Q Magazine ranks it #23 for the Best British Album of all time
guess that voting group never heard of the Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Who and so on

Took one more album before these guys caught on in the states, but the UK was all over them from their previous album to this. I remember CH
panning this album pretty bad but it wasn't that bad for me with 2 love tracks and 4 that don't cut it. Pushed hard with those 6 singles and
none of those charting here other than on the Alternative chart. It did give them their first top 10 single in the UK with my favorite track.
Maybe some of those weren't released here. The album was not released here until 6 months after the UK release. I never understand that. Big
production sound on most of these with enough strings to call it symphonic. I never followed up on the band. Looks like the next one is their
best selling and none have reached more than gold status here.

I love your album reviews, Music Head! I'm taking notes.

I just got the following single as a free download from Shazam & iTunes. It seems that they've been around a while, but I'd never heard of St. Paul and the Broken Bones. I *really* like this!!

Now see what you did with your phantom picture clue Music Head?! You made me look up and listen to Bill Miller (instrumentals ‘n all).

That’s what I love about the guessing games - thanks!

Oh ok, sounded like the song didn't completely end???...lol...no biggy! Glad you love Kongos like I do!

No, SteveO, it's actually the end of the song. I'm not sure why it runs to 5:00 when the official version ends at 4:17 (or at least the album version I have does!). Sorry about the confusion!

By the way, I love Kongos!!! GREAT SONG!! I'm going to be singing the chorus for DAYS!

1st compilation album - #18 US

Contemporary Christian is what they call it. These guys had to be shocked when they had a crossover hit on their debut album 10 years ago with I
Can Only Imagine. Which is why the title of this album is 10. Celebrating 10 years in the biz with their 1st compilation album. That song put
them on the map and I'm not sure how it ever got played on anything besides christian radio stations. It is the only track on here that shows up
on the overall chart. Some fine music though with 2 other tracks getting a love score in addtion to that one. That's not a mistake that I am
showing the same track as my best and worst. They ruined it by giving me a bonus version where the music is nothing like the original. It just
ruined it for me. If you have something beautiful, don't mess with it.

"If you have something beautiful, don't mess with it." - That’s the stuff of oracles Music Head. So very true!

I’d never heard of them before - thanks for the review. Great idea putting the links on the first post too.

Mason Williams may have written this, but IMO Tommy Emmanuel owns it! He absolutely slays it – hands down. (There are many, many clips of him playing CG. This is my favourite.) Oh, and it was originally mentioned in Classical/Opera, but I’m not sure it belongs there, so I’m bringing it out …
