Gerald Levert Geralds World Rock Music CD Review I can describe the latest release from Rock sensation Gerald Levert for you with one word ... Outstanding!
The CD begins with an exceptional experience, Soul Mate, that I suspect will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and rightly so. It's really a very nice track.
Rock music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play with Levert on several tracks. Artists such as Randy Bowland and Emma Kummrow to name two.
This is a CD chip, offering a little something for everyone. I give two thumbs. It is quite simply brilliant listening. A must buy for the casual rock fan.
While the entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 - DJ played our song, track 3 - What makes it good for you, track 15 - Dream With No Love
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [... as in "Stuck On Repeat"] is track 1 - Soul Mate. Is a great track!
