How do you drum up interest in a Jerry Lee Lewis record, since the Ferriday Fireball is 71 and hasn't put out an album since 1996? First, you pair him with 22 of the biggest stars of rock (Mick Jagger, Keith Richards), country (Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard), and blues (Buddy Guy, B.B. King), to show how he put his stamp on nearly every genre. Then, you hire the dean of music chroniclers, Peter Guralnick, to give the liner notes heft. And--oh, yes, you also make sure the piano-pounding pioneer displays the best finger form he's shown in 25 years. Throughout, the Killer crows, struts, and self-mythologizes with the brio of youth, and who could resist him? At times, one may question the wisdom of turning an obvious guitar tune (Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll") into a piano-dominated performance, just as it seems odd to not make the best use of such guests as Toby Keith or Delaney Bramlett. But Lewis never yields the throne for a second, even surrounded by the likes of Robbie Robertson, Neil Young, and Eric Clapton. For that reason, most of these aren't true duets--the star instrumentalists take their solos, and the harmonies of some of the most legendary vocalists (Don Henley, Little Richard) stay too far in the background. But when things really work--as they do with Bruce Springsteen (the rave-up "Pink Cadillac"), Neil Young (a crackling rendition of "You Don't Have To Go"), Kid Rock (an even blacker "Honky Tonk Woman"), George Jones (the novelty-framed "Don't Be Ashamed of Your Age"), and Kris Kristofferson (an especially poignant take on "The Pilgrim: Chapter 33"), the rock of ages cleaves for thee and me. Last Man Standing refers to the famous cover of Million Dollar Quartet, on which he's pictured with fellow Sun artists Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins, all now jamming in the great beyond. Yet in a spoken-word reprise at the end of the Kristofferson song--"From the rocking of the cradle / To the rolling of the hearse / The going up was worth the coming down"--the Last Man seems to suggest his own fine epitaph. It's hard to argue with a hellraiser extraordinaire. --Alanna Nash

Album Description

5 out of 5 stars Man, that just blew my mind!.......2007-07-01

About 50 years ago, Sun Records was at the forefront of the beginning of rock and roll, with performers like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis. The title of this CD refers to the fact that Jerry Lee Lewis is "the last man standing" among these Sun Records legends, which is pretty amazing when you consider that he probably led the wildest life of all of them. For this album, the 70something year old Killer performs duets with a bunch of other record stars. "Duets" is not quite an accurate description, though, since some guests just perform instruments and some guests sing what amounts to background vocals. But the real star here is of course Jerry Lee himself, who proves that he can still sing and pump the piano better than just about anybody. He handles rock, country and blues songs equally well. The duet partners were probably added to make the album more commercial, but they do manage to add something to the mix, since it gives the album more variety. I suspect that their presence also pushed Jerry Lee to do his best, since he wouldn't want to be outshined on his own album. The Killer can frequently be heard joking around with them, which adds to the fun of the album. This is probably the greatest rock and roll album every recorded by a senior citizen, and it puts to rest the lie that rock music is strictly for young people.

5 out of 5 stars It's about time!.......2007-05-28

Jerry Lee is one of the last surviving rock and roll pioneers and it is about time he rec'd some quality attention. I've seen him live, and man, oh, man, is he for real. The production on this project is good, the performances are good, the packaging is good, the song selection is good; this will definitely be a project that will add to his legacy. As with all of us, Father Time is catching up with the Killer, and my personal wish is that whoever was responsible for this project would have done it 10-15 years ago. It seems so many of the early rock and roll pioneers die without really having quality documentation (there is a good special featuring Carl Perkins, which shamefully had to be made in England because he was apparently appreciated more there, and of course Chuck Berry's "Hail, Hail, Rock and Rock" should be in every music lover's home). Now if we could only get new projects from Chuck Berry, or Little Richard, or Fats Domino!

5 out of 5 stars never quit.......2007-05-17

This guy is an immortal. Some people are great forever. He is one.

4 out of 5 stars Age is Showing.......2007-05-15

It is painfully obvious that Jerry Lee isn't the "Killer" anymore, but I am still happy I have added this latest work to my collection.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful CD.......2007-05-06

This is a great CD if you like the boogie woogie style paino. So many wonderful voices have paired up with Jerry for this one, you can't help but like some of the songs, and fortunately I liked them all. Perhaps my favorite is he with B.B. King--a wonderful piece. This is not a perfectly orchestrated CD, and the "soul" comes through.

