It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Al Jarreau energies, virtually a rebirth. This is one of the best Cd’s Al Jarreau has dropped to date. This album has some very good songs like Compared To What and Goodhands Tonight. If you love Al Jarreau as much as I do, then Al Jarreau The Best of Al Jarreau is the CD for you!
In Goodhands Tonight it becomes nowhere more obvious that Al Jarreau has yet to define own style. After about the third Agua De Beber listen through, I began to believe this song is Al Jarreau’s essence. In Your Song Al Jarreau is at his best. Take Five is possibly the best song Al Jarreau has come up. Spain gets you up and jumping. Never Givin’ Up is really a nice song to relax and listen too. Breakin’ Away - Check out that bassline! Roof Garden (5:32) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! We’re In This Love Together had me crying as I was able to relate so well. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Boogie Down is exquisite song though, very addictive. This track is clearly meant to showcase Al Jarreau’s vocal abilities. Since I Fell For You is a very catchy tune. L Is For Love is a bit of a show-tune. I was truly moved when I heard So Good. Al Jarreau offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself.
