Music reviews of Some of My Best Friends Are Songs

Music Review: Not what you might expect, but terrific just the same!
Rating: 5 Stars

If however, you're open to hearing Wilkinson return to his roots (he performed with a number of popular Irish rock/pop bands early on in his career), you're going to enjoy this eclectic mix of country, folk, and blues-inspired tunes.

Covers of classics like "You Don't Know Me" and "Funny How Time Slips Away" are respectful reimaginings that retain the charm of the originals, but benefit from Wilkinson's stunning voice and phrasing. The Cat Stevens classic "Father and Son" is beautifully performed by Wilkinson and his song Aaron, and, Cat fan that I am, I prefer Wilkinson's version! Original tracks "We Are One" and "I Cannot Stay" reveal this performer's considerable song writing skills, and in the case of "If I Knew Then," his impressive pop sensibility.

While Wilkinson's Phantom and Valjean will always have a place in my heart, I'm thrilled to discover still another side to this artist. "Some of My Best Friends Are Songs" is already another beloved entry to my Wilkinson canon.
