Lou Gramm the lead singer from the legendary band Foreigner does some outstanding solo work on this record..the song "Just Between You and Me" is a classic..great tune..great record!!!

Lou Gramm is the greatest singer I´ve ever heard, a´nd the songs I´ll Come Running and Hanging On My Hip are the best on this CD.

Excellent album, great songs. I enjoy the first half of the CD more than the last. Should have been a Gold record!

It`s pretty much fun to see how one thing leads to another.The songwritting on this record is damm familiar with,which would become his next record,Foreigner`s last album"Mr.Moonlight".A bit more melodic and accecible than the solo debut.Like always,his voice is still impecable!Remarkable tunes:"Angel With a Dirty Face","True Blue Love"which should had became a FM hit,"Just Between you and Me".Comparing this one with the debut,this one is more easy to listen and accomplish.Good effort 80/10

vaya cantante!!!! maravilloso!!! y el disco en cuaestion esta muy bien, lo mismo que su anterior trabajo, no es una joya pero no esta nada mal... 8/10

From: marley3	Date: February 11, 2004 at 23:29
what makes this album stand out is the great force of the drumming behind the vocals

I LOVE LOU GRAMM WEHN I SOW HIM IN CONSRT HE BLOW ME AWAY WITH HIS POWERFUL VOICE AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH TOY BOK WAS BAD I DID NOT LIKE THEM AT ALL WERE DID LOU FIND THEM THEY WEVE BAD OPENING ACT I HATED THEM SO MUCH THEY WEVE ALLFUL

From: Nick Wells	Date: June 25, 2004 at 1:20
The only that I like on this album is "Just between you and Me". I think that song is a classic.

From: Rycheage	Date: September 17, 2004 at 23:03
This is a smooth but spotty album. The production is way too tinny and lacks the warmth and crispness of Foreigner albums and Lou's debut solo record. "Just Between You And Me" and "True Blue Love" are the gems of this album. Not as consistent as the debut, but not a failure either.

From: Geoff	Date: September 19, 2004 at 2:33
The first two songs are absolutely outstanding. 'Angel with a dirty face' is top class melodic rock, and the next track, 'Just between you and me' is a sentimental gem. Unfortunately, the rest is crap, IMO. Great first 2 track though.

From: Axe Machine	Date: November 21, 2004 at 7:22
Top CD....worth buying for the first 2 songs alone

From: rick kerch	Date: January 24, 2005 at 14:32
This album is a lot better than the first one.Now i wonder that is time for him to release a new "chapter" and for sure it will be much better than the stuff he's doing with Foreigner.

From: caritosmatanza	Date: January 31, 2006 at 20:58
Adoro a Gramm y es uno de mis favoritos, pero he de admitir que las dos primeras canciones, sobre todo "just between.." me encantan pero el resto del disco es flojito. Supongo que habría prisas,pero sólo es aor correctito y bien ejecutado. Pedíamos más, coño, mira qué músicos.Pero sólo por "just between" ya merece la pena: un temazo que no te cansas de escuchar.7/10

From: ROBERT	Date: February 7, 2006 at 13:19
Solo por los 2 primeros temas, para mi este disco es una Joya Absoluta del mas puro A.O.R.!! y encima d 1989, Casi Nada!!

From: Lovedrive	Date: February 23, 2006 at 3:04
Para mi, el disco en el que mejor canta Gramm. Tiene algunas de las mejores canciones Aor que he oido en mi vida: True Blue Love, Just between you and me, Angel with a dirty face, Warmest rising Sun...

Estoy con el último comentario. Un discazo que vale mucho no solo por sus dos primeros temas sino por "Broken Dreams" o "True Blue Love" éste sonó y mucho por estos lares, temazo. Para mí bajan el disco la 5,6 y 10 pero "Warmest Rising Sun" "Day One" y ese temazo llamado "I'll Know When It's Over" levantan nuevamente este discazo. Lou Gramm cantando como siempre, increíble voz, de las mejores que ha dado el AOR y punto. Lo siento pero para mí llega a la categoría de clásico. 9/10. Saludos.

This is perhaps my all time favourite cd. This cd is very sentimental and romantic. Marley3 already mentioned what it is that makes this cd so great. The sound of the drums are so clear, and combined with the voice of Lou Gramm we have a 10/10 album. The first solo effort is good, but not half as good as this one.

From: kipvanpearcy	Date: September 11, 2007 at 20:31
A few great songs on this one, especially "Angel with a dirty face". Other highlights are "True blue love", "Just between you and me".

Gran Abum con esa voz de terciopelo,Just between you and me y True blue love (temazos llenos de magia y feeling)quien más sino el gran Lou Gramm,una de las voces del AOR,Hangin´on my hip podía haber estado en el Inside Information de su banda Foreigner por su atmósfera en las melodías, otras perlas son Broken Dreams,Warmest Rising sun,I´ll Know when its over,y pensar que lo tenía olvidado en una cinta vieja,y ahora que lo tengo en cd hace las delicias de mis oídos,9/10.

Lo tengo Reeditado por Wounded Bird y lástima lo de la portada, no hay fotos, letras, nada y ya me había sucedido con el de David Pack()pero éste es peor) y es de suponer que todas las reediciones de Wounded son así, bueno al menos por fin lo conseguí. Me confundí con eso del tecladista y productor Peter Wolf pues está tambien el Cantante de los J Geils band con el mismo nombre y apellido(y mas conocido tambien). Dann Huff, Vivian Campbell Wow que tal Staff en la guitarra!!

From: Wachen	Date: May 17, 2010 at 12:28
This is one hell of an album, especially the openers "Angel with a dirty face" and "Just between you and me". But the whole album is great as a whole.

I really think Lou Gramm may be the best vocalist ever in rock. What a voice!!! He can go from passionate ballads to screaming rock with ease. He has so much feeling in his voice. And the songs are so good. Listening to I'll Know When It's Over right now and just LOVE it. Great guitar by Dann Huff as well! Some of the best music ever recorded/sung/produced. What a shame there is not good music...no GREAT music like this nowadays. Thanks Lou for all the fantastic vocals over the years!!

A great commercial side to Lou Gramm and it works really well. The opener has great vocals, lyrics and guitars with a super catchy chorus that sticks in my mind. The second one is decent semi-ballad. Broken Dreams is another winner that showcases Gramm's vocal prowess. I'll Come Running has a great riff and again, super vocals as does Hangin' On My Hip. Of the rest, Day One is a decent melodic track and When It's Over is a super ballad with Gramm's passionate vocals. Lovely stuff.
