About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Fans of subtly introspective folky blues will love this ebullient collection of songs and underscoring that adorns Charles Shyer's imaginative 2004 reworking of the classic romantic comedy-drama Alfie. Shyer abandons the mid-'60s "swinging London" location of the original, which vaulted Michael Caine to stardom, instead setting his version in contemporary New York, with Jude Law in the lovably caddish title role. And instead of the original film's jazz soundtrack provided by sax man Sonny Rollins and his ten-piece orchestra, the update's soundtrack is a warm collaboration between iconic Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger -- himself a noted ladies' man -- and the multi-talented Dave Stewart, best known as diva Annie Lennox's partner in the '80s pop sensation Eurythmics. This unlikely pairing sparks some terrifically warm moments, showcasing Jagger's and Stewart's distinctive talents on the cuts "Counting the Days" and "Old Habits Die Hard" (featuring the endearing vocals of Sheryl Crow and Jagger), among others. The album's real jewel, however, is young Joss Stone's gusty, rootsy cover of the movie's noted Bacharach-David theme song. What's this new Alfie all about? Good music. L.D. Beghtol, Barnes & Noble

April 11, 2009: After so much listening to this CD, it is one of my top five best that I love all-time CDs.

The musicians are skilled and well rehearsed: tight!

The scores are really quite intricate, and they work wonders for me.

I can relate to the messages, the beats, the harmonies, the responsorial themes. All quite good instrumentally and the vocals are very beautiful.

I sometimes listen to it on the stationary bike and sometimes on the iStereo after couple glasses wine at home. It always moves me.

I like it and I wanted to say so here: i read mixed reviews of it, but here is a review from me and its real. I think the CD was worth every cent! and I am glad I bought it.
