I have had Croc. 1 for ages and I love it, so I thought I'd buy Croc. 2.

It's just as good. You won't be disappointed.

If you like Jimmy's soulful, scratchy voice, you'll enjoy this. He sings with so much heart and feeling.

I much prefer this to Crocodile 1 . This album is just the tonic to play and relax after that busy day that has gone before. It has the combined quality of country overtones and the melodic voice of Jimmy , a vastly under played artist . If you are new to Jimmy,s music ,i could,nt value this album highly enough as a great introduction to his music. Enjoy. The Amazon price of just pennies makes it a fantastic buy.

He Nails it 30 Mar 2001
By HS Reid - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Jimmy Nail is an immensely talented singer, songwriter, musician and actor. American audiences will probably recognize him as the opera singer from the beginning of the movie "Evita". A few years ago he starred in(and I believe wrote and produced) the BBC series "Spender", as well as the serial "Crocodile Shoes" and the aptly titled sequel "Crocodile Shoes II". In it he played a British singer who dreamt of making it big in Nashville. It showed the shadier side of the music industry, but also some incredible music. So when I saw the CS II cd at a local music store, I had to buy it.

The album is incredible. Nail's voice is a cross between Pete Townshend, Sting and Vince Gill (for you country music fans). THere is a country feel to this album, especially with the opening "Country Boy", but this is by no means a country album. There is blues, rock and even a little jazz stirred into the mixture. Nail's voice is so flawless, and evokes so much emotion, both in his singing and his delivery of the lyrics.

The song "Troubled Man" will have you crying at the end, all about a man who realizes how much damage he has caused his loved ones, and his asking his wife, child and finally God for forgiveness. "My Buddy", a slow ballad with almost a nightclub feel about it is another great tearjerker.

But don't worry - this album rocks as well. " I Refuse to Lie Down", about a guy wrongly jailed ( figuratively or literally - doesn't really matter) offers a blistering guitar solo and amazing lyrics such as "One day I will find/a simple word that fits the lock, that turns the key to set me free". And there are upbeat ditties that will have you clapping your hands.

This is hard album to peg - its not country, its not rock, its not blues. Stylewise, its probably along the lines of Mark Knopfler, but the fact that you can't pigeonhole Jimmy Nail is what makes him so damn good.
