Customer Reviews:

Not his best work.......2007-06-08

Richard Harris was and still is my favorite actor. I very much enjoyed A Tramp Shining as well. On this particular double cd, My Boy is the best of it all. Much of the music is terrible, and his delivery, unfortunately, is histrionic. I love the sound of his voice whether talking or singing but when the lyrics are ridiculous and the music pretty much the same, there wasn't much he could do about it. Except pass on the recording.

Golden Era Harris.......2007-05-01

I think this is an excellent, and most welcome compilation of a couple of Richard Harris albums from the long-ago, more innocent past. I don't know what I love about the guy--sincerity? And the music is always fabulous. At any rate, if you're a Richard Harris fan, I think you'll live with any vocal limitations he may have in order to get to the visceral connection. I like it. You'll probably like it, too.

He'll never have that recipe again... OH NOOOOO!!!!.......2007-04-01

I was a major, I mean, MAJOR fan of the Harris/Webb projects "A Tramp Shining" & "The Lawn Went On Forever" and this CD collection is nowhere near the artistry or sincerity of those two projects. Harris sounds like freakin' Robert Goulet in these two CD's and the arrangements are kinda' cheesy.

The songs on "Slides" are written by Tony Romeo who also wrote for the Partridge Family.

The "My Boy" disc does have some Webb songs on it which somewhat helps but Harris' singing is so lounge lizard slick it kinda' ruins the whole "regular guy" sound of the other two Webb projects.

I don't take a shine to this "Tramp" of a collection

For Richard Harris Fans Only.......2006-05-02

I would NOT recommend this CD to those who are not already RH fans. A Tramp Shining would be an infinitely better place to start if you are familiar with his work. Some reviewers (see review by Coolerking)are unaware that one of the songs on Disc 1)- "Ballad to an Unborn Child" - is actually the music from another RH movie "Man in the Wilderness". In my opinion the title song "Slides" is the sole highlight of Disc 2.Overall the title song, "Once Upon a Dustry Road," "I'm Comin' Home," and "Best Way to See America," form the value in Disc 2 with "Beth," "Ballad to an Unborn Child," "My Boy" and "This is the Way" being the strengths of Disc 1. A GOOD CD but, far from a GREAT CD. - Mountiain Man.

Irresistable Despite Some Hideous Notes!.......2006-04-02

If you are an obsessive fan of the loud, late Irishman as I am, you must buy this newly released two-fer. Some of the notes he hits are sublimely awful, but there are gems here, two, like "Sidewalk Song," "Ballad to an Unborn Child," "This is Where I Came In," on "My Boy." On "Slides," the album he himself was "rubbish," I was delighted to hear "Sunny Jo," as I lost my mother Joanne last year, "Once Upon a Dusty Road," and "Slides," which I call, "Dumbledore Sings." HA! There is a little treasure at the end on the bonus tracks called "Half of Every Dream" that is just beautiful.
