Gino Vannelli Powerful People Pop Music CD Review
I can describe the latest release from Pop sensation Gino Vannelli for you with just one word… Outstanding!
Unfortunately, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Powerful People. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Powerful People is a pleasantly varied, mix of 9 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly talented artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.
Powerful People is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone. I give it my highest recommendation. It’s quite simply great listening. A must buy for the Pop fan.
While the entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 3 – Son Of A New York Gun, track 8 – The Work Verse, and track 9 – Poor Happy Jimmy (Tribute to Jim Croce).
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – People Gotta Move. Outstanding!

Gino Vannelli Storm at Sunup Pop Music CD Review
Storm At Sunup is the latest Pop CD put out by the extremely talented Gino Vannelli who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I’m confident Gino Vannelli fans, and Pop fans alike will be pleased with this one.
It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it’s own.
Storm At Sunup has a nicely varied, mix of 8 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.
If you’re a Gino Vannelli fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don’t even have to be a fan of Vannelli, or even Pop to know is good. This is just good music. Period.
While the entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 2 – Love Me Now, track 5 – Where Am I Going, and track 8 – Gettin’ High.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Storm At Sunup. What a nice track!