5 out of 5 stars Sill ROCKIN' at 71.......2007-07-04

I've been a fan Of Jerry Lee for 30 years. This live cd and DVD is enough to make anyone a fan, even at this late date in his life. You'll wish you had checked him out years ago. Get "Live at the Star Club" if you want to hear him when he was 29. R. Lee, Rochester, NY

5 out of 5 stars Still rocking at 71.......2007-05-12

Last Man Standing If you are a Killer fan like me this is a must have LIVE dvd. Jerry Lee at 71 still shows he is the master of Boogie Woogie piano. He sings 28 live songs with a variety of stars from Kid Rock to Tom Jones through Willie Nelson and John Fogerty plus others. Jerry Lee outshines them all and the respect they have for him is obvious to see. Buy this DVD it is a truly great show you will enjoy

5 out of 5 stars Who's gonna play this old piano... .......2007-04-25

Jerry will always be the legend and the Killer. He is truly the last man standing.
I really enjoyed audio CD that comes in this package. Songs are live cuts from recent performances. Jerry's version of Lucille is just great. I have always enjoyed his take on this song and have been blasting this recent version in my car and at home.

About DVD...I must admit that my favorite Jerry was when he was in his 40s and 50s.
He had the blues, the country and the rocknroll. He had the heartache to portray it in his songs and he still had the fire to give it some hell on the piano. This DVD is for the fans - people who love JLL, who follow him, who respect him and who admire him. I think it was a great effort to prove the point of the Last Man Standing, but at the same time when I finished watching this DVD i had a bit of a nostalgic feeling not willing to admit that the years are going by...

1 out of 5 stars 100% garbage!!!.......2007-04-23

this guy should have retired years ago, as he has consistently phoned in his live shows and studio albums for the past, oh, 35 years or so. there's no conviction here whatsoever, and his vocals are nothing but a bunch of hillbily warbling. if you must own one of his live albums, get the starclub cd, and skip this bland performance.

5 out of 5 stars A Killer Show.......2007-04-20

After buying the stand alone DVD, I'd purchased a copy of this CD/DVD Last Man Standing combo release in hopes that it would include some of the soundtrack, instead of another release of old hits. I got lucky! The CD contains all (7) of the Jerry Lee solo performances from the DVD (see the solo DVD for my detailed review of the concert), plus one additional song, Lucille, for a total of 8 live performances.

If you enjoyed the DVD, you'll love this CD, especially the stand-out performaces of Roll Over Beethoven, Chantilly Lace and the unreleased Lucille, one of my favorite Little Richard/Everly Brothers cuts. Even the country weapers, That Lucky Old Sun and Don't Put No Headstone on My Grave, are good!

5 out of 5 stars A weird but worthwhile score........2001-11-14

Thematically poor it may well be but this is a great CD. Elmer Bernstein was hired originally to do the score and altho his music was impressive it just didn't fit the tone of the movie. Ry Cooder has hit the mark with his score .The opening music is the most distant and morbid I have ever heard. It's great and really makes us feel was Bruce Willis is feeling in the movie. So far away and distant this score almost becomes tragic in places. Track 13 is a classic and 20 and 24 create a VERY downbeat tone. This is an unmissable CD.

5 out of 5 stars A breakthrough!.......2001-10-17

If you've reached this space, you've obiously seen the movie. If you haven't, go see it right away! A bit matcho it is, yes, but Bruce Willis does a great job at playing tough, and my the actors in this movie are all great. So heck, go see it!

Ok, I am going to talk to those of you who have seen the movie. Did you like the background music in the movie, and thought to yourself: "Wow, that music is wonderful, I have to have it."

Well think no more about it then. The creators of this soundtrack CD has obviously done their homework. Almost ever background tune you heard in the movie, IS ON THIS CD. That means a lot of quality guitar mood music, taken of course from Last man Standing. Great music for romantic occasions, relaxing, and daydreaming.

Some would-be soundtracks get neglected, and released just for that extra buck. But if all soundtracks / scores were this great, I would have no trouble hitting the "buy" button of the movies were I thought the background music ruled!

