Guide Review - I Give My Heart - John Berry
The first cut on the album is the classic Jim Croce song "Time In A Bottle" which fits John’s expressive tenor voice like a glove. “Will You Marry Me” is a wonderful new “wedding anthem” that deserves to be on the radio. "Lets Stay Together" is fully reinvented into the country soul ballad it was always destined to be. Kenny Rogers' "Lady" is also given a standout reworking while some other standout tracks on the CD are the rerecording of "Your Love Amazes Me" and one of my all-time favorite album cuts, the Billy Kirsch/Allan Shamblin title cut, "I Give My Heart."
It takes a special vocalist to be able to record these classic songs and not "butcher" them. Thankfully, John Berry is one of the best vocalists in any genre to have ever recorded a song. 'I Give My Heart' is an album full of timeless love songs that will be used in many weddings for years to come. Fans of love songs or great vocalists will love this album.
