"AS A LONGTIME SAVOY BROWN FAN, I WAS SURPRISED TO COME ACROSS THIS CD. CHRIS YOULDEN HAS A FLAMBOYANT STYLE. HIS MUSIC IS VERY WELL CRAFTED, PRODUCTION IS IMPECCABLE,AND HIS VOICE COMBINED WITH SOME OF THE FINEST MUSICIANS FROM ENGLAND, IS JUST SIMPLY THE BEST MUSIC I HAVE HEARD IN YEARS. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO STOP PLAYING MY NEW #1 CD !!!!!"

Raw Sienna it ain't

"Second sight will be a welcome addition to my collection but it does lack the raw power and the edge of earlier works such as Raw Sienna ( Savoy Brown ), City Child or Nowhere Road. Nowhere Road remains my favorite when it comes to solo efforts by Chris Youlden. As with many artist Chris Youlden's later works seem to loose the conviction of his earlier works. Recording quality is mixed in that the instruments are well recorded and produced but vocals are somewhat edgy. Probably the best recording of Chris Youlden's voice is the track " Love and Pain " on City Child produced by Chris himself. In any event " Second Sight " is a stylized, listenable if a somewhat watered down effort from one of my favorite vocalist."

A pleasant surprise

"I really liked this effort by an old favorite. It's more of a pop sound than blues but I found it refreshing after listening to the same old stuff. His unique vocal sound is outstanding just like in the old days. It would be nice to see his other solo albums released on CD."
