Album Notes
This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other.
Personnel include: Bo Bice (vocals, various instruments); John Shanks (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Marti Frederiksen (various instruments, background vocals); Lukasz Gottwald (various instruments); Mitch Allan (guitar, bass guitar); Richie Sambora (guitar, background vocals); Chad Kroeger (guitar); Jamie Muhoberac (piano); Clif Magness (keyboards, bass instrument, percussion, programming); Joey Waronker, Jeff Rothschild, Steven Wolf (drums).
The musical careers of finalists from the American Idol TV series have become big business, and Bo Bice is the next (as of late 2005) star product of the show. With his long, flowing locks, boyish, scruffy face, and vaguely hippie appearance (on the cover of his debut he is wearing a groovy paisley-embroidered shirt), Bice looks at once exotic yet safe and familiar. His music, which blends the flavor of classic rock with Top 40 accessibility, is put together just as well.
There are 11 tracks here, nearly all of which come complete with rock theatrics and anthemic, stadium-ready choruses designed to stick in the mind. Bice has a voice that can be both sultry and soaring ("U Make Me Better" is a case in point), and nearly all of THE REAL THING shows off his talent. The CD is issued as a DualDisc, the DVD side of which features videos, behind-the-scenes footage, and bonus studio recordings.

      Bo Bice's The Real Thing is Close - But Not Yet Great

    Bo Bice was a personal favorite of mine from last season's American Idol... I think with The Real Thing, Bo Bice has gotten close to something special, but he's not yet there. To me, his vocals and the riffs / beats are strong - but for some odd reason, the CD seems like the production and song-writing weren't delivered by top notch producers and song-writers... its almost as if the record company put its B-team on the project. Its unfortunate because Bo Bice is full of talent and makes the best of each track - unfortunately some of the song writing is very immature and lame. That said, The Real Thing is still enjoyable and I expect the next Bo Bice album to be a bigger success. Overall rating: 4/5.
