5 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Collection!.......2006-05-03

Gary Wright was born in New Jersey, but he started recording in 1967 and then moved on to work with "Spooky Tooth". In 1970 he was one of many upcoming talents that helped with George Harrison's keyboards on his famous 3-LP, "All Things Must Pass". Now this collection gathers the best from his studio recordings from 1971 to 1998. Its mostly a seventies sound with blockbusters like, Love Is Alive" and "Dreamweaver", but other songs like "Touch And Gone" are thrillers. Along with those, he manages some good heart-breaking ballads, such as, "Someone Like You". The songwriting, instrumentals and vocals are all top notch and this is really the best collection available with great liner notes.

5 out of 5 stars Better than Expected.......2005-11-24

I bought this CD for "Dream Weaver" and "Love is Alive". In addition to adding these mid-70s cruising-in-the-car favorites to my collection, I now have a much greater appreciation for Gary Wright's entire career. Everything on the disc is of the highest quality - no filler at all. It's an excellent buy.

5 out of 5 stars Good Collection of Gary Wright's Career.......2004-12-01

This cd really thoroughly covers the highlights of Gary Wright's musical career from the the Spooky Tooth and Wonder Wheel days through his huge solo successes of the 70's all the way to the present. All his hits are here Dream Weaver,Love Is Alive,I Really Wanna Know You,Two Faced man,etc. It's worth buying since most of Gary Wright's solo cds are out of print in the USA.

4 out of 5 stars Beyond Dream Weaver.......2004-01-05

Gary Wright is one of 70's greatest songwiters that had worked with a number of great talents before their glorious 80s days including Mick Jones(Foreigner) and Steve Winwood during Spooky Tooth times. He is also known as the trendsetter in keyboard/synth featured techno pop. So this compilation which came out in 1998 is sort of unknown treasures of 70s that finally see the light of day.

GET ON THE RIGHT ROAD and I KNOW A PLACE really rock somewhat Three Dog Night styled. STAND FOR OUR RIGHTS is one of my favorites other than huge hits such as DREAMWEAVER and LOVE IS ALIVE. KEEP LOVE IN YOUR SOUL featuring Steve Lukather as guitar solo is something like TOTO material while ARE YOU WEEPING is Steve Winwood trademark style.

Highly recommended if you like 70s mainstream American Pop.

5 out of 5 stars The founder of Techno Rock before tech become popular.........2003-08-13

Gary Wright was born early in the sense the time he experienced wasnt acknowledged his talent in the way he really deserves it.
Gary is the perfect combination of musical skills, experimentation, melody sense, poetry and a lot of personal memories....every time I hear this CD a lot of personal remembrances come to my head.
Definitely the creation power of this song and music writer cant found more acknowledgement in his time...maybe for technical reasons or maybe because of other stars in the sky were shinning in those days......
