Island Love Songs

About the Artist
Rick grew up on the west coast in the city of Victoria on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada and began playing guitar at the age of fifteen. He learned to play and sing by teaching himself, using Gordon Lightfoot songbooks. As a result of that foundation Lightfoot would remain his most enduring musical influence.

At the age of 19 he wrote his first song and went on to write many more during the following years. In his early twenties he explored the idea of becoming a performing artist but decided the travelers life was not for him and settled down in Victoria.

Over the years he explored the works of North America's popular folk music artists including James Taylor, Bob Dylan, Donovan and Leonard Cohen, the rhythms of Dan Hicks, J. J. Cale and K.D. Lang and the ballads of The Eagles and Jimmy Buffet.

By 2002 Rick found he was writing more songs than ever and doing some of his best work. He began performing locally again and decided to publish his first collection - Island Love Songs.

Though romance is the central theme of this CD, not all of Rick's songs are romantic love songs, many have the flavor of Lightfoot's Canada, and speak of the western spirit; of children, elders, and the characters encountered on the islands.

Product Description:
Island Love Songs is the work of Vancouver Island singer/songwriter Rick Bateman. The twelve romantic songs on the CD flow easily between celtic arrangements, folk ballads and soft, latin rhythms.

All of these songs are from the heart, inspired over the years from the romance and adventure of life on the islands, and each has its own story. "A Scottish Waltz" was conceived during a visit of Scotland's Fochaber Fiddlers to Victoria. The mountain referred to in "Island Love Song" is Mt. Baker in Bellingham Washington.

Each of these songs captures the picture of a moment in a relationship - beginnings, celebrations, and memories.

good memories for me and fun "new" songs for my children.......2007-06-27

We had ordered this for "The Dukes of Hazzard" theme song for our 4yr old and our whole family has fallen in love with the cd. It makes me want to share some of the old fun and simple shows with my children. I forgot about some of those shows. It brings back good memories for my husband and me and the songs are new and exciting for our children. It's a nice change from children's cd's, but our children still think it's fun. The sound quality is good and the songs included on the cd are a great mix. I would definately recommend this one.

memories.......2007-02-22

This cd is excellent it has a lot of very good music and true to the original sound, Am getting a lot of enjoyment,highly recomended

TV Theme Songs.......2007-01-13

This is a great CD for people who watch a lot of TV -especially TV LAND and reruns of old shows when shows had actual theme songs. I took the CD to work and everyone loved trying to figure out what show the songs were from.

TV themes.......2006-07-05

Not all what I expected, not all of the tunes are the original recordings you remember as the TV themes.

Deja Vu.......2006-02-17

Listening to these familiar themes as performed by the original artists certainly brings back wonderful memories! I was particularly pleased, not only with the quality of the pieces, but with the actual performances themselves, just as we remembered them!

EZ listening from EJ.......2007-07-04

Calling this "Love Songs" is something of a misnomer. I would be hard pressed to call "Daniel" or "Candle In The Wind" love songs as much as they are romantic ballads. But as a collection of Adult Contemporary hits from Elton John, this is a good greatest hits. Elton and Bernie Taupin were always masters of popcraft, and when they took aim at a ballad, they were often the best of their time.

"Love Songs," released by MCA just before Elton switched labels to Island Records, covers material from 1970 ("Your Song") to 1985 ("Blessed"). There were two so-so new songs, and also the hits from "The Lion King." (Saving you from buying the lackluster soundtrack.) What "Love Songs" doesn't do is present the full spectrum of Elton; instead of "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting," you get "Blue Eyes." If all you want is Elton's pleasantries, this will do fine. Otherwise, I'd suggest "Rocket Man: Number Ones," "Elton John - Greatest Hits 1970-2002" or even "To Be Continued...."

So much more than mindless muzak--BRAVO, ELTON JOHN !!!.......2007-06-04

This CD of just a few of Elton John's love ballads gives us a collection of some of the very best love songs of all time. When Elton sings these songs, you listen--and you listen closely, too, because only Elton could deliver these rich and stunning numbers with a flair all his own.

The CD track set begins with "Can You Feel The Love Tonight;" this ballad is from the soundtrack to the movie The Lion King. Elton's voice is rich, warm and full of masculine sensitivity. Elton's piano playing leaves nothing to be desired; and the lush musical arrangement features a sublime backup chorus, too. "The One" celebrates the joy Elton feels when he has found the perfect lover for him; again the musical arrangement glistens like gold. The overall effect of both "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" and "The One" produces a heavenly effect that I rarely enjoy from any singer. Great!

Then there's the classic Elton John ballad, "Daniel." "Daniel" gives Elton the opportunity to sing about the sadness he feels when his man has left him. The percussion enhances the beauty of this number; and Elton's voice is in top form here as it is throughout the CD. "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" changes gears as Elton now sings about how relieved he feels to realize--before it's too late--that his love affair will never bring him true happiness. The lyrics reflect great judgment and Elton's voice exudes a type of sensitivity that showcases his remarkable talent.

