Product Description
A brand new album from the perennially popular theatre star, Michael Ball. In a departure from his usual choice of standards and songs from shows and films, this album is mainly drawn from Michael's own favourite songs from the last 30 years or so, from artists as disparate as Queen, John Miles, The Eagles, Sting and Simon and Garfunkel.
Many of these songs were performed on his 2004 UK tour and were warmly received by his fans, with some of the songs included at their request.

Customer Reviews
perfection
Michael Ball sings with his magnificent voice, AND SOUL - each CD seems to be better than the last. In this Cd he has taken some older songs (as well as one he has written)and makes them his own. His interpretation gives me goose bumps, of the nicest kind! Another superb album.
I disagree
I own this cd and I think I must have been listening to a different cd than the previous reviewer.How someone can say Michael Ball has no soul is beyond me. I also do not see what having a dig at fans or those who enjoy musicial theatre has got to do with it either.
This album is lovely to listen to. Michael's voice is as always resonates through everything he sings. His passion for what he's singing is obvious.
Utter Tripe
Sugar, no spice, just pathetic. Ball is no doubt a 'competent', even 'talented' singer but displays no soul whatsoever on these songs. Great interpretative singers make other people's songs their own, but not Michael Ball. You just think as the CD plays that the originals are so far and away superior that this you wonder why you're wasting your time. Sad to say, but this attempt is nothing more than a money-trawl through the crowds of middle-aged women or those seduced by those oh-so-artistic west end musicals. It has nothing to do with real music or real art. Even if you accept that and insist on the merits of easy-lstenting, there's a load of alternatives out there than wipe the floor with this rubbish. Buy, then bin. Better still, don't buy.
