Customer Reviews

A kind 4 star review
I've listened to this album twice now, I hope it will grow on me. I don't consider alternating with another singer a duet, it would have been nice to have some great harmonies. Unfortunately Cliffs voice is getting older.
'Anyone who had a heart' with Dionne Warwick is the worst version I've heard.
'She means nothing to me' with Phil Everly was not bad and they actually sang together.
'All I ask of you" with Sara Brightman not very good at all
'Let there be love' with Matt Monroe great to hear Matt in good voice {much better than Cliff} tho' no duet.
"Throw down the line' an ok rehash if you call Hank's guitar playing a duet.
'Fields of Gold with Barry Gibb'... Dissapointing
"Up where we belong' with Anne Murray, Pretty good and some harmonizing too, definitely one of the better tracks
"Slow Rivers' with Elton John, Good!
'Suddenly' with Olivia Newton-John, pretty good
'Reunited' with Lulu I was looking forward to this track, alas it didn't reach my expectations, perhaps because of the production, it was somewhat 'tinny'
I love Cliff, I think he has a lot of class, but sometimes he loses it in origionality.

Not strong duet work
If a duet is taking turns with the lead, then this is an album of duets. It's disappointing to me that there isn't more strong harmony work. Perhaps it was necessary to let 'the guests' solo and so be showcased. I don't think the vocal blends are very good either (perhaps that's why there's not much actual duet work). And does Hank playing the guitar on a song really count as a duet with Hank? Dionne Warwick was a great singer and I enjoyed her work in the sixties. I also enjoyed Anne Murray's many excellent recordings, but the duets here simply don't work for me. The strongest track is the old "She Means Nothing to Me" which is great in large part because Cliff and Phil sing together for much of the song. I don't like the new version of "Move It." It's not a duet. Was the original labelled a duet? No, but it had alternating guitar and vocal work just like this one. So folks, I'm not too pleased I bought this. Here's hoping Cliff and the Shads put out something good for their 50th anniversary in 2008.

Great album!
I love this album. It hasnt been out of my cd player since I got it.

Cliff's voice sounds beautiful on all the songs and artists like Barry Gibb, Dione Warwick, G4 and many others are great duet partners.

The new version of Move It with Brian May is brilliant - I love the original but love this just as much.

Anyone who had a heart with Dionne Warwick is beautifully sung as is Miss You Nights with G4 - their voices compliment Cliff's beautifully and the harmonies are lovely.

Another favourite of mine is Fields of Gold a stand out track on the album having a lovely arrangement and Cliff and Barry Gibbs voices are beautifully harmonious together.

The version of Danny Boy with Helmut Lotti is a real treat as is Up Where We belong with Anne Murray.

Yesterday Once More and She Means Nothing to Me are also fabulous.

The only duet I would have changed would be Had to Be (with Olivia) in place of Suddenly. But that's just a personal wish as Had to Be is my favourite Cliff duet ever.

Two's Company is a really beautiful album and I'd love to have another similarly done in the future.
