5.0 out of 5 stars A unique singer who defies categorising, 1 May 2002
I guess I was an unusual 16 year old when I first heard Colin Blunstone's single Say You Don't Mind. The romance of his voice and of the lyrics captivated me. At the same time I was into such music as Genesis, Yes, Rory Gallagher and the Groundhogs - so listening to Colin was something I couldn't share with my mates. I first bought One Year after I met my wife, and I have happy memories of us both listening to songs like Smokey Days and Misty Roses. We saw Colin in concert at Glasgow University's QM Union, and live he was every bit as good as on record. My copy of One Year is on vinyl, and I am delighted to see you can now buy it on CD. If you have any romance in your soul, add this to your collection - and then seek out Ennismore and Journey. Blunstone is a marvellous singer who has been ignored for too long.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Absolute Beauty, 23 Jul 2004
By Juan Mobili (Valley Cottage, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
What a gorgeous, gorgeous album this is!
Unlike many others, Colin Blunstone was not someone I knew or loved back when he fronted The Zombies nor when this album originally came out, yet I fell under its spell immediately upon the first listening.
I don't know if this has ever happened to you but this is one of those albums that, even as you hear each song for the first time, makes you feel that you are meeting again with an old friend or, more accurately, that you has just met a kindred spirit.
"Misty Roses," which you may know through Tim Hardin's original already, is simply breathtaking. In this version, it starts almost in a hush, a gentle guitar hinting bossa nova-like chords, as Blunstone glides over the melody, and then evolves into a string quartet interlude that, when you stopped expecting it, returns you to the original melody as he sings "If I believe in love forever / I'll forget the past / You are too lovely not to try."
The beauty does not end there, the self-penned "Caroline Goodbye" and Though You Are Far Away" ?in different ways? may remind you of Nick Drake's phrasing except than here the singing is backed by a full orchestra, ever so tastefully arranged.
"Her Song" and "Let Me Come Closer To You" are also gems, perfectly accompanied by Rod Argent and others ?who' together would go on to form the band Argent? and, again, showcasing the extensive, unforced emotional range of Blunstone?s voice.
All in all, as other people have already mentioned, this album is both a masterpiece of its time and unusually relevant by any current musical standards. Ultimately, this is an absolute, timeless beauty. Buy it now, and await with bated breath.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like Nick Drake..., 16 Dec 2003
By A Customer
...you will love this album. It's a masterpiece blend of exquisite, breathy vocals and a very English string quartet. Possibly the most under-rated album of all time.
