Donell Jones - Journey Of A Gemini
Rating  (4)
Date: 2008-04-15
I dont really know how to go about this review. Because, in order for me to be honest, i would have to say this album was a dissapointment. But at the same time, i dont wanna give people the wrong impression about this album because it is still a good album. It's just this... after the legendary Life Goes On album, plus a four year hiatus, i guess i was hoping for another Life Goes On album. But i got more of another Where I Wanna Be album instead, which is still a very good album, just not legendary. Pretty much, similar to Where I Wanna Be, this album has its ups and downs. The first thing i noticed with Journey of A Gemini, is its a much more up tempo album than any of his other albums. Theres alot less ballads on this album, which is good and bad. Donell Jones has been, and always will be one of my favorite artists, and on songs like the Underdogs produced mid tempo ballad "Cuttin Me Off" he really shows why he is one of the most underated R&B singers of our time. Another great song is the first single "Better Start Talking"... How was this song not a huge radio smash? Its an up tempo party song. Another great song is the more mellow slow jam "My Apology" where Donell apologizes for not being there for his girl. But the one thing this album is missing that all the other albums had, is the sexy baby maker! I was irrate when i listened to the whole album and did not find one baby maker. Thats the area that Donell is best at to, so i was really surprised at that. The only song that was really even close to a babymaker is the Underdogs produced "Ohh Na Na" which is a great song, but i don't picture it as a baby maker. One thing that i do think would have made this album a little better is if he would have put the song "Make Me Say" on the track listing but i heard he cut it last minute due to a track cut by the label. But overall this album is definetly worth buying and it is another great addition to Donell's already great catalog, but just dont set your bar as high as i did for it, because i guess you can't really expect an artist to have two legendary albums in a row!

my boy has done it again i am completely satisfied with his latest cd. although i fell the cd doesnt get as much as promo as it deserve any true music fan should have this one in their collection. with songs like "my apology" and "cant wait" this is a most definately a hit. im surprised more people dont know about donell jones as far as most know is "where i wanna be" but his music goes much deeoer than that...if you dont know you BETTER START TALKING and find out what a real r n b sounds like not that garbage you hear on the radio.

Donell Jones was always a gifted singer even though his first album My Heart was a soso effort. Albums like Where I Wanna Be and Life Goes On show that Donell Jones gets better with time. The first single Better Start Talking is good but it is not as spectacular as Im Gonna Be(the remix with Clipse is a nice touch too)and it does not have the replay value that Im Gonna Be does. Other standout tracks are My Apology, Portrait Of A Woman, Cry, Feelin You(Darkchild better watch his back because Tim and Bob might give him a run for his money with production like this), Cant Wait, Spend The Night, If You Want(great duet with Bun B), Cuttin Me Off and Another Life. Skip material: Special Girl is not a garbage record but it is inferior to the other songs on this album. Bottom Line: Journey Of A Gemini is Donell Jones's best album and is one of the best R&B albums of 2006. The smooth production, the soulful singing by Donell and songs like Im Gonna Be, Cry, My Apology, Portrait Of A Woman etc make this album a worthwhile experience. Donell Jones is in a class by himself.

I'd always been a big fan of Donnell Jones, but like others I was wondering what had happened to him. I was excited when I'd heard "Better Start Talking" but, then I didn't hear anything else. Well I'm glad that his long anticipated cd has finally been released! Let me tell you, those who are long time fans, you won't be disappointed. Those who are wanting some grown up music to grove to...buy this album!! I love every single song on the cd. You can easily play this cd from start to finish. I do have favorites of course like "Ooh Na Na". Thanks Donnell for the cd...next time don't make us wait so long!

Good Intro
Rating (4)
Date: 2008-03-04
If you're not familiar with Dave Hole, this is a good intro to his work, with many of his signature songs. I tend to favor studio versions over live albums (eg, Up All Night Thinking on Working Overtime), but this album has a lot of energy. Like Sonny Landreth, his awesome slide work is somewhat offset by weaker vocals, which is why I withhold one star. If you like this album, I can also highly recommend Landreth's live album Grant Street.

This guy is a great slide player, he has his own style of playing, and excellent tone. I can't say he sounds like this guy or that guy. Any slide guitar fan should buy this CD, you will not be disappointed.

Love it!!

I got a copy of this from a friend, and had never heard of the guy before, but I'm sure glad I did. A pure explosion of slide guitar brilliance. His singing is great too, and sounds more than a little like Danny Joe Brown of Molly Hatchet, but it seems to me his mic wasn't turned up quite loud enough at this performance, and that's basically the only reason I give this less than 5 stars. other than that, this is simply brilliant. His guitar work puts him up with Duane Allman, Sonny Landreth (OK, so Dave and Sonny sound nothing alike.... you get my point), Johnny Winter, and even the King of the Slide Guitar, Elmore James. Dave Hole kinda makes me think of a cross between Jimi Hendrix and Elmore James. An excellent addition to ANY collection, be it blues or rock, especially if you are (like me) a slide guitar player!!

RICK "SHAQ" GOLDSTEIN SAYS: "THERE ARE NO HOLES IN THIS SLIDE GUITAR ON-SLAUGHT!"
Rating (5)
Date: 2007-01-20
I have all 7 of Dave Hole's CD's and this is light years ahead, start to finish, of any of his others! This CD, has many long, live performances! (Remember what the blues master Shaq always says: "You can't get the blues in 2-3 minutes!) Dave makes so many different sounds with his guitar, a grown man, has to giggle! That's right, the blues master Shaq said giggle! This CD covers everything from blues ballads, to an indescribable cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze". Dave rocks, you, screeches, ya, blues, ya. All on one long, live CD, buy it now!

the Whitney that Everyone fell in Love With

This is the Whtiney that I fell in love with. Carefree, beautiful, happy and very talented!! "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" has gotta be the song of the eighties. Are you old enough to remember when this song was on the radio every hour and every day? "So Emotional" is a close second favorite track of mine. But everything on this CD is so perfect. I hope Whitney can regain some of this success in the future.

If you like Whitney Houston's 1985 self-titled debut album...
Rating (5)
Date: 2007-09-09
...then you will not feel any differently about this sophomore title. This was Whitney Houston's second album with the Arista label. Her self-titled debut album from 1985 was quite a hot seller, and her 1987 title was pretty much the same. The songs I like on this album are: I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me), Just the Lonely Talking Again, Where You Are, You're Still My Man, So Emotional, and Where Do Broken Hearts Go. The first song I mentioned is a real effervescent jammer, with R&B, soul, and a bit of a rock touch combined together. The second track is mellow and listenable. Where You Are is about Whitney wanting to be with her loved one at the same place instead of being away. You're Still My Man is another great one, where she sings that she loves her man so much that he belongs in her life and that nothing will change that. Where do Broken Hearts Go is yet another great song, but kind of sad. If I'm not mistaken, this song is about when a person runs away, will they ever find their way back home or not. One song that I wish was on this album is Moment of Truth, which was the flip side to her I Wanna Dance With Somebody... That song was okay--maybe it will be released sometime later on, even though it was not released on this album. This album belongs in your music collection. The sound quality is not bad at all.
