A Lonely Life - the Anthology by Tony Carey (CD, Apr-2008, Renaissance Records USA)

UNDERATED SINGER AND KEYBOARDIST FROM RICHIE BLACKMORES RAINBOW.A FINE SET OF SONGS.SOON TO TOUR WITH JOE LYNN TURNER AND RICHIES SON ON GUITAR..HOPE IT WORKS!!!

Let me start by saying that I think that Tony Carey is much underated artist who never really received the attention that he deserved. Carey is a great songwriter, singer and musician. His music and lyrics are often small stories about life in general.
I used to listen to his music a lot back in the 80’s when I was groing up.
Back then Tony Carey seemed to differ a bit from other melodic AOR Rock bands that where common at the time. I always felt that Careys songs and music stood out from the rest. But somehow I forgott about his music as the years past.

Then I bought this compilation CD and found out that it contains a lot of Tony Careys best recorded songs. The CD contains songs from all of Tony Carey’s solo albums, including I Won’t Be Home Tonight” and “Westcoast Summer Nights”(from his debut album). But the disc also contains a couple of songs from the Planet P Project, a Pink Floyd influenced band with Tony Carey on lead vocals. The only songs that I miss from his solo career on this CD are “A Room With A View” and “Heard It On the Radio” (from the “For You” album).

I really like this CD compilation and I do feel that Tony Carey’s music is as good now as it was back in the 80’s.

I bought this CD, because Tony Carey is my favorite singer and musician, and I love this CD. Thank you, Oliver
