I am a fan of music. No, I am a fanatic ABOUT music. And I am passionate about Elvis, 80's Metal, and The Blues. I love Launch Internet Radio, because my station is primarily 80's metal and blues. I get to hear artists that I would probably never hear otherwise because there is no blues station in my area on the radio. So when I heard a song called "I Still Long For Your Kiss" by Peter Gallagher I was blown away. That's the dude from "While You Were Sleeping" and t.v.'s The O.C.. Great actor.....Fantastic singer. I was shocked, an actor that can actually sing! I bought the CD on Ebay and from the opening track to the last, it is pure raw emotion. Peter Gallagher sings with such conviction, electrical energy and feeling that you can not get away without knowing what having the blues feels like. The songs are a great collection of previously recorded blues and soul songs. The horns in "Still Got The Blues" add a power to the deep electic-blue guitar riffs that are nothing short of spectacular. The mix of blues and smooth jazz in "Everytime It Rains" leave you waiting on edge to hear what the next track will sound like. The highlight of the CD is "I've Got To Love Somebody's Baby", for me at least. The song starts with a slow traditional blues beat, I was hooked right away. But seconds into, the horns blare on the scene and the pulse begins to pick up. With the gradually building tempo, and Peter's powerful bluesy voice, embedded with just the right amount of raspiness, carries you to a crescendo of musical emotion. The song "Leave Right Now" left me listening to it over and over and over. I wanted to learn the words because I was dying to sing along to it. An upbeat, jazzy, organ laden love song, of a man wrestling with falling in love and risking getting hurt, or getting out now and licking his wounds before they get too deep. I love this CD!! I have over 500 CD's in my collection. That is where I stopped counting about 2 years ago. About a third of them are some form of blues CD from B.B. King and Stevie Ray Vaughn to Los Lonely Boys and Poppa Chubby. This CD is easily in my top 10 favorites if not the top 5. I have listened to it over and over again, and will continue to do so. It is playing right now on my computer. I easily recommend this CD to anyone who loves traditional blues, jazz, soul or light rock. You will be very surprised. Peter can sing baby, Peter can sing.

Love this album! Been looking for it forever and am enjoying all the songs on it! This album should get more playtime on the radio. Songs like Still I Long For Your Kiss, Still Got The Blues, and A Song For You are great!
