REVIEW:

A must for any Orleans fan, November 10, 2002 By David W Ellis III (Cincinnati, OH USA)

Great effort by one of the best and most underrated bands of all time. Orleans has always combined pertinent lyrics on a variety of topics, great harmonies and very strong instrumentals - this cd has all of the tracks on the original recordings of their 2nd and 3rd albums: Let There Be Music and Waking & Dreaming - the disc entitled Still the One is fine but leaves off some outstanding cuts including The Path (awesome harmonies),You've Given Me Something (great feel good, lyrics and yet it rocks),Let There Be Music (one of their classics) or Golden State (nice vocal by John Hall)- now if they would only release their original album on cd because it is a 5 star as well.
