It should come as no surprise to anyone here that this is a pretty terrific record. Prior to the Audities diaspora, we would have been all over this one. The first Beat album is in my all-time Top Ten, and Collins is back in that neighborhood with this new album. There's a little more grit in the voice, but in a good way. When I looked at the track list before listening and saw that he was covering "The Letter" and "You Tore Me Down," I feared for a shortage of good original material. Nope, good strong songs all throughout, and those covers fit right in. Go get it! www.thepaulcollinsbeat.co Drew
