DENNIS DEYOUNG-The Ultimate Collection


I don't if I would call it that, but it is not far off. This cd pull heavy from Dennis' first two cds DESERT MOON and BACK TO THE WORLD. It pulls 6 of 8 songs off each cd. But only pulls 3 of 8 from BOOMCHILD. The problem I have with that, I think BOOMCHILD and DESERT MOON are far superior to BACK TO THE WORLD. And the weakest of that cd is even more evident hear when compared to the other two cds.
It does contain one new song, if you want to call it new. The Grand Illusion is rerecorded here with Dennis and his band, along with a symphony orchestra. The new recording comes off good, but shame on the shortened guitar solo. Also shame nothing from 10 ON BROADWAY is on this cd. Over all a good start if you don't have any of his solo cds.
Grade B+
