After the Paradiso concert in November I bought myself the new CD "It has to be". In my opinion this CD is not John's best one. The songs I like most are "Brothers", "60's Life" and "Dance on". Personally spoken the songs I dont like are "Fate and Destiny" and "Barcelona nights". Also it's a pitty that on this "Limited Edition" there is the original version of "What a time to live", and not the French version. Is there anyone else who bought this cd and who would like to give his opinion?  |

Ik ben inmiddels ook in het bezit van de nieuwe CD. Na de eerste keer luisteren moet je eraan wennen. De electrische gitaar is niet aanwezig op de CD, maar gelukkig wel andere instrumenten zoals bass en keyboard. Het is een afwisselende CD met ballads (Barcelona Nights), een geweldige dansplaat waarvan ik hoop dat het de nieuwe single wordt (Dance on), een paar stevige nummers (Is there a God; Hard work and hapiness; Most amazing dog ...) en een paar geweldige en mooie acoustische nummers (Brothers; Grandmother ...). Het is niet de beste CD van John Watts, maar wel weer een die apart is en geen herhaling is van het andere werk. Advies: eerst veel draaien en dan beoordelen. Deze CD mag niet in je collectie ontbreken!

Van Roman's (NY friend of JW) blog: ( romangame.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html ) It Has To Be John Watts!Oh, yes, he's back - the man has proven his longevity ages ago, anyway. Just have a look at his discography and you'll learn about his productivity. But this newest coup stuns even us old Watts fans. You'll remember, John was in NYC in spring to promote his brand new double CD and book "Real Life Is Good Enough" . He played a show at Detour and we enjoyed a few interesting days in the city. He calls me up a few weeks later with a new project: He wanted to travel through Europe and film the people he meets, hear their stories and then write a song about them. Would I be able to arrange a meeting between him and my brother in Zurich? They met and hit it off on May 14th, incidentally my bro's birthday. John with Brother A. in ZurichWell, a short six months later John is on tour already again, played Helsinki in Zurich and presented Adrian with his song - Brothers. Something to be proud of. The CD is a masterpiece, Johns voice and acoustic guitar in the foreground, a great and decent band (with Johns long time collaborator Ian Porter on bass) and gems of songs. We might even go as far as to declare this album one of John's best. 10 stars for the album, 10 points for the person who can decipher Johns greeting on the cover...  |
