This collection of Rod's best loved ballads plus four new tracks was released in 1996. The four new tracks are fabulous and include covers of When I Need You, originaly sung by Leo Sayer and Sometimes When We Touch written and recorded by Dan Hill and covered many times by others. Dont let this put you off though Rod does a fine job vocally and the arrangements on these new songs by Jam and Lewis and the wonderful James Newton Howard are first class.
Other highlights include Downtown Train, First Cut Is The Deepest, Have I Told You Lately That I Love You and the sublime This.
If you prefer Rod's softer side this is the album for you. Very consistent and a lovely listening experiance.