    4 out of 5 stars 3.5 stars from Eiht.......2004-11-03

    Eiht's 3rd solo album and last on epic is probably his second worst but it still is a must have for fans. It has it's good songs but also some bad ones, he even said himself it's his least favorite album he's done. It has 9 ok songs, 1 that I skip, 1 classic, 1 great song and trhe rest are good. Production isn't as good as it should be from the people who handled it, DJ Slip & Eiht (6 songs each), Daz Dillinger & Massive (1 song each), and DJ Muggs (4 songs) If only he got the airplay he deserves at least on the east coast (couldn't say for the west -much like Spice 1 or DJ Quik and many other Cali rappers) he'd have at least 10 million solo records sold and a bunch of platinum plaques.

    eiht said himself he did'nt like this lp since he was going through some issues at the time some cuts are tight some you can tell eiht wanna just quit rapping and go back to selling dope on the corner my fave is can i get mine cause eiht always represented the streetlife to me and those beats he puts out make you wanna get in the car and run a few red lights.

    4 out of 5 stars MC Eiht "Last Man Standing".......2002-10-26

    MC Eihts "Last Man Standing" his third album and last before he moved from Epic to Priority is nice. Known by many from movies such as Boyz N the Hood and Menace to Society, and soundtrack songs like "Growin' Up in the Hood". Have to admit I have been sleeping on him for years, never copped an album of his, and only recently got a chance to listen to "Last Man Standing". MC Eiht reps Compton with nice relaxed beats, and hardcore tight lyrics. MC Eiht's and DJ Slip's production is ill and features tracks produced by Daz Dilinger (DPG) and Muggs who are both nice producers. Right now my favourite tracks on the album is Any Meanz, which is a funky laid back track with a dope beat. MC Eiht speaks to the streets, and the album flows nicely throughout. An album worth checking out.

    Having earned his composing stripes after the 1960s, John Adams had the pioneering work of Steve Reich, Philip Glass, and Terry Riley close at hand as he ventured into his trade. And, while minimalism's historical continuum helps place Adams, he used Reich, Glass, and Riley (among others) only as a starting point. And here's proof: a 10-CD retrospective of nearly all Adams's recorded compositions on Nonesuch Records, the label that also issued Steve Reich 1965-1995 and Kronos Quartet: 25 Years. Adams's Harmonium, a choral work of startling energy and effervescence, appears here in a new recording, as do distillations of both The Death of Klinghoffer and Nixon in China, two path-clearing operas. Over the span of a career covered by Earbox, Adams has returned minimalism to traditional instrumental ensembles as well as to projects that at once advanced a political commentary and took that commentary back to orchestral audiences. And so, in far less time than his predecessors, Adams created works that now play like standard repertoire pieces: The Wound Dresser and Shaker Loops and the Violin Concerto--all of them are here. What these works demonstrate is a fierce creativity on the one hand and perhaps a hunger for commercial advances on the other. Adams may at times be a bustling free thinker, but he sounds ever conscious of what audiences are listening to. As for the works themselves, they remain every bit as daunting as when written.

    Some may object to particular selections. I Was Looking at the Ceiling and Then I Saw the Sky, for example, hardly ranks with Adams's best work. But this box isn't a mere best-of; it's an almost-all-of. At times terrifically American--especially in the news-aware operas and their narrative pragmatism--Adams well deserves a major box set, and its coverage is appropriate to his varied, stylistically diverse output. As with any large-scale retrospective, Earbox--which fairly bristles with Adams's new composition, Slonimsky's Earbox--has spots where fans might balk at the quality of the composer's writing. But it's got a fantastic accompanying booklet along with its many hours of inarguably modern and thoroughly listener-friendly music. --Andrew Bartlett

    Never before in my life was i moved so intensely and directly by classical music. I put the first cd in my player and a few minutes later tears are flowing. I find myself dancing and moving to a rythm i already seem to know. Wow, i just have to share that.

