Jim is great, this CD is not,

This review is from: Jim Croce Nashville Tribute (Audio CD)
Being a sucker for all things Jim Croce, I bought this CD. I just listened to it again and I have to agree with the previous poster's sentiment: YUCK. Almost all of these versions of Jim's songs just do not work at all. The only two I even halfway liked are the Rapid Roy by Mark Collie and I'll Have to Say I Love You by Lane Brody. I hope one day someone does a really good Jim Croce cover album, because the songs themselves are unbeatable. In short: good idea, bad execution.

This review is from: Jim Croce Nashville Tribute (Audio CD)
I suppose that it's because I have Jim Croce's own version of these songs ingrained in my head so deeply -- most of the covers are fairly sticky sweet, the exception being the cover of "One Less Set of Footsteps", which I think rocks no matter who is singing it. I would suggest that Jim Croce fans get the original greatest hits album -- this one misses.

YUCK!!!!!,

This review is from: Jim Croce Nashville Tribute (Audio CD)
I think my summary can be best stated in 1 word--"YUCK!"
Don't waste your money on this cd. Buy anything original by Jim Croce instead!! I would rate this a zero but that option wasn't available!!
