Review title: A little disappointed at first, but a decent collection of songs
Product review: I must admit that I purchased this expecting to find a heavily "cajunified" cover of Dire Straits "Walk of Life". Instead, it sounds like Mann is being backed by a single accordion player and a karaoke machine. I found this to be disappointing so I put the CD away for awhile.Recently I played the entire CD and found it to contain a number of hidden gems. He actually makes "Red Red Wine" his own (although I'm more familiar with the UB40 cover than the original). "Keep Your Arms Around Me" is a classic. Also, "Borderline" is a great up-tempo number to break up what are a number of slower tunes.Overall, I'd say that this is a good, but not great CD. Mann has a great voice, but he needs a better backup band (or a band period) for the recordings. If you are a big fan of Charles Mann himself, you will probably have a higher opinion, but for general fans of swamp pop and blue-eyed soul it will probably rate just average.