    5 out of 5 stars Nonesuch delivers.Again.......2002-11-27

    John adams is one of the most popular living composers of"modern" classical music[I believe the cutoff point, though arbitrary is usually WWII}.I came to him late, through my husband. Modersn classical music , I said? What the hell is that?My husband kept playing bits and pieces of adams for me, and more and more i found myself amazed. and swayed. His operas have been groundbreaking{Nixon in China} controversial{Death Of klinghoffer},his compostions sublimely beautiful{shaker Loops or harmonium].HIS STATURE IS WORTHY THEN OF SUCH A MONUMENTAL CAREER SPANNING BOX SET.This 10 disc set[great value, again from NONESUCH}encompasses Adams' entire career,and though there are some misses here{I was looking at the ceiling and then i saw the sky doesnt quite fit},it is still magnificent. the Highlights are ,{for me} the Wound Dresser, Chamber symphony,Violin Concerto, of course, Shaker Loops and Harmonuim are wonderful. The true jewels here are Nixon in China,the Chairman dances and the Death of Klinghoffer,which is simply a masterpiece. The set comes with a wonderful book, which contains essay's by Robert Hurwitz {An Uncommon Man}renaud Machart[John adams as seen from europe} and Essays before an earbox by Adams himself.A Chronology and dicography are included. A wonderful study of an American original,worth the investment, Highly highly recommended

    4 out of 5 stars harmonia in excelsis.......2001-11-12

    I must agree with Mr. Bartlett, particularly with regard to "Ceiling." It may well be because his Violin Concerto and Harmonielehre are so powerful. 4.5 stars.
    Interesting, and likely intentional, is that two names in the extensive liner book fail to mention two great and glaringly obvious precursors: Carl Orff and Raymond Scott. Without "Carmina Burana," there would be no "Harmonium." Orff has his mark all over Adams's gifted and epic compositions. Similarly, though there are glib references to "cartoon music," the polymath engineer/musician Scott is a seminal figure in American music, and casts a large shadow over the witty juxtapositions and sense of play one loves in Adams's work. In all, an excellent career overview.

    5 out of 5 stars Our greatest living composer.......2001-07-22

    As a composer, I'm staggered that anyone could fail to be gripped by this music.

    That anyone can use the words "spoiled, overrated" amazes me. I emphatically disagree with "A music fan"'s review.

    I don't think it's "mind-numbing"; I think it's spiritual and exciting. To me it's the most substantial music being created in our times.

    I'm really sorry that anyone could fail to enjoy it, and really recommend others to listen for themselves.

    Album Description

    The technopop vigilante is back! Fr/action's new album, "Last Man Standing", is the eagerly anticipated sequel to the 2002 debut, "Crimes of the Future". The story resumes shortly after a nuclear holocaust has decimated the urban battleground of the first album. Now, The Vigilante finds himself fighting for survival in a new and violent post-apocalyptic wasteland.

    Musically, "Last Man Standing" presents an ultra-polished perfection of Fr/action's signature style. "Crimes of the Future" became a favorite of DJs across the realms of electro, EBM, and synthpop, and "Last Man Standing" takes this genre synthesis to even greater heights. Propulsive beats fuse with precision-crafted electronics and cinematic lyrics to create an intense, double-barreled dancefloor assault.

    "Last Man Standing" also contains two action-packed CD-ROM bonus videos, and is presented in a deluxe Digipak. In addition, people who buy the CD will receive a code to download exclusive remixes from the official Fr/action website. This album secures Fr/action's reputation as one of the most exciting and conceptually innovative artists of its kind today.

    Customer Reviews:

    5 out of 5 stars An incredible second album!.......2004-10-01

    One of the most unique things about Fr/Action is that instead of an album being a collection of songs, it's more of a story where each track is a chapter. "Crimes of the Future", the debut album, had the Vigilante (the main character) living in a decaying society, fighting for survival. In "Last Man Standing", an apparent nuclear holocaust has left the world in shambles, and the Vigilante is forced to become Mad Max in order to stay alive. The only classification for this is "Sci-Fi Music"... it's like a book set to an unrelenting dance-beat.

    My over-riding favorite on the album is "Irreversible", which is probably my favorite Fr/Action song to date (ranking only slightly ahead of "City Nights", the B-side from the Vigilante EP). This track is often the first one I'll listen to before going back and playing the whole album. "The Living and the Dead" is also a great song with a catchy chorus, and "New Flesh" offers a very hopeful view of the Vigilante's fate in this new frontier. I also enjoy "Partners in Crime". Don't miss the music video on the enhanced CD-ROM! Definitely more creative than most music videos, this one tells a story just through the images that enhances the story of the Vigilante.

    I have two small complaints about the disc, but they aren't enough for me to drop the rating from 5 stars. My biggest complaint is the fact that the songs have only one verse (a problem I had with "Crimes of the Future" as well). There is so much more room for content here, yet every single song has one verse, a chorus, repeat the first verse, repeat the chorus. A second verse in every song would definitely help to add much more depth to this story-telling adventure. As it stands, the content seems rather one-dimensional.

