Buen disco, aunque sin llegar a ser la bomba, casi todas las canciones son de Unruly child, de hay que sea un buen disco, pero sin superar a UNRULY CHILD, 7/10

Very excellent this one. BK is one of my alltime fave singers ,so i was expecting alot from this. Not dissapointed either,as Bobby puts in a fine vocal on this. Half of the tracks (4,5,6,8,10,11) made it onto the superb 'Unruly Child' album, but i won't compare these versions to Mark Free's as they are different enough to appreciate both singers. Great Vocalist, great musicians, great songs, great production - what more do you want!!!!!!

Toto meets Unruly Child for obvious reasons. Annalies, a Gowdy/Allison cowrite, shows that these guys easily could have written an irresistable Toto album. Absolutely love that tune. As for the covered UC tunes, I guess this was Bruce's way of getting them out there again and give them another shot at success. Kimball does a great job, and although Free's voice may sound better in places, the greater use of keyboards gives the songs a better feel musically. Reccomended.

Totalmente de acuerdo con las buenas críticas hacia éste album. Magnífica producción, gran voz de Bobby (los temas de Unruly Child los canta de manera espléndida) y un gran reparto entre los invitados (esos Backing Vocals lo díce todo). Todo excelente salvo un par de fillers (7,8) y la 1 y 13 aceptables el resto es calidad total. Esa versión que hace Bobby del famoso tema de Carole King es muy buena pero me quedo con la original, es que Carole King es Carole King Saludos. 8.9/10

EL GRAN BOBBY KIMBALL: ESPECTACULAR TRABAJO, QUE CLARO CASI SON COVERS LO DE UNRULY CHILD LO INTERPRETA DE UNA MANERA AVASALLADORA. LA GRAN WOODSTOCK, ANNALIES MAGNIFICA INTERPRETACION,DE LAS DE LOS UNRULY CHILD PARA MI LAS MEJORES SON "IS IT OVER","LET'S TALK ABOUT LOVE" Y LA LEGENDARIA Y UNICA "WHO CRIES NOW", BUEN TRABAJO DE LA "YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND" DE LA CAROLE KING, ESA EXCELSA "PARALYZED" QUE EN CUALQUIER ALBUM DE LOS TOTO SERIA UN EXITO,"SHOT DOWN LOVE" SUBLIME CIERRE. 95/100.

Paralyzed, OMG such a beatiful song, so feeling around all the lyrics and arrangements, the guitar solo is awesome also, without any doubt for me and a lot of fans: Mark Free is THE VOICE of aor.

Well this album is worth every penny you've spent on it!!! ...really impresive,a great vocalist that i hadn't had the chance to listen in detail (i mean as a solo artist,with Toto...thousandof times! )..."Woodstock" the only name rocks! and obviously the song too ,"Rise Up" excellent one,"Is It Over" is a wonderful solid ballad,"Who Cries Now" is such a great cover of Unruly Child,this kind of songs is not for "whoever" vocalist,only the biggest can emulate Mark Free(nowadays Marcie Michelle Free),"Long Hair Woman" is a highlight,"You've Got a Friend" beauty one along with the another Unruly Child cover "To Be Your Everything","Lay Down Your Arms" is another hot shot & "Shot Down Love" ends the magic rocking it solidly and good!!!...pretty enjoyable album indeed...92/100

Enjoyable album. Too many slow paced songs however for my liking. Stand out songs: Who Cries Now, Lay down your Arms and Shot down Love.

superb release for BOBBY KIMBALL and his collaboration with the UNRULY CHILD giving their songs a well deserved second chance for success that unfortunately never came!all the songs are marvelous,the musicianship outstanding and Rise Up perfect by every aspect
