Barry Williams - Return of Johnny Bravo (12 tracks) +Album Reviews

The one casanova who fit the suit

Johnny Heering | Bethel, CT United States | 10/01/2004

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I guess you could call this Barry Williams's "comeback" album, although he was never a big record star in the first place. It features two original songs, plus cover versions of many well known songs. The originals are "Johnny's Back", which is an amusing tounge-in-cheek song about Barry's alter ego, and "Here Again", which is a mediocre ballad. The rest of the songs you are probably already familiar with. I have to admit, Barry sings very well. His voice is much improved from his "Greg Brady" days, and he handles most of the songs pretty well. The question is, do you really need to hear Barry Willams covering Queen, Huey Lewis and the Bee Gees? If you do, this is the album for you."

The Best Barry In the Biz!

"I can't understand why Barry Manilow and Barry White and Barry Gibb were more musically succesful Barrys than Barry Williams.

Williams has got that magical thing needed more in the music world - IT. It's hard to say exactly what IT is, but you know IT when you hear IT.

Oh, make no mistake - Barry Williams definitely has IT!

This is great "mood music." I've had many wonderful dates while listening to this CD. Barry's music usually drives my girlfriends nuts (I mean that in a good way, of course.)

I hope Barry releases another album soon. Maybe a Christmas album called "A Very Barry Christmas." That would rock.

Nostalgia Worthy

"I got this CD because I'm a Brady Bunch fan, and I loved the episode with Johnny Bravo! Barry Williams can sing, but his vocals were stronger on the Best of the Brady Bunch CD, It's a Sunshine Day. He is ok here, but not as strong as in the past. Still, I'd recommend this CD for all Brady Bunch fans, and lovers of nostalgia."

"First, let me say that I'm 23 and for some (sick) reason I find my self watching the Brady Buch rather obsessively on Nick At Nite, so I am quite used to such cheesy classics as "Keep On", "We can make the World A whole Lot Brighter", and i even made it through Davey Jones singing "Girl." But holy cheesy Batman, these songs make the It's A Sunshine Day Best of the Brady Bunch CD look like Sgt. Pepper or Pet Sounds. I love the Bunch, I LIKE Barry Williams, but I just cant listen to this cheeseball corny music. I mean, hip to be square was bad enough when it first came out...now THIS? Maybe this music is what sent Tiger to an early grave (of which he's probably rolling in right now). I'll bet even Sam the Butcher would give it two pork chops (and an applesauce) down. Sunshine Day was at least good for a laugh or two...this just isnt funny. Barry, we love you...but just go sit in the corner for a while and promise to never redo 70's (or ANY)schmaltz again. As for me, now i know what Alex from A Clockwork Orange felt like when he heard Beethoven after his treatment."

Bravo Barry! Bravo!

"I can't tell you how long I have been waiting for this CD. I saw a story of it on The Daily Show and just had to purchase it. Since yesterday, it has been playing non-stop on my stereo. Even though my dog now walks around the house and yelps all day, this small discomfort is worth all the great and many treasures found within "The Return of Johnny Bravo." An eclectic mix of old and new material, Barry manages to provide a timely and poignant synthesis of the music of the past thirty years. What other CD combines songs by The Turtles, Queen, and Billy Vera? It's a godsend. Instead of buying all the originals, I can now have them all on one CD by the great Johnny Bravo. Thank you, Barry. Thank you. I guess we'll be seeing you at the Grammies."