    And my only other complaint is where do they go from here? Fr/Action has established themselves as more of a story than a band, so another album would practically be obligated to follow this format. In that respect, they may have painted themselves into a corner. How much story is there to tell here? Even Mad Max had only three chapters, and the last one was debatably rather lame. Can Fr/Action continue the story of the Vigilante in future albums and have any originality? This is a truly unique musical experience, but one that seems destined to have an end. There's only so much you can say about one guy fighting to stay alive in the future.

    That aside, this album is excellent. We'll worry about the future later. Right now, it's all about the present, and this is a record any synthpop fan will be spinning for a long time to come.

    5 out of 5 stars An incredible 2nd release from Fr/action!.......2004-09-22

    Fr/action's 'Last Man Standing' is a post-nuclear-themed follow-up to the debut CD, 'Crimes of the Future'. From the first song (and sample), this CD holds the listener (and dancer) in a tight propulsive grip...bringing the brain and body online in an excellent fusion of percussion, melody and haunting vocal surfing over the top of the audio melee.

    This is futurepop which easily ranks with T.O.Y., Covenant and VNV Nation. You won't need to wait for the CD to grow on you, the music just grabs you instantly and doesn't let go till the CD player has been quiet for several minutes. It's a treat for the DJ to get a floor moving and anyone who is looking for some solid, take-no-prisoner futurepop!

    I give it a fraction of 5/5.

    5 out of 5 stars Great new album -- must buy for synthpop/electronica fans.......2004-09-22

    Last year I happened by chance upon Fr/action's first album, "Crimes of the Future". I'd been looking for something original for quite a while and that album struck a chord. Fast-paced synth, apocalyptic lyrics, track titles that pay homage to 70s crime films -- do I have to say anymore? It was a great debut and provided me with many pulse-pounding hours of synth euphoria.

    "Crimes" came out in 2002, didn't receive mass distribution, and had me worried that Fr/action, like other talented but underpublicized artists, would disappear from the scene. Glad to report that they did not. Their new album "Last Man Standing" represents a mature evolution of Fr/action's sound and a killer companion to "Crimes of the Future". Listening to these albums I get transported into a Mad Max future of armaggedon and vigilante justice, all with a unstoppable beat for a backdrop. I'd rank Fr/action right up there with Icon of Coil and Cut.Rate.Box. Also - the "Keoma" samples are classic. Fr/action obviously has good taste in movies.

    This is a great album and worth buying. DJs definitely need to play more of this stuff. If you are looking for some futuristic synthpop, order this album today. In fact, order both Fr/action albums. This group's a real find.

    5 out of 5 stars The return of the Vigilante.......2004-09-12

    The return of the Vigilante

    It's hard to believe that the first outing for Fr/action's Vigilante was back in 2002. He is back in the new album `Last Man Standing' and life hasn't got any easier for him! He continues to fight crime as the day of final judgement nears.

    I can't tell you how much I was looking forward to the latest release from Fr/action, but I can say that it more than lives up to my expectations. As with `Crimes of the Future' this is a great collection of tracks that certainly don't disappoint. This album builds on the success of Crimes and takes those trademark beats and strong melodies to another level; the songs on Last Man Standing flow effortlessly from one to another and are all so easy to listen to. The greatest success of this CD is that it works on so many different levels; the music playing against a backdrop of moral decay in a world laid waste to by a nuclear holocaust, while the songs themselves tell the Vigilante's story. Not forgetting the tight beats, which are sure to be a hit on the dance floors.

    An added bonus to the CD, as well as the couple of videos included on the disc, is a unique code that comes with each copy. Don't lose this, it will enable you to access a special area of the Fr/action web site - www.fractionhq.com - where exclusive remixes are waiting for you.

    I loved Last Man Standing the first time I heard it, but if it's at all possible I like it more and more with each listen. The synths are impressive and the melodies are catchy, like me you're sure to have them playing in your head for some time afterwards but you won't mind! The original album is an old friend now; I have no doubt the same will be true of Last Man Standing. This is a great CD which just begs to be listened to; it's well worth the money so don't hesitate, order your copy today.

