Disco de Simply Red: “Life [Bonus Tracks]”

I'd never been a Simply Red fan until I recieved this album as a gift....and discovered it to be one of the best I've ever heard. I've since realized that Simply Red is one of those terribly underrated groups, and this is a terribly underrated album. Songs like "Make Me Believe" and "Fairground" are perfectly dancable, and the whole album just makes me....happy! It's jazzy and fun, and I listen to it over and over. I reccommend it to anyone tired of the status quo of loud, thumpy, morose music.

This is some of the best music ever recorded. I must admit that I am not a true Simply Red fan, however, this CD remains one of my favorites. Fun & entertaining, this CD, if given a chance, is sure to grow into one of your favorites also.

DEFINITELY one of the GREATEST bands of our time. Ever-changing line-ups (cept' for the vocalist of course) but nevetheless an astounding band. "Life" is filled with velvet sounds of Mick Hucknall, the kinda vibe you can relax to, tap your feet or simply get up and groove a little something..Simply Red just gets better with time. Their latest release "Home" scheduled for mid March is off-the-hook. The single "Sunrise" is already blazin' the airwaves around the world.. People get ready to lose yourself into the groove!

I first heard this CD back in 1999 when I went out to Fire Island for the first time with a group of my friends. I had broken up with my boyfriend the night before and I was feeling down when one of the other guys in our house played this CD and it really cheered me up. Outside of "Holding Back the Years" and "Stars", I really wasn't a big fan of Simply Red but after hearing this CD - especially the song "Fairground" - I became a fan. Mick Hucknall has one of the most passionate and soulful voices I've ever heard and when I got home I bought this CD and it's still one of my favorites. In fact, I keep this CD in my truck and I never get tired of listening to it.

I'm only sorry I never saw them live but I'm going to order their farewell concert CD/DVD so I can add that to my collection of great bands.

LIFE: so far is my favoret. each song is truly simply red and each is diffrent.. their music has many layers and i can listen to a song several times and hear something i missed before..the words are incredible, guess i am a simply red fan, micks new cd tribute to bobby is also wonderful, very diffrent but shows micks voice maturity and smoothness to a "t". keep up the good work mick. lol
