Music reviews of Take It to Heart (Original Recording Remastered)
Music Review: Rocken Blueyed soul, with a twist. Read the true story of TITH.
Rating: 4 Stars
As many Michael McDonald fans we all have our likes and dislikes about each of his solo CD's. But "Take It To Heart" has a bit of a different twist, read on for the full story..
Me being a die-hard M.McD. fan to the point of aquiring all of his recordings including his many duet and contributing vocals on other artist projects. Even his 1st perfessional recording "God Knows I love My Baby" from 1970 recorded on RCA Records.."sorry I am getting a bit off topic.
Take It To Heart was suppose to be called Lonely Talk and be issued on August of 1989. It also had a bit of a different song line up..It had a song called "Plain Of Jars" and a cover of Stevie Wonders Higher Ground (Which ended up on his 1st GH's) there were also different versons of current tracks that made the offical CD. Just about 3 weeks prior to origonal issue date (Aug 89) Repris/WB's label decided there were not enough singles and so Tear It Up and All We Got were added along with Get The Word started (Not sure exactly what versons were changed, Take It To Heart was recorded and added, which meant some songs and some versons had to go. I myself would've rather have had "Lonely Talk and added "Take It To Heart" and that would've given us a 11 song CD they way Michael saw it. I love Lonely Talk, Love Can Break, Searchin For. Take It, Homeboy. True McD. classics. For those who heard Plain Of, You know what a different song stlye for Mike and those that did not. You were only able to hear it on the B-side of the Take It To Heart Cassette single or the UK CD5 w/ Higer Ground as well. One of the few unissued tunes ever put out by M.McD on a CD single. I do not know why record companies seem to think they know what fans want. If you play TITH tracks 2,3 and 4 and 6-11 and you do have the 2 B sides you will have kind've and idea what lonely talk was suppose to be. Maybe one day a box set of M.McD will be issued and some of those demo's and alt. mixes and session tracks for TITH will see the light of day. I hope you enjoyed this information. Overall TITH is a great CD. It shows of Michael's Faulseto alot. It is a shame the CD did not find it's way to the charts more..... MS
Description of Take It to Heart (Original Recording Remastered)
After many classic and award winning hit recordings with The Doobie Brothers as well as his many important stints with Steely Dan and others, Michael McDonald launched his own very successful solo career. To this day, he continues to produce some very incredible albums and highly top grossing concert tours every year. His voice is one-of a-kind, while his music fuses all the elements of rock, soul, pop and jazz that only an artist of his caliber could successfully achieve. Take It To Heart continues the tradition which has made Michael McDonald become one of the world s greatest gifts to popular music........This gold and platinum rocker s effort from 1990 features the hits All We Got and Tear It Up as well as nine other great tracks which make this one of his finest albums to date.........
The multi-format crossing album also delivered several other smashes at radio including the soul rocker Get The Word Started and the quiet storm hit You Show Me which features the legendary late great Stan Getz on sax........
Never short on A-list musician friends to choose from, Take It To Heart features some of the greatest talent of all time including guitarist extraordinaire Michael Landau, the late great Jeff Porcaro on drums (Toto, Steely Dan), David Pack from Ambrosia, Don Was from Was Not Was and the soul crooner Brian McKnight.........
Mastered impeccably from the original Warner Bros. tapes as well as including all of the original art elements, lyrics and new liner notes, Take It To Heart by Michael McDonald surely looks to be one of the most anticipated re-issues of the year.