"Your Song" is probably my favorite love ballad on his CD; the straightforward lyrics require no interpretation and Elton sings this straight from the bottom of his heart. The musical arrangement stuns you with its beauty; and the piano and strings are well used in the musical arrangement. "Your Song" always moves me deeply.

Other golden nuggets on this album include the marvelous live duet Elton does with George Michael entitled "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" and the sublime "Blue Eyes" which deals with the sadness Elton's woman feels when he needs to go away from her for a while. "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word" explores the heartbreak Elton feels as he realizes a love he wants so badly will never exist. There is a live recording of "Candle In The Wind," too; this song deals with misunderstanding other people using Marilyn Monroe as an example. Excellent!

"You Can Make History (Young Again)" stuns me with its beauty; and the CD ends fittingly with "Circle Of Life" from the movie entitled The Lion King. "Circle Of Life" provides the album with an especially strong ending.

The liner notes give you the lyrics and the song credits; and the cover picture of Elton is excellent, too.

Elton John possesses the ability to take words and music, fuse them together, give them a special injection of passion as only he can and finally perform these ballads with great panache and pure elegance. Elton blesses us with his artistry; and I can only hope that if we're lucky Elton will continue to perform for many years to come.

Elton John Love Songs.......2007-03-12

A nice collection of Elton John's love songs. Great for Valentines Day or a nice gift fo your sweetheart.

Fans can never be objective..........2006-05-06

From the OBJECTIVE reviewer...a great overview it isn't, but as a concept album it is great...plus both of the new songs are really good especially "You Can Make History" and for those two reasons worth the 4 stars.

I really like this CD but..........2005-12-19

I bought this CD as a Valentine's Day gift for my wife (another reviewer also mentions that as a good idea). It is a great collection of Elton John material that we both really enjoy, BUT as some other reviewers have pointed out, it is not completely filled with love songs. I would have left off "Circle of Life" (although I like the song) in favor of "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues." Also, I didn't realize when I bought it that the CD includes the live George Michael version of "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" instead of Elton's original studio version, which I would have preferred. As a result, I find myself almost always skipping this track.

One of my favorate recordings of for real church music that I'm so thankful to be able to hear and enjoy.

there is no other sacred love songs that of TD Jakes .......2006-04-26

TD Jakes love songs is not like any other love songs but it comes with passion and and what the heart feels. His songs is not just what our partners feel for us but it tells us about the love of God of us humans. It would help if everybody could get hold of his songs and preaching tapes and believe me your life would simply not be the same.

Clean, Pure, Holy Love Songs.......2005-12-07

These beautiful love songs are just what the Christian couples need to listen to. There are some nice secular love songs out there too. But when we listen to Sacred Love Songs we don't need to wonder if we'll hear something that's not so clean. We know that all of the songs on Sacred Love Songs are anointed of God.

A TRUE BLESSING.......2005-11-13

WE WERE LOOKING FOR SOME CHRISTIAN SONGS FOR OUR UP COMING WEDDING AND THIS ALBUM REALLY EXPRESSED A LOT OF THE FEELINGS MY FIANCE AND I FEEL ABOUT EACH OTHER . THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH FOR LETTING GOD LEAD YOU IN THIS! ! ! HOPE YOU MAKE SOME MORE SONGS AND OTHER LOVE ABLUMS !

What a beautiful album!.......2005-06-28

I must say I am a fan of Vanessa Williams going way back, but I hadn't bought any of her past albums. The first albums that I bought were "Silver and Gold" and the newly released "Everlasting Love". They are both great albums, but after I saw the last copy of Love Songs in the shelf in Barnes and Nobles, I bought it hesitantly. I am not disappointed. It has a beautiful collection of love songs that is almost magical to the ear.While Save the best for last, and dreaming are two major hits, my personal favorites are" Still in Love", "April Fools", "Alfie" ,"And if I Ever" and "Can this be real". Infact the entire album is great, which is good because of recent, it takes only one good song to make an entire album of crap good enough to put on music shelves. This album will remain a classic for yeats to come.

The Perfect Love Song album.......2005-03-19

This album is the perfect comtemplation of Vanessa's songs. I love this album.

Her best songs.......2004-06-29

This is the perfect cd. Every song is wonderful. The selection of songs are a perfect complement to each other. This is her showcase CD.

Love Bound Soulfully.......2004-02-09

It is just so surprising that we often seem to forget about certain artists based on what should be considered hip. It doesn't even surprise me as a average square who might know a thing or two about women in the music industry. Yet, we already have seen overexposed sexual preludes from Janet Jackson and our current manufactured Madonna, Britney Spears, all the way to the Latin Milli Vanilli, Jennifer Lopez. Yet, with all those bumps in the road, there are some divas that people absolutely seem to forget about. Arguably, Vanessa Williams is just one of them. Still, she has been absent from actually conjuring a new studio album for quite some time. Nevertheless, she has something that those hoochies in the industry don't even come close to having, a elegantly conjured voice. She still has something that is worth listening to that does continue to speak itself well.

