coley -- it is a rare look at what a perfect synergy these musicians have, and it is an exceptional song. You can feel how cautious and serious the two singers are here. By the time Dowdy Ferry Road was released in 1977 they were settling in to a formula, and 1979's Dr. Heckle and Mr. Jive has low points that feel like fatigue offsetting the highs. Nights Are Forever does not suffer that hit or miss dilemma; it captures the band while in between the magical folk minstrel material they espoused earlier and while developing the refined sound that brought them into the Top 25 a half a dozen times. "Lady" is a collaboration by McGee, Coley, Seals, and producer Kyle Lehning. They all seemed motivated to put out a highly commercial and sincere recording. "It's Not the Same," "Prisoner," "Showboat Gambler," and "Everything's Gonna Be Alright" are all high-grade material, making Nights Are Forever perhaps the finest album produced by these talented vocalists. ~ Joe Viglione

Nights Are Forever Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  An amazing album, even if it wasn't their debut
One misconception about this group is that this album was their debut. However, they made two albums prior to this one that barely garnered any attention at all. On the strength of "I'd Really Love To See You Tonight" and the title track, the album and the two singles shot to the top ten. The rest of the album was just as good, if not better. What is interesting is that England Dan, whose real name was Dan Seals, was the brother of Jim Seals of Seals & Crofts. However, this album is so musically and lyrically different from any Seals & Crofts album that it stands on its own in that respect. The greatest thing about this album is the songwriting and the harmonies. Without those, this album would have never even gotten out of the producer's office. It was a great start for the duo, and it still shines thirty one years after it was released.

While ANTHOLOGY provides a comprehensive overview of Bryan Adams's career and SO FAR SO GOOD anthologizes his early hits, THE BEST OF ME shows the Canadian pop-rocker's staying power by focusing on his finest work from the '90s onward. There are a couple of older tracks (rockers "Summer of '69" and "Run to You") thrown in for good measure, but the spotlight here is on Adams the balladeer, belting out lighter-waving, larger-than-life tunes like "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You." The new material here is added incentive for hardcore fans.
The Best of Me acts as a kind of companion piece to So Far ...

One man's stellar legacy is another man's millstone, and until the day he dies Graham Parker will doubtless find his latest music compared (usually unfavorably) to the four superb albums he cut in the 1970s: Howlin' Wind, Heat Treatment, Stick to Me, and Squeezing Out Sparks. To hear some folks talk about his body of work, you'd think Parker's muse had ...

Alice RoseHailing from blustery Copenhagen, Denmark, Alice Rose plays and sings some of the most beautiful and mesmerizing music this side of the Mississippi. Her one-woman performances, stunning vocals, her jugglers skill using samplers, viola, cello, violin, Casio keyboards, harmonicas, toys and beat boxes--all come together in a delicious concoction of electro-pop- equal parts trip-hop, jazz, pop, folk, electronica and dance.Ms. Rose’s musical journey started at an early age with violin and voice lessons, church choirs, and heated sibling sing-offs whose winner would be exempt from weekly chores. But one day she found a discarded 4-track recorder with a jammed tape. With a screwdriver and a hammer she freed the tape and discovered a way to compose and record her own music. Soon after, she made her first homemade album, a collection of four-track songs, which she released on casette tape in 1999.Since then, Alice has produced a great amount music both on her own and with a number of prominent electronic musicians – among others, Gabriel Ananda and Frank Martinik, she’s worked with Jazz musicians galore and done everything from gospel to techno. She has toured Europe and the US with her one-woman extravaganza, leaving a lasting impression and inspiration, and from this moment on, she is touring with a guest musician on board, the multi instrumentalist, Tom Ashforthon moog, guitar and drumpad. You are in for an exciting show!Her new album--Mora with the Golden Gun-- is ready and she is eager to share the music with the world. The album has been released in Denmark and Benelux in the fall of 2007, and will be distributed to the rest of the world by August 2008. So enjoy and make sure to check her out!www.myspace.com/alicerosemusicwww.alicerose.com ...
