5.0 out of 5 stars This album rocks!, 7 Mar 2005
By S. Wilkins - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
WOW! I saw Tony Christie on Never Mind the Buzzcocks a few weeks ago, typed his name into eMule and ended up with (Is this the way to) Amarillo. I feel to my knees and wept :-) I can safely say this guy is the bollocks! So much cooler than Tom Jones, I even found myself laughing out loud to some of the lyrics (written before the age of Political correctness). Looking forward to playing this album at full blast this summer time. Do not let people put you off buying this album it is a must have item and well worthy of five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Catch some great lines as Tony Christie shines, 18 Mar 2005
By Charles Horton (Manchester) - See all my reviews
If you only buy a handful of albums this year make sure you add this to your collection. Ever since I was a kid I remember my mom playing this. It's a classic and thanks to the comic genius of Peter Kay it's being introduced to a new generation. Expect it to go straight to n'o 1. Amarillo aside (you must see the video) this is has a strong line up with "Avenues and Alleyways" and "Don;t go down to Reno" also on the line up. I love it. It's full of fabulous tunes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful vocal pop, 9 April 2005
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
Th UK singer Tony Christie first made the charts in 1971. With his powerful voice and choice of good tunes, he falls into the Tom Jones/Engelbert Humperdinck category of balladeer.

If not quite country, his early songs all had an American Western flavour, like the dramatic power ballad Las Vegas, the tragic story song I Did What I Did For Maria and the flowing Is This The Way To Amarillo which was a UK hit again recently.

His minor hits from the 1970s like Avenues And Alleyways are still quite enjoyable too. In 1978 Christie returned with the beautiful ballad On This Night Of A Thousand Stars from the original studio soundtrack to Evita. The sequence of hits is not strictly chronological, but they do fit into a pattern of the 70s stuff first and the very latest music last.

This collection also contain his more than adequate cover versions of classic songs from that era such as Home Loving Man, Solitaire, You've Lost That Loving Feeling, The Way We Were and Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast. Walk Like A Panther is a hit from the late 1990s, and the compilation includes some brand new tracks.

If you like dramatic and tuneful power ballads, you'll find much to appreciate in the work of Tony Christie. The music has aged surprisingly well.
