BTO's Greatest Hits [CD]

Love Rick Springfield and I'm a big fan of www.melodicrock.com; an Aussie rock website that pays plenty of good attention to Rick. The webmaster had a big hand in the release of this. The cd opens with "Light of Love" and it is kickin'. The Gary Schutt version of "Carry Me Away" is almost cooler sounding than Rick's. My favorite Rick song is "Love Somebody" and unfortunately the mix is pretty bad. The vocals are so far out in front of the band that it becomes distracting. And with not the greatest vocal track it's a slight letdown. Stratocruiser does "Beautiful You". A NICE, non-traditional, choice for a Rick Springfield cover.
