Music reviews of Dreamland Express
Music Review: Not Denver's finest hour
Rating: 2 Stars
I really like John Denver,but I HATE this record.By 1985,when MTV, Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie's dance-flavoured music ruled the airwaves,and John's record sales were waning,you can tell some bean counter or wunderkinder record producer at RCA/BMG thought "I know! Let's give him a more 'modern' sound and image!We'll even put him in a sexy video!The kids will love it!" So rather than the acoustic folk/rock sound & bittersweet self-penned paens to nature and romantic love than characterised his usual style,here John goes thru' the motions of singing works by others that include soul,R & B and even a disco song!It's an ill fit,and although vocally and artistically he does his best(the soaring falsetto vocals on 'If I Ever" being particularly fine)his heart simply isn't in it.The exception is 'African Sunrise'the only original Denver tune on the LP,a song written while the singer spent time in Ethiopia for the Hunger Project,and the only one that he sounds truly 'at home' on.If you'd like to seek out Denver's music,I'd recommend my favorite Denver albums"I Want to Live" and 'Windsong"-full of beautiful melodies and lush orchestration & much more indicative of the true talent of the man.This album is an unfortunate abherration from an impressive body of work from a lovely singer-songwriter.When he was on form though,nobody could beat him as a showman and songwriter.There was no one else quite like him and like many,I miss him.