    Elmer Bernstein created a wonderful and passionate score for Last Man Standing that, sadly, didn't match the context of the film. His cues are exciting and soothing and the Track 6-Felina's Story and Track 7-Free have a beautiful, gentle and relaxing theme. This really is cool music. Track 8-The Beating is powerful and perhaps the only track on the CD that would have suited the film. The action cues in the beginning and end of this track will blow you away. It's a shame there is not more of it but this CD makes for 32 minutes of rare and delightful music.

    4 out of 5 stars Not everything is good, but if it is, it is really good.......2005-05-18

    OK, let's admit it : tracks 1, 8, 9, 12 and 13 are bad, if not horrible. Track 1 is a horrible intro (it was 1999 right ?), same for track 13 (the outro). Tracks 8 and 9 are boring ballads which have nothing to do on a dance CD, and track 12 is an awful country (!!!) version of track 2. BUT... the rest is a-w-e-s-o-m-e stuff, and I could listen to these tracks for a long time. Some nice eurodance tracks here are tracks 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, well half of the album is good eurodance. Track 3 is my favourite here. It is one of the best dance tracks of the year 1999 without a doubt. Then we have other nice tracks, slower ones but not ballads, these are tracks 4 (my 3rd favourite after tracks 3 and 2) and track 7. These 2 are sort of euro-pop, a bit similar to Ace Of Base, track 4 has even been compared to "Coco Jamboo" by Mr. President but I can tell you it has nothing to have with this one.

    Well, if we sum up, 8 out of 13 tracks are really good. These 8 tracks are worth it. If you like eurodance music, this is recommended, as well as the first E-Type album "Made In Sweden" (which is my personal favourite from him).

    5 out of 5 stars E-Type's Pure Euro.......2002-01-28

    E-Type has long been the "king" of Euro-pop. With each consecutive album, he has shown an unashamed love for simple pop melodies. Even though he has tried many different kinds of sounds (hard rock, dance, techno, ballads), he always ends up back in the Euro-pop genre. With his 1998 album, "Last Man Standing", he once again brings us a collection of tracks that range from fast to slow, but always manages to capture that innocent, melodious feel of Swedish pop. Several tracks here are produced by Max Martin who is well-known stateside as the European writer/producer of big hits by Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys and N*Sync. E-Type has emerged from the Swede powerhouse of Cheiron Studios in Stockholm with an album that satisfies the most intense pop craving. "Last Man Standing" is a solid effort from Martin Eriksson a.k.a. E-Type. The real outstanding track on this record is ANGELS CRYING(#2). It is the very first E-Type song I had ever heard, and it is the most perfectly crafted dance song I have heard in a while. The piano opening, along with the strong vocals of Nana, gives way to a memorable tune that is the best of E-Type. Once you hear this one, you just can't shake it. There is also an equally unforgetable video for ANGELS CRYING somewhere out there. HERE I GO AGAIN(#3)is another track that displays E-Type's fondness for male/female vocals accompanied by synth sounds and dance beats. Another great song is PRINCESS OF EGYPT(#4). With a Middle Eastern-derived sound, this song is less dance and more pop. However, it is upbeat and catchy enough to appeal to even the most hardened dance enthusiast. With HOLD YOUR HORSES(#5), E-Type brings us another familiar sounding track with Nana's vocals and dance feel. It is a weaker song, but the beats keep me coming back to it for more. I'M FLYING(#6), I'LL FIND A WAY(#10) and SO FAR AWAY(#11)are more of the same....totally danceable and unforgettable. Normally on a dance album, I hate ballads. However, E-Type's uncanny ability to find the catchiness in life translates to his music. WALK AWAY(#9)is perhaps the best of the ballads. It resembles the sound of a Backstreet Boys track in it's slow, foot-tapping melody. The only song on the album that honestly has no place here is ANGELS COUNTRY(#12). It is, pointless enough, a country version of the album's best track, ANGELS CRYING. I have learned, though, in my long career of being a music fan, that even the best albums are entitled to make a mistake here and there. "Last Man Standing" is the best example of a complete Euro-trash record. Awesome stuff!

    This album is GREAT!It includes the song "Angels crying",a beautiful song in eurodance-style,"Here I go again",a song in the same style as "Angels crying",and "Princess of Egypt",with great "egyptian" background music. It also includes two romantic tracks,"Walk away" and "I'll always be around".I think this cd is E-type's BEST!
