A World Class CD in Many Ways

(5 out of 5 stars)

""Gaia" is truly a world class CD which puts the world at your feet, musically that is! Alan Simon, who produced, composed, wrote (almost all) and arranged these twenty incredible songs invites you to take this Walk for Life ... along with the brilliant artists from around the world (Justin Hayward, Billy Preston, Midnight Oil, Mick Fleetwood and Jeremy Spencer to name just a few) and it is an unforgettable journey. I could say that it is rock 'n roll, but by that I would mean some songs really rock and others gently roll as they sweep you away with the music, the lyrics and the emotion so evident as the artists perform. When I try to imagine these performances live, I sense the heartbeat of the world pounding out from the center of this concert and echoing all around the globe. There is simply nothing bad I can say about this CD except that I want more and indeed another double CD is planned after a future concert that would include the best of the "jam sessions" by these artists and all I can say is look out world!"
