I Definatly Recommend!
This Cd is really great! The first time I heard of Eagle Eye Cherry was on "Dawson's Creek" in which it played "Save Tonight". I automatically liked the song, cause of the great beat and lyrics, so I had to check out the rest of the Cd. All the songs, except for a couple {as most Cd's do}, have a good beat and cool lyrics, and the lead singer has a great voice for this type of music. Plus he really got into the sons, which helps a lot. The lyrics speak about real things in life. I would recommend this Cd to anyone.
A delightful surprise!
I loved the single "Save Tonight" on first listen, but I had no idea that I'd love the entire CD on first listen, very rare for me! Joins Lucinda Williams' "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" as a CD sure to be on my top 10 of the year list. Eagle-Eye is hard to categorize, but he's great at it all... folk, rock, world music, soul, pop. Very well produced, lots of intriguing instrumentation but never feels busy... to the contrary, it almost feels stripped down. Great stuff! If you like "Save Tonight," you won't be disappointed.
90s Hit!
"Save Tonight" was one of my brother and I's favorite songs in 1998. It's just so cool!
One of my favorite CD's
I bought this out of curiosity because someone I knew owned it and it turned out to be one of my favorite CD's. Strong throughout but "When Mermaids Cry" is the clear winner. Haunting.
Mellow rock
Eagle-Eye Cherry's platinum debut CD will be remembered primarily for the hit "Save Tonight" and his odd-sounding name, but it really is a terrific CD overall. It's the type of CD that I don't listen to often but impresses when I slip it into my stereo. Like "Save Tonight," most of the songs are mid-rock and mellow sounding, almost jazzy at times. None of the other songs really stand out as could-a-been hits because this CD is best listened to as a whole. The CD also ends beautifully with a cover of "Desireless," which was written by Eagle-Eye's father. Eagle-Eye wrote and co-produced most of the album, and he really is a major talent. Too bad Eagle-Eye's most recent CD didn't keep him in the spotlight, where he deserves to be.
The offspring of jazz-trumpet great Don Cherry and half-brother of both Neneh Cherry and Swedish pop diva Titiyo (who duets with her brother on "Worried Eyes"), Eagle-Eye proves that we are not who we're related to. He was born in Stockholm to Cherry and Swedish mixed-media artist Moki, and one might suppose a member of this clan to be as innovative as the rest of his brood, especially given such an idiosyncratic moniker. But it turns out that that's the only eccentric thing about this musician. Cherry offers up a low-key, melodic diary of tales of his misspent youth in New York. And despite the music's soft-focus part-Cat Stevens, part-Ben Harper leanings, occasionally you realize that Eagle-Eye must have pasted posters of Ozzy Osbourne and Jimi Hendrix on his bedroom wall. "Indecision" (supposedly a rejoinder to Stockholm neo-Nazi "White Noise" bands like Swastika) rides on a searing Richie Blackmore lick. "Save Tonight" is a bittersweet reworking of Peter, Paul and Mary's "Leaving on a Jet Plane" theme. The title song updates his late father's "Desireless," which is revitalized via sparse piano, a haunting trumpet, and Cherry's hypnotic, repetitive vocals. Here it's clear that, even though he is dabbling in the shoals of alt-folk-rock, Eagle-Eye can claim a limb on the family tree anytime he wants.