The 2004 Love Songs collection, isn't actually a collection of Vanessa's greatest love songs, like I originally thought of. Still, the album does contain a trio of songs that were unreleased to the U.S. public. The songs definitely bring out something very well made from Vanessa Williams and her voice. From the newly just released songs, Alfie, the seductive Easy Listening track April Fools, and the R&B inspired track Love Like This. There are also so many other good songs added to the mix, including the #1 song, Save The Best For Last, and Dreamin' as well. The downside is that a vast number of songs are missing from this record that could've been used, including Love Is with Brian McKnight, The Sweetest Days, My Flame, and a handful of other songs should've been added here as well. Still, there isn't a whole vast number of people out there who wants to hear Vanessa Williams in this ageism, cold-hearted, and manufactured music industry.

Still, many people may decide to pass this record up, but it is definitely worth listening to. Especially, for some die hard Vanessa Williams fans. If you are one of those, this collection is worth hearing, while all those manufactured fanatics can begin to listen to a real diva all over again.

The best Love songs for Vanessa EVER!!!.......2004-02-03

I'm glad I'm the first to write this review about this very special album, it was released in on the 13th of January, 2004 and I really am lucky to get the album within a week from its release date...

10 Can This Be Real 5:18
11 April Fools (Previously Unreleased In The U.S.) 4:30

Great Synth-Pop Set- Terrible Packaging.......2005-08-17

The first three Tears For Fears albums are all quintessential 80's pop. That is to say, the singles are phenomenal, the album tracks have cool synth experimentation, but there are a few slow spots on each disc.

"The Hurting" is almost like a therapy session on record. Some of the lyrics may be a little too introspective, but the hooks more than make up for it. Mad World is an amazing song (follow it up with great cover version in "Donnie Darko") and Pale Shelter remains a sturdy single.

"Songs From the Big Chair" contains this group's biggest hits. Shout is almost like an ode to primal scream therapy, and Everybody Wants to Rule the World may be the best single of the entire decade. Head Over Heels turns out to be part of a pretty cool song suite. There is no filler on this album with the possible exception of track 8 (the instumental last track of the original album which just doesn't really seem to go anywhere).

"The Seeds of Love" start to drop the synth-pop vibe for more Beatles-like sounds and late 80's pop values (which these guys actually do quite well). The title track and Woman In Chains are the singles here, but my favorite is Standing On The Corner Of The Third World, featuring Manu Katche on drums and some really cool worldbeat sounds.

The packaging on this set is a bit of a problem. The CD's seem to have trouble holding in their spots, and I had to exchange this set because of strange warping on the second disc. My next copy still had a few strange warped marks on it, but at least it plays ok. Additionaly, while you do get the CD booklets, this set leaves out the back covers. This unfortunately makes putting these discs in normal CD cases less desirable, as well as robbing the owner of the back cover art. Still, this is a pretty cheap way of getting these albums remastered with bonus tracks (as separate purchases it would cost $45-60).

Gorgeous CD.......2003-09-16

I actually haven't taken this CD out of the player since I got it. In my humble opinion. Hyperion is the classiest label going; in fact, I'll buy Hyperion CDs even without being familiar with the singers, because I trust the producers. I saw this CD classified in the folk section at the library--but I knew better. Marie McLaughlin is a real singer, not a folk singer, and she does justice to these beautiful songs. I'd rather hear a classically trained singer sing folk songs than a folk singer sing anything.

a disappointment from Hyperion.......2001-06-21

I do not wish to be too harsh on this album...there is nothing glaringly wrong with it. My main quibble is with the title: "Songs of Scotland." These songs may well be "from" Scotland...but they are not "of Scotland."

The music on "Songs of Scotland" is great--as long as you are looking for very English, semi-operatic readings of these Scottish songs.

Mrs. McLaughlin (an opera singer) sings beautifully; but in the style she is most accustomed too. Mr. Martineau certainly knows his way around a piano and as with Mrs. McLaughlin's singing, I find no fault in his playing here.

My quibble, which may well be minor to some...was that I expected much more "Scottish" sounding renditions of these songs; in this regard, I was disappointed.

This disc is OK in and of itself...recommendable even...but consider yourself warned. Now you know what you'll be getting.

Average customer rating: Expect nothing less than superb artistry from this pianist.

Customer Reviews:

Another fine addition to the series.......2001-02-13

After a bit of a slip with the second, this series was back on track with this third CD of songs cut from well-known musicals. As I mentioned in a previous review, just about any successful musical has had songs cut from it, not always because the song wasn't good, but because it no longer fit the show as updated, or a character or scene was cut (the booklet explains why each song was removed from its show). Once again, the songs are all good and the performances are wonderful. My favorites are "Mama's Talking Soft" (cut from Gypsy), "Big Fat Heart" (Seesaw), "Your Own College Band" (Where's Charley?), "When I Go Out Walkin' with my Baby" (Oklahoma!), and "Pick Up the Pieces" (also Seesaw). Bruce Kimmel was smart in using show singers instead of pop singers. I recommend the entire series. This CD features some fine songs that deserve renewed appreciation.
