This is a great intro disc for those who are just discovering him. CDs are so cheap now, if you still have a CD player, snap up his entire catalog up to this point. You will like about half of everything…either the ballads, or the “movers”. There’s plenty of late 70’s and early 80’s schlock in there, and some blues rockers that hold up very well. Regarding these re-recordings…I am making my exhaustive compilation (“best of”) from all his CDs. For this disc, if I didn’t care for the original, the re-do here didn’t change the verdict. Let’s Dance is a bit more sped up and energized. Otherwise the same. But after listening at to it at this beat, the original, on “Dancing With Strangers” seems sluggish. Shamrock Diaries is also much more upbeat, but, as such, loses some of the haunting feel of the original. I put the original on my compilation, and will save this version to go with my disc full of EP’s and rarities. Steel River is also more upbeat and a total gem. Read full review
