Synopsis

Album Description
DOWNTOWN...Journey of a Heart is a musical journey, a collection of new recordings of John Waite's greatest hits, including a stunning duet with Alison Krauss on a new rendition of the radio staple "Missing You," plus extraordinary re-recordings of other songs John made famous such as The Babys' "Isn't It Time" and Bad English's "When I See You Smile." Waite also adds an infectious version of Bob Dylan's "Highway 61," and the sweeping balladry of "St. Patrick's Day" and 'New York City Girl."

CD Reviews

Worth listening to for JW fans
B. Kagan Ceylan | Madison, WI | 01/27/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"While there are no new materials in this album, remaking of some of the songs are definitely worth listening to for JW fans. When Bad English albums are selling for pennies these days, one should not expect a huge success from remaking of Bad English songs like When I see you smile. However, as a long time Bad English and JW fan, I have no complaints. Missing You featuring Allison Krauss is definitely worth listening to."
Great CD Again by John Waite
Happyshopping | Brooklyn, NY USA Baby. | 07/17/2008

"Hey guys I might be a bit on the young side.(30 to be exact.) This John Waite CD is a future classic his re-working of again "Missing You" with his new girlfriend Alison K. they are both fabulous together singing this painful little song. You know what its not that bad at all. I got my family friend into John she loves "In Dreams" and "Isn't It Time" I love his cover of Bob Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited". He and I love Bob Dylan that is cool I said "Thanks Man For Cover Dylan Again". I love "Isn't It Time" Great song by The Babys who knew John would be successful solo artist. You Rock Man This is why I love John Waite."
Maybe for JW fans but I love this!

"I have been a JW fan since Missing You/Tears (and then went back to The Babys and forward to Bad English etc.) and I totally love this release. I appreciate that there is little in the way of new material here but I really enjoy the remakes/different takes on some of the classics.



JW's voice has lost none of its sparkle and there are some great (and poignant) moments here. I am suprised at the negative comments by other reviewers, I am more excited by this JW release than I have been since Rovers Return! And this is a much better record too.



Give it a chance!"
