As a firm and long-standing JH fan I have to say that this album is a massive disappointment. Holland's musical skill and those of his band deserve more than simply being trundled out year after year as a backing band for a string of well-known names. Perhaps that would be just about acceptable if the tracks were good but they are merely average non-country - in fact, pretty well non-anything - tracks. Jools Holland is perhaps one of the nation's finest musicians and arrangers but he carries on hiding his light under a bushel of other people's singing. And then of course he insists on singing! Great pianist, great band leader, but very poor singer. Bring out an instrumental album Jools and give the band a chance to show its incredible talents and remember, Goodman, Miller et al did not need to sing to sell their albums.

When I asked for this and received it as a Christmas present, I expected it to be a lot more country- maybe next time I should check the singers rather than the front cover/title. This isn't country enough for me. Which isn't a bad thing- it's fine as music, just not good country.

Firstly let me state I am a fan of Jools Holland & the R & B Orchestra that's the reason I bought this c.d.
As someone else stated in another review I should have checked out the singers. If your idea of pleasure is to hear beautiful classic songs being butchered by so called singers (Lulu, Geldof e.t.c.) then this is for you otherwise steer clear of this self - indulgent nonsense and go for the originals instead.
I expected better of Mr Holland & his crew. 1 star for the fact that they can obviously play their instruments, be it without any soul or emotion on this hideous album.

Unlikely on paper but it works
Country songs have always attracted most artists known for other styles of music eg Ray Charles,Dean Martin to name 2 singers from opposite ends. Read more

a wee gem of a disc
Any collection that has so many performers, from such a wide background as Tom Jones, Lulu and Bob Geldof is going to be patchy. Read more

Moving out to the Country, Jools Holland. Not his best.

A controversial album but I love it

Beautiful -I Love It!!!
I was lucky enough to see Jools Holland live at Beaulieu when I was recently in the UK. Lulu was his special guest. The show was brilliiant, especially when Lulu came on stage. Read more

Not quite country.
What suprised me on this C.D. was the fact that I liked Tom Jones singing Friends not lovers. Well worth a listen if you are a Jools or country music fan. Read more

Not good enough, Jools!
Not really country, and not really Jools - the first song is great, the rest could do with a good dollop of up tempo rhythm and blues!

Brilliant
This is a great slant on the usual Jools Holland's Rhythm and Blues Orchestra offering. Whilst it may not appeal to all serious country fans I think that fans of Jools Holland and... Read more

SUCCESS
This album is nostalgic, moody and brilliant. Holland's touch with stars singing outside their normal genre works a treat to produce a memorable experience. Read more
