Format:Audio CD
This album was my first introduction to Jim Brickman, and a good one indeed. Only trouble, it spoiled me and later CDs of his were disappointing because of the larger number of love song vocals and smaller number of piano solos.
Especially impressive to me was "You Never Know" with Boney James' saxophone. The sax and the piano practically sing together in perfect harmony.
Also impressive, as mentioned by others, is "Frere Jacques". This is a very introspective interpretation, done very thoughtfully for the most part, but with a brilliant contrapuntal passage.
And of course the hit, Martina McBride's beautiful and delicate vocal version of "Valentine".
These are the high points, but the entire set has conversational, good-natured flow to it. Very highly recommended.

Unwind with Picture This
26 July 2000
Format:Audio CD
I don't remember how I came upon this CD, but I can't imagine life without it. The music is wonderful and soothing without feeling like you just came out of an elevator music coma.
I really enjoy the vocal, "Valentine" on track 11, with Martina McBride. She puts the same passion into the vocals as Jim Brickman puts into playing the piano on all of the tracks.
One thing that I really like about this CD is the smooth transition from one song to the other. The transition is so effortless that sometimes it is hard to remember each specific instrumental. But, it really does not matter because the music is so relaxing that by the end of the CD I just wanted to hear more of his music.
This music would be great for that special romantic evening or mood music if you were giving or receiving a massage.
Jim Brickman scores with Picture This.

A True Romantic's Must Have!
24 Sep 1999
Format:Audio CD
I meant Jim Brickman in person; and he is a genuine people person. He writes his own music! His music is full of life; and his passion for it! I recomend all his albums to anyones collection. He also puts on a wonderful concert. For anyone who loves panio you must listen to Jim Brickman! The soul of his music will lighten a heavy heart; and warm the inner sanctums of your soul. It is music that will carry you to a different place and time. It can also enhance any romantic evening that you want to share with a loved one! Candle light and Jim Brickman's music are as one senual experiance that you will want again and again! True listening for the best enjoyment...
