5 out of 5 stars U2 Fan? Then you want this ...........2005-10-29

U2.com had this version of If You Wear That Velvet Dress on their website, in Quicktime format, for only a short while.

Well, the song is lyrically very nice, but the version on the Pop album wasn't that swift, and the POP Live in Mexico version is only somewhat better.

Holy cow ... the version of If You Wear That Velvet Dress on the website was fantastic - just beautiful. However, I couldn't find it anywhere.

Well I'm searching and here it is!

If you like U2, then for this song, the CD is worth the price of entry.

I play the song for my fiance and she just loves it, but it was an Apple Quicktime and I could not get it onto a CD. Well, now I have the CD coming.

Just beautiful.

4 out of 5 stars Another fine mess you've gotten me into..........2003-08-04

A terrific follow up to Holland's Big Band Rhythm & Blues, More Friends boasts an impressive array of guest singers from Bryan Ferry to Chrissie Hynde. All the usual suspects are back of course; Sam Brown does a nice turn dueting with Sam Moore on Together We Are Strong. Bono's remake of the U2 track If You Wear That Velvet Dress is actually sharper and superior to the band's version of that track. Holland and his band bring a sophistication to the tune that was totally lacking before.

Holland's collaboration with Robert Plant is a wonder; Plant hasn't sounded this invigorated in years. The same could be said for the MIA Ray Davies. He hasn't recorded an solo album or with his band The Kinks in years. His performances seem to have taken over his life at the moment so it's nice and refreshing to hear him again particularly on such a great tune as Yours Truly, Confused. Badly Drawn Boy makes an appearence on a self penned tune which fits in neatly with Holland's style (not a surprise given Holland's past membership in Squeeze). Holland also continues working with a roster of talented he admires but that has been overlooked by mainstream radio including Jimmy Cliff, Tom Jones, Marianne Faithful (performing Dylan's You Gotta Serve Somebody), George Benson (!), Dionne Warwick, Edwin Starr and more popular contemporary talents such as Stereophonics, Huey (from Fun Lovin' Criminals), the ever popular Robert Plant and the obscure but great Blind Boys of Alabama.

It's clear on all the tracks that this was a labor of love for Holland and that the performers got caught up in the spirit of the recordings. If you're concerned that Holland has forgotten any of the major talents of the 60's and 70's, Jeff Beck drops in for a searing performance of Drown in My Own Tears. There are a couple of omissions--I'm surprised not to hear Holland work with Glenn Tilbrook, Elvis Costello or Paul McCartney on this follow up. I also think that Tom Petty, Roger McGuinn and Peter Green would make interesting collaborators for future installments (should there be any).

While More Friends won't benefited from any high profile deaths a la George Harrison and Joe Strummer from the last CD, perhaps it'll win sales and airplay on merit alone; it's every bit the equal of the previous album although it lacks the extra guest star power that a former Beatle and member of The Clash brought to Big Band. More Friends is a step forward and back; the collaborations and performers gathered on this collection are more diverse and, arguably, some of the songs are better as well. Again, there isn't anything that quite matches the stand out track on the last album (Harrison's searing Horse to the Water)but the overall quality is higher. The step back? Well, it doesn't have anything that jumps out at you as being radio ready (meaning crap I suppose)material. Kudos to Rhino for putting this out and to Jools for continuing to do the music and stuff he loves best.

5 out of 5 stars Another great production!.......2004-01-18

I just got this CD. I ordered it last week and waited anxiously for it to arrive. I loved the other two friends albums. This one is on the same level as the previous efforts--it's a lot of fun! I especially love the Solomon Burke/Eric Clapton numbers (there's two); Smokey Robinson, Ringo Starr, and Michael McDonald (with Candy Dulfer), but every track is a pleasure to listen to. I wish I could see the TV show that inspires these tracks. My town is too small to get BBC programming, unfortunately. Please Amazon USA carry more of Jools work. I just ordered a number of CDs from the U.K. site. Why aren't they available in the U.S.?
