Music reviews of The Dave Stewart Songbook, Vol. 1
Music Review: Interesting re-working of some of Stewart's best songs
Rating: 4 Stars
Dave Stewart is a ceaseless creative force always creating new music, videos, shops and even comics! Of course he is best known as one half of Eurythmics but, in the 25 years since "Sweet Dreams", Dave Stewart has scored sound tracks, formed other bands (Spiritual Cowboys, Vegas, Platinum Weird), released solo albums and collaborated with literally hundreds of musicians. It is a shame there has never been a compilation album of some of his work to date.
In his quest to always do something new, the approach of "The Dave Stewart Songbook Volume 1" is not the conventional "best of". Instead, a selection of his best known songs have been re-recorded with Dave's current touring band and orchestra which gives all 21 tracks a common feel. Vocals are handled very well by band members and Dave Stewart himself. Some songs are close to the originals ("Would I lie to You?", "Lily was Here"), others work very well in their new treatments ("Love is a Stranger", "Goddess of Love"), but inevitably some songs lack the freshness and excitement of the first versions ("Thorn in my Side", "Possessed").
It is interesting to see which tracks did not make it onto the album. There is nothing from the two Spiritual Cowboys albums and the tracks "Jealousy" written with Bootsy Collins and Eurythmics' "There Must be an Angel" - their only UK no.1 - are also absent. This album has "Volume 1" in the title, so perhaps these and other songs are being saved for a "Volume 2".
As an introduction to Dave Stewart's considerable contribution to pop and rock this is great, but it only scratches the surface of his diversity - listen to Eurythmics' "Savage", the OST "Cookie's Fortune", "Greetings from the Gutter" and the collaboration with Deepak Chopra "Grow Younger, Live Longer" to fully appreciate his musicianship.
